Any opinions on ghost ring sites? Something like this, but with a finer front site post.
Snake Eyes sights by Dead Ringer More snake eyes |
| Initial reaction is that I don't see the value of having them, especially considering the added size. Ghost rings are all about fooling your brain into automatically aligning the sights, but I feel like that only really works if the rear aperture is near your eye. I could be wrong; I'd have to try them I guess. |

| No personal experience with them but I shot a match with a guy that had installed them on his pistol. Normally this guy was a solid shooter, fighting with those sights made him look like a raw beginner. Even on 3 yard head shots he was glacial. As I said he was normally a solid and decently quick and proficient shooter. The sight change really hurt him. |
| over the years, I've tried just about every pistol open sight combination as they hit the arena...for USPSA they were way too slow.. the ghost ring concept is to provide a " out of focus ghost" image when the eye is near the sight itself (not a peep) in front of the eye box on a long gun, and I've had good luck with a set on an old 1100 for slug matches... |
