I mentioned in an earlier article that Knight's Armament Company (KAC)had released a set of offset Back Up Iron Sights (BUIS), and I've gotten some email giving me a reminder that people are interested in seeing them ASAP. With that in mind, here you go. The offset iron sights are a version of the KAC micro sights which we have played around with in the past. We have not had a chance to actually do a hands on review of these, but they are an item that I've never heard anything bad about. The idea of offset sights has been around for a long time, and most guys out shooting 3 gun matches are already familiar with them. If you are using a scope, or high mounted optic, you are not able to use your iron sights at the same time. Offset sights are used so the shooter can cant the weapon a little, and have immediate access. This is much quicker than pulling off an optic with your favorite QD system.
We hope to be able to get these sights, as well as the earlier posted KAC T-1 high mount to review down the road. For now, check out the pictures from SHOT Show, its as good as we've got right now.
