I've only used them on long guns... like my Benelli Super Nova... I don't know if I'd like them on a pistol...
I've tried a pistol with them once and did not like them. Sight acquisition is more difficult.
I have them on my 6' Ruger GP 100 357, my old eyes like them just fine...............
I have a red dot on my NEO and it's fun. no challange at all hitting stuff

Works great for me on my Blackhawk. I switched from the factory due to "old eye" focus problems.

Im still trying to figure out why they cant just call them peep sights like they used to:-) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Peep sights aren't "tactical" they're old fashioned. Ghost Ring sights are uber tactical and cool. :smt082Quote:

This ONLY works if the eye is close enough to the aperture for it to "ghost out," so it obviously doesn't work this way on a pistol. I think it's a misnomer on pistol sights, but it works great on slug shotguns and practical (non-target) rifles.
A Ghost Ring isn't necessarily the same as a peep sight, by the way, which may have a small aperture for more precise aiming. Ghost rings are intended for fast sighting balanced with accurate shooting, rather than utmost precision.
They seem to work for some people. I once watched a revolver shooter clean a table of bowling pins VERY quickly using a 625 with peep sights.
