Different sights for AR pistol?

[shibbershabber]

Looking at building an AR pistol and am wondering about sights.

All of the folding sights I see on the market currently are basically A2 patterned sights... front post and rear peep...


Is there anything different? Looking for a notched rear sight... quicker acquisition that trying to line up a peep ... what Ive been used to with an AK pistol.

Anyone know of any rail mounted sights with a rear notch or something different?

For AR pistol, I like Troy's HK style on the front at $55 retail, they offer an M4 type too.

Brownell's offers a notch type AR swap out rear sight, for $30 - but requires an existing unit to use as the donor. Part # 100-003-250WB

That's actually pretty cool for an AR pistol....

Personally I would really go with a red dot on a AR pistol. Given the lack of a full stock on AR pistols and the inherent challenge of aiming a gun without a full stock, I think a red dot really excels in this application.

Just my opinion.

I got a set of utg sights that are easily acquired... But I also got a Sightmark Ultra Plus that is pretty decent. I can cowitness them too.

we'll see how the sightmark holds up. I've heard that people either love them or hate them.
