Building guns I have to cater for a number of shooters and budgets. I use both Midwest Industries and Troy folding sights. Both provide good sight picture but I prefer the hooded front sight as this seems to more naturally align especially at short ranges such as the shoot house. The Troy is certainly a superbly made unit.
Diverting to the reason for this post, I have recently been playing with the diamond head sights. These are very well made, similar to Troy in quality, but have a diffent aperture type, being a square set up onto its corner. Initially not intuative, this seems to work well and does not cause the eye disruption when shooting at a wide variety of target shapes, especially at speed.
I would urge anyone seriously examining the use of iron sights to look at this concept and use this forum to comment upon what they find.
