XS Sights vs Ghost Rings

[Boxer]

Anybody try Ghost rings on a handgun?

I have XS Big Dots and Trijicon sights. XS are fine on my 1911 but not so good on my HK. So I was thinking about getting Ghost Ring sights. There are a few other sights I have looked at see the links below. Your comments and experince are welcome. My eyes are crapping out at 51 and need all the help I can get.

The only ones I've even considered are these from JP:

I have XS sights (std dot) on my XD45.

I like them they have increased my target acquisition speed. I just 'dot' the 'i'

I like the JP Ghost ring.

Meh, I've never been a fan of ghost rings on anything other than shotguns. Have you checked out the Heinie Straight 8's, or the 10-8 Performance sights?

I love XS sights.* I have them on two glocks, one AK, and one AR.* I find depending on the lighting ghost rings can be hard to find quickly.

Ghost rings on shotguns only, I agree. They are huge!

Thanks.

Heinie too small for my eyes but thanks.

I will look for a link to the 10-8 Performance and the JP sights.

The Ghost ring on the post I have above look pretty small. Did you look at the site. Not too keen on the low light issue and I am concerned about seeing the target between the front sight and the ring? The JP seem to avoid this potential problem.

Thanks for you imput.

It's funny that this came up today.
Today was Day 1 of my EAI GS sights review, off of a SIG p228.
It takes time to write a good review, so I won't put it up just yet.. in about a day or two.

Ghost rings don't work on handguns unless your eye is only a few inches (< 4") away from the rear sight.

I've tried the Big Dots, they didn't work for me. I know Yeager has posted that video where he's shooting them at distance. They're just not for me.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look.
