For AR**5 / M*6 type, optical sights provide superior performance
at longer ranges, but iron sights can be more effective for
close-range engagements. However, attaching an optical sight either
prevents the use of iron sights or results in a setup that produces
a front sight "shadow" on the optical image, and/or results in
problematic transitions from optical to backup iron sights. Not
anymore. This Rapid Transition Sights (RTS) provide the quickest
possible transition between longer- and closer-range target
acquisition, greatly increasing their efficiency and effectiveness
in battle and competition. These sights mount directly to a
Picatinny rail, offset from center by approximately *5ᄚ. This
unique offset position makes transitioning from optical to iron
sights simply a matter of quickly canting the weapon with your
wrists and locking on to the target
