Ghost ring sites give you tunnel vision when you need to have a wider field of view.
Like the purpose of a red dot is to keep both eyes open so youre aware of your surroundings at a greater degree field of view. Ghost ring sites defeats that concept in theory. Just something to think about. That's what I was learneded anyways...  |

On a serious note. I'm contemplating the same thing.
I was thinking of using an A2 front, and something alot more open in the rear. I was playing with a carry handle, and I was thinking maybe having a different rear aperture. Something that was open, and matched the front ears in a way. A v-notch of some sort. Standard irons are not quick like a red dot. Think everyone just grabs a red dot and says to hell with irons. I don't like that, i want my irons. I'm going for slim bug out kits. So, anything that requires batteries is it the window. |

It's fast and I can live w/o batteries. |

The leupold isn't made anymore, looks real nice. Vortex had there prism scope that is etched as well. Those are good options. But just might be a bit bulky for what I'm wanting. Compromises are always needed, so we'll see.
Certainly a good battery-less option. |

With an astigmatism I prefer something like the prismatic over a red dot. No bloom if I have to grab it w/o my glasses. |

Look over the rear sight, using the sight ears to line up on the target....
This was how I was taught in the Infantry for CQB before Aimpoints existed. |

I was thinking *maybe* could be a bit more accurate with the aperture. Are you wanting to get kill shots every time? Or multiple body hits really quick? As with everything, practice makes perfect. You practice enough, you could hipshot for kill shots all day like Johnny Matrix! |

You practice enough, you could hipshot for kill shots all day like Johnny Matrix! The whole reason I put the little fella together was for the house. Easier to maneuver, still just as lethal. So the likelihood of me even using the sights is slim to fucking none. However, It doesn't make sense to have a weapon without sights. |

You can shoot with both eyes open with a ghost ring sight just like a red dot. The term "ghost" ring is just that , focused on the front sight the rear will nearly disappear or ghost not interfering with your peripheral vision. |

my only other option is to find an front sight that works with a carry handle, until I can fit a meprolight or aim point into the budget. |

That XS ghost ring looks like it is meant to replace the aperture in an AR-15A2 rear sight, so that would raise it quite a bit. Not sure if it will fit any backup irons.
It does look interesting, though. |

https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=122&t=691586 Tazaroo says they work fine, extended arm or cheek weld. Archived thread at link showing CZ sights on just the upper receiver rail. I imagine if you can look down a naked rail with a decent cheek weld, they'll work. Best, JBR |

They aren't too low. Trying to put the buffer tube against your shoulder is why they are "too low." Cheek weld it up higher. It's not a magnum rifle, they used to sell a chin stock for these and you can shoot an AR with it against your chin anyway.
Chevron front post and express rear. Cut the close range aperture down to just wings and you get a clear sight picture with little in the way. A red dot will create a tunnel view if not mounted correctly and the longer ones make it worse. One of those $40 green lasers off ebay is on my short list. It's Tueller distance engagement range, I don't have time to get it up to sight it. I need to place dot and pull trigger. When binary triggers get proven and cheaper it may get to the top of the list. Don't forget Home Defense is about perimeter alarms, living the quiet life, not showing off your goodies to the public, having a hardened exterior on the home that can resist a 15 minute attack, etc. Last ditch guns, no so much. If someone can ring the doorbell and you open it, then what gun someone chooses is already too little to late and evidence of flawed tactical analysis. Home Defense = they don't even try. I know, it's a gun forum, but Home Defense isn't about guns. It's about homes. |

Have you considered the Meprolight Mepro 21? No batteries required.
I recently put one with the "X" reticle on a 9mm AR pistol and zeroed it at 25 yards. I like it so far. Here is someone else's review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kskov-Jp20 |

I've been interested in the See All sights, but haven't heard much first hand experience so I'm hesitant to buy one.
