    Shotgun sight recommendations

    I was recently fortunate enough to get my hands on a Kel-tec KSG. It's a great shotgun, but it comes stock with a flat top picatinny rail and no sights. I put a set of MagPul BUIS on it and they work fine at the range, but they aren't quite right. I would like recommendations for either fast aquisition iron sights or a good holographic/dot that can take the recoil of repeated 12 guage abuse. I know low end holographics won't take the abuse. I'm willing to pay $400-500, but would prefer not to spend as much if possible.

    I just don't like rifle style sights on a shotgun meant for closer quarter home defense, probably in the dead of night. Thanks for the recommendations.

    Get a Trijicon RMR, low profile and small and will takes all the abuse you can give them.

    They make them with big dot sizes dots like 7 or 9 MOA which would be perfect for short range shotgun use.

              leapers red green dot sight It's so cheap you seriously could trash it and get a new one x 10 before you pay for an expensive one.

                Aimpoint, RMR, or TRS25 (if you want a value option).
