Stay tuned for a similar offering from KAC later this year as well.

I just picked up a set to experiment with.
Anyone else have any feedback on them yet ?
FYI, Im running them as back ups to a H-1 .
They seem like a really good idea in the event of optic failure or for use with high-powered scopes, but I do see a problem. This is a really hypothetical situation that relies on a lot of what if's but, what if you have to transition to weak-side shooting behind a barricade or if you're injured... having the sites offset to the right side wont do any good if you have to suddenly shoot lefty for some reason... just my .02

That's my thinking as well. If the rear was akin to a DD A1.5 or Troy or even LaRue fixed setup I think they'd be about perfect. I think Barry is on to something with the rugged one piece 45 degree setup most definitely, but the A2 rear does bug me.
That said, I will probably be putting a set of these on my OBR whenever I get it. That or the KAC offset micros if I can get my hands on them at that point.

I haven't used these sights but if I see them on sale somewhere I'll probably pick up a set to try out. I can think of one advantage these might have over an offset T1: they don't fog up. I've been in situations going from cold-outside to warm inside where glass gets obscured by condensation. I can see where having offset BUIS could be an advantage. Another thing to consider is that you could potentially use a tritium front in these and not be distracted by it when using your primary optic.
i run an A2 sight system with a hi powered tac-lite and have no problems with sight picture in subdued or dark lighting conditions. (this does limit dark, subdued, distance shooting though.)
I'm of the "Old school" though: K.I.S.S.
the A2 system, at least in my experience, has proven to be rugged, reliable and VERY accurate*. (but then, i was trained using military sights by the U.S. Army)
*if i want to "Drive tacks", or shoot in distances over 300 yards/meters i go to my BA .308 or 22-250 rifles, otherwise, the A2 iron sights work just fine yielding to me, me very adequate, closer in range, hunting/plinking accuracy.![]()
it is better to remain silent and be thought as being a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt...
