So I am looking to get a set of offset iron sights for my AR. I am debating on whether I want back up style flip ups, or a fixed style like the Surefire Rapid Transition.
My LPVO is using a fixed mount. I don't want to use a QD mount. I plan to practice with my irons regularly, and I don't want to be taking the LPVO on and off and having to confirm zero regularly. I know there is supposed to be zero shift, but I don't trust it.
I want something that does not take batteries, and using irons helps me maintain my fundamentals. I also want it for quick transitions not just in the event my optic does down. I also like that the surefire set has the elevation knob and dual sized Aperture . I'm just worried it will be big and clunky and in the way. With folding sights I could fold them for storage, or as needed during practice. but just extend them and leave them up if I needed to use the rifle.
Is anyone running offset irons regularly or in competition? What is you experience with offset irons? is there anything I am failing to account for considering I have never used this type of setup?
