XS AR sughts

[chubbs]

I found some pretty cool sights for the AR platform, they are off-set to mount at a angle to have backup sights but you have to turn the rifle sideways. My question is does anyone here have these? how are they? it seems like a good idea if you have an optic that would not work with flip up sights.

Got a set kinda like that on order off ebay. cost $35 Go to ebay and search "rapid transition sight"
Figured the cheap ones are just as good cause I plan to set and forget at a set yardage.
If I was using them as target sights and constantly adjusting them I would buy a better brand.
Most likely though they are all made in china regardless of brand.

Looks like they would snag on everything.

sorry man, but move along. Nothing to see here that is worth looking into. I have a guy I work with and he has something similar on his rifle. They have been replaced once already for getting caught and broken off. Funniest thing is that he has NEVER used them in training. His optic has always done its job.

I dont see why anyone would need to add gear catches to a rifle you may be needing to move around you and obstacles quickly. might as well put an anchor and a chain on your pistol so slow down how quickly you transition to it.

I use XS sights on my 1911 builds and like them. So I ordered some of these from Midway...much less than on the link. They may or may not get caught on everything? But I wanted to try them. If I don't like them I'll move on to somthing else.

There are plenty of people in 3-Gun using similar offset sights, but not XS sights. XS sights would be totally worthless past 10 yards, and not much good between 5 and 10 yards. Try Dueck Defense. http://www.dueckdefense.com/

I was thinking the same thing, but I am wanting them for my patrol rifle which already has alot of stuff attached to it, so I dont think I would have a snag problem.

yeah, the ones I ordered are Dueckdefense china knockoffs.

Snag on your gear and worthies if you have to transition to offhand or shoot modified prone. Great on game guns though, they do have their place.
