Aimpoint Acro P-1

I’ll admit to liking the challenge of shooting with iron sights, but I’m hardheaded. Nothing’s more satisfying knowing you’ve lined up your front and rear sights, creating perfect sight alignment, transition to proper sight picture, pressing the trigger just so, and striking your target.

With the advent of red dot sights, their instantaneous target acquisition makes things a whole lot easier.
