Can irises clip on to regular eyeglasses?

Post by Chris L in NC »

Doesn't look like it from the photos I've seen. If there are any, I'd like to know. I want to use the same glasses for all shooting. It is most inadvisable to shoot 1911s (about a case per thousand goes right in your eye) with the regular Champion or Varga glasses so I'd like to keep my eyeglasses for that. I am so nearsighted, my corrective lenses will probably stop .50 BMG rounds.

Yes, Merit makes one that fits on your regular glases, its adjustable, you can purchase it from Brownells, and im sure many other sources.

Consider you are in The States, Neal Johnson supplies the Gehmann Iris for normal eye glasses can fulfill your need. I have been using it for a number of years and you can have a full description of it on the Gehmann site. The centre part (the iris) can actually rotate so that it is very easy to centre your sight. The only problem is you may need to have those relative flat lenses on your eye glasses, some converse leneses will make the iris not mounting perpendicular.

Hi Chris --
Champions choice sells a Ghemens(sp) adjutable iris that's very easy to center. They also have color filter inserts...a 3-set that includes brown, grey, yellow. I used one for a year before my wife gave me a set of Champions as a present. Cheers. Dick Poore
