SeeAll Open Sight, anyone use one?

Update:

@sparkyv was kind enough to trade me for his first gen SeeAll Open Sight.

I received it early last week. My intent was to mount it at 45 degree on the hand-guard of my 300 BO pistol. In my first attempt I put a piece of rail directly on the hand-guard at 45 degree angle. But that was too low to get a proper sight picture and also cause the sight to impinged slightly on the edge of the integral top rail. On to plan B. Order a 5 slot 45 degree offset rail section. It bolted onto the KeyMod slots on the side row of the hand-guard and presents a section of rail at 45 degree but offset higher off the hand-guard than a piece of rail that mounts direct to the hand-guard. I think this is going to do what I want.

You can see the sight mounted at the muzzle end of the hand-guard. Good position as it does not interfere with my hand and puts the sight about as far from my face as it would be if mounted on the top of a handgun.

Sort of a picture of the sight picture. Camera focused on the sight body rather than the sight picture. To my eye the triangle is crisply in focus. It is fairly intuit to quick rotate the gun 45 degrees and pick up the sight picture. I have not shot it yet but I think this is going to work for what I want. My plan is to sight this in at about 25-30 feet. That is the range where the Vortex Spitfire 3X prism starts to loose focus not to mention at that close of range the scope is shooting about 2.5 inches low. Hopefully next weekend I will get it sighted in and give it a try. Would be nice if I can find some armadillos to really try it out on too.
 
I have one. Tried it on an AR and on a pistol. The idea of it is attractive. The use of it: not nearly as quick as iron sights or red dots. It sits on the shelf now.

My result might be the same but so far it does not feel that much slower than transitioning to offset BUIS but I won't know for sure until I have it sighted in and give it a try. It does not have to be faster than iron sights for my use but if it's comparable it's a win just do to the fact that its far less of a snag risk than many offset BUIS but that will also take validating in the woods.
