Going to have to change my name to HKGoob then! I try to use HK style sights on the AR's where I install Irons. I just don't participate in gooberville, since like 2004ish........It is just more natural for me to aim with them.
Calling a mod to please change my screen name to HKGoob please................

LOL. To me, the AR15 sights were and still are the king of iron sighting systems. (obviously we run RDS and COGs, etc now) But I still have my VHS tape set of USMC rifle training. I was a card carrying A2 sight lover. So the alternative systems were appalling to me.

Good breakdown. I pre-ordered one so I'll be getting my paws on one eventually.
I’ve owned an AUG, X95, Fs2000 and one of the old Bushmaster m17s. Being left handed the FS2000 was the most left handed friendly but it was sort of a pig. I bought a VHSII, I hate the Springfield name also. So far I have about 500 rounds through it. I know that’s an insubstantial number but that shit is expensive these days. I ran Privi 55gr, PMC X-Tac, 55gr Fiocchi, Fed XM193 and M855 and finally some crappy Brown Bear steel case. It ran all of them with no issues other than the Brown Bear failed to lock open once on the last round.
The ability to convert to left side ejection without any additional cost was a major plus for me. It also lets me shoot right handed without eating brass. The trigger will never measure up to an SSA-E. That’s fine with me. It’s better than a stock AUG trigger IMHO and not to dissimilar from an X95. It actually feels like it is getting better with use.
I used GI mags, P-Mags gen2/3, & Lancer. They all worked. Even the 20 round P-mags I used to zero the optic ran just fine.
The selector isn’t hard to use for me. I can reach it with my thumb easy enough. It’s just different.
It is a little heavy compared to most AR rifles but again that’s ok with me. It is accurate enough. I was able to hit a 6” steel plate at 200 with an Eotech while standing about 90% of the time. That’s not really all that impressive I know but it’s good enough for me. If I want to shoot tiny groups I have bolt guns and a DD V7pro with magnified optics for that purpose.
It definitely doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. The term Hk’ish is really accurate.
Shooting it off the bench was more comfortable for me than an AUG or X95. Standing, sitting or prone was no problem and comfortable.
Plus it just looks cool. Nothing wrong with owning a rifle or liking it because of its looks. I’m keeping this thing.
