These days, iron sights are mostly associated with "classic" type of shooting styles, but one would be mistaken to think that the servicemember of yester-year didn't know how to fight with them.
We delve into how one could use these "classic" military arms in a short-range situation.

I think that’s what Josh was trying to say but without saying it. Natural point of aim has been deprecated in formal training- “use your damn sights, that’s what they’re there for!” IMO it’s useful to find out what your natural point of aim is with any firearm you have. I don’t want to sound like I’m making excuses but if push comes to shove in a very high stress situation it could save your life.

I learned the "look over the sights like a shotgun", using the tips of the front sight protector wings and the wings on the rear carrying handle, out to at least 25m - that's how I shot my annual pro-mask firings, vice the "cock the rifle over 45°" (which I never could get to line up without breaking seal on the old M17). A similar technique works with most shoulder fired small arms - that's how I like to run an SMG at 25 meters and under - just "shoot it like a shotgun". It ain't fast, but I can generally achieve "Minute of Ribcage" easily. With my RDS rifles, they're all mounted at absolute co-witness, and I use a fixed BUIS front with a flip down rear. And that's because I've found that even with the RDS turned off, I can use the tube itself as a ginormous ghost ring, with the front sight. That gives instantaneous transition to BUIS at the ranges where you have zero time to adjust stuff. When you get 2 seconds, you can flip up the rear BUIS and be no worse off than a pre-RDS AR.

@1111Tactical 3 ай бұрын

Iron sights are not that bad for close range at all if you do two things: 1. Keep both eyes open, yeah way better depth perception obviously, You get way better situational awareness, The binocular effect of having the iron sight in front of one eye but not the other effectively makes the iron sight translucent (keep both eyes open and put one hand really close in front of your eye and see what I mean) 2. Ignore what Boomer firearms instructors tell you is a hard and fast rule, and start training with Target focus on your eyes, You can still be very accurate without keeping your focus on the front sight, at least with more practice Focusing on your front sight is going to kill your situational awareness and reaction time, It's the default way we use a Red Dot sight, but you can get used to effectively doing it with irons

@joeypooka 3 ай бұрын

As I've gotten older I've gained more of an appreciation for 20th century firearms and among those things is an appreciation for good iron sights. In an era where we slap big LPVOs and as many accessories as we possibly can on our ARs, we've totally taken for granted just how slick and handy those early carry handle AR carbines actually are. Also I wear glasses and red dots and especially holographic sights are totally useless when I look through them without glasses but irons are totally fine, so good irons is something I have to actually consider for defensive guns in case I'm without my glasses for some reason lol

During CQB training while I was an 11B we always trained to look over the top of the optic and use the FSP as our reference point as we had ACOGs on our M4s. When youre no more than 10 yards away from your opponent as long as the FSP was somewhere on the targets torso, you were guaranteed to hit. One thing we would run into was holding at the bottom of the sternum would generally result in a head/neck shot in practice, and at that range thats a guaranteed way to drop anyone standing in front of you instantly.

I was taught option 2 for the M16 as a private and told to leave the iron sight on the 300m aperture incase I need to shoot outside of the structure.

This really helped me understand why I hate AR-15 sights and how to use them better. I have always found HK & AK sights easier & quicker to lineup. Also I use a magpul flip up front sight co-witnessed with my dot. I don't deploy the rear sight for CQB drills, I just use the tube of my dot as the rear sight and as long as I have the front post centered in it I know I'm good.

Interesting. I love A2 and HK sights and don't much care for AK sights. I also don't like Magpul front sights because they feel too narrow for me. I like FAB's front sight, but hate their rear, so I run the FAB front and Magpul rear on 2 of my ARs (the other 3 are running Troy sights, but they're metal and the first 2 are lightweight builds so they get the polymer BUIS). All that to say, our different experiences just go to prove you have to find what works for you through practice. What works for some may not work for others, so get your range time in and find what works for you.
