Which AR sights do you have?
Iron,
Optical,
electronic,

on the fixed handle or flat top,

Why did you choose them?
Right now I just have iron sight on my bushmaster but was thinking about a electronic sight.

Well, what AR do you have??

I think the best thing out there for electronic sights out there is the reflex II. I've got one, and love it.


For my m4gery, I have flip up front and rear iron sights. I'll probaly get an ACOG or other fixed 5x scope eventually with quick detach rings. Options. Options.

For a 20" HBAR battle rifle, I would recommend match iron sights.

For a varminter, I'd recommend a flattop with a scope.

Which sights is determined by what your intended use is.

Weapons demand iron sights. Put anything you want on a toy.

Iron sights on one and electric on the other, but with back up irons (a must have IMO).

I think unless your shooting service rifle competition, the old A1 sights, with the A2 aperture(ghostring) is the best bet.
Set and forget.

On my 20" std rifle I have A2 sights
On my 24" I have a scope mount on my carry handle and a Simmons White Tail Classic 3.5-10x40WA scope.
On my Dissipator I have use the A2 sights and have a Tasco ProPoint3 mounted in front of the carry handle. (This is my favorite setup)
The 16" carbine has plain A2 sights, I bought the Dissipator upper to replace this upper, but didn't have the heart to let go of this old friend.
I have the flat-top 20" Bushmaster, I was going to put a scope on it, but never did.  
I do have an A1 upper, but need to rebarrel it to a post ban.
