Fast but rough

Installed this on my 1895GBL - easy install (only lost one screw - a new record for me!), though there were no instructions in the package. Luckily, XS has install instruction videos on their website. Got to the range a couple days later, got the rifle "zero'd" within 12 rounds. These sights are fast, rugged, and look good on the Guide Gun. The down side is there are two apertures provided - I'll call them Huge and YUGER. Neither aperture really provides a useable "peep" rear sight - these really are Ghost Rings. The upside to that is they're fast - snap shooting out to 100 yards on IDPA profile steel was an easy do. But, I wouldn't want to use these for hunting - the aiming is just too rough to realistically place a well aimed shot. Best 3-shot 25 yard groups I or my buddy could manage, prone and supported on shooting bags, was about 2" - or Minute of Buffalo...
