Episode Summary
Spencer Feldman: The Inventor Of The Green Light Sight (Shoot Faster)
Introduction to the Green Light Sight
Spencer Feldman, founder of Greenlight Sights, joins the Tactical Business Podcast to discuss his revolutionary firearm optic designed for speed and accuracy in high-stress scenarios. Unlike traditional iron sights or red dots, the Green Light Sight uses lenticular lens technology to provide an instant visual cue—turning green when aligned with the target—making it ideal for self-defense, law enforcement, and competitive shooting.
The Inspiration Behind the Invention
- Spencer, a gun enthusiast with a background in alternative medicine, developed the sight after struggling with poor visibility in low-light conditions.
- Realizing most gunfights happen at close range (10-15 feet), he prioritized point shooting (instinctive aiming) over precision optics.
- The sight co-witnesses with existing optics, allowing users to transition seamlessly between fast point shooting and precision aiming.
How the Green Light Sight Works
- Uses a lenticular lens array (similar to childhood animation toys) to display a bright green light only when properly aligned.
- Corrects for vertical misalignment (up/down) since lateral (left/right) adjustments are easier with muscle memory.
- Designed for speed over pinpoint accuracy, ensuring rapid torso hits in life-or-death situations.
Performance & Real-World Benefits
- Twice as fast as red dots and 57% faster than iron sights in testing.
- Helps legally blind shooters and those with astigmatisms by relying on a large, bright reticle instead of fine crosshairs.
- Improves police qualification rates—one officer improved from 32/50 to 49/50 after using the sight.
Future Vision & Market Expansion
- Spencer aims to equip police departments, competitive shooters, and civilian gun owners with his technology.
- Plans to expand compatibility to more firearm models (currently optimized for Glocks, SIG P365/P320, and Hellcats).
- Emphasizes training efficiency—users adapt in under 30 seconds, making it ideal for beginners and professionals alike.
