    Okay, that post had no bearing whatsoever on anything that anybody brought up in this thread.
    -It answered no questions.
    -It tied in with no other post.
    -It in no way even mentioned the topic of the thread to make up for those facts.
    -It amounted to "I think A2 sights are great, and I use other guns for shooting at the not-particularly-long range of 300m or greater!"

    So, all we have, based on the immediate above, is biographical information; we now know that you l-l-l-love A2 irons, and that you're not a particularly good shot with them, and that you have a reading comprehension headspacing issue. Mantastic.

    Don't do that drive-by shit again. Next time, take a moment to actually contribute before hitting the Submit button, or prepare to get it deleted.

    Post because you have something to say, not because you feel like saying something.

    A right-handed shooter can shoot off of the left shoulder by leaving his hands where they are on the gun and simply moving the stock to the left shoulder. If one has any sighting system in the 1 o'clock position, the weapon is naturally prone to cant to the left and put that setup right over the bore.

    Seems like these would work best with magnified optics, jmo.
    1. I like to try out stuff for myself.
    2. If the optic needs dumped or is otherwise opaque (fogged up, broken, shot) these are fast and easy to transition to.
    3. I have had issues with the mini Aimpoint I prefer, lower 1/3 mounts, and BUIS where a portion of the large rear peep gets blocked by the bottom of the optic. Its a flat tire, barely. And while that wont stop COM hits inside 15 yards (where you could index shoot anyway) it will **** up precise shots.
    4. This would keep my FOV open and give the fastest and surest back ups all around for any concievable reason to use them

    My plan for now is to get in some practice with them, do transitions to them ( you guys DO practice going to BUIS outside of class right...........) and run them in the upcoming Jason Falla Pistol/Carbine course we have here in Pittsburgh in September and decide for myself if they fit my needs or not.

    I was just wondering if anyone else gave them a REAL try (not some "range report after a big 60 round day at the range) and had feedback on them.

    Have had mine since April and am enjoying them very much. I've since added the XS white strip front sight and its even easier and quicker to pick up. Other than price I can't see a whole lot of reasons why anyone WOULD NOT pair them up with a scope. The speed at which you can transition from close to far targets is awesome.

    I got the 0.08" xs white strip front sight as seen here:

    As far as switching shoulders its not that big of a deal. The cant is not that drastic.

    ShawnL ---> I hear you on the fogging. Where I live the relative humidity stays high all the time and it is an issue.

    Thanks for the reply and thoughts.

    is your chin in the way of the stock if you do that?

    look close, and you see 'arms' that wrap over the flattop, also has setscrews that clamp underneath the sights. Sounds weird, works well.

    I saw the little arms or fingers on the rail, was wondering what else was present that would make the mount rigid. i guess ill have to see one closer up to understand.

    I know some people just plain ol' prefer iron sights, but I must ask:

    Is the benefit of these over an offset RDS weight and price? Would there be a reason to use these instead of an offset H1 I am oblivious to?
