You're the second poster I've seen here putting those sights on a home defense shotgun. Any thoughts on durability? I'm thinking of throwing a set on my project 870 until I can afford to have the rib milled for a set of XS express sights.

Sorry delayed on this. For a $40 set of sights, I think they're just fine for a gun sitting in a safe. Mounting them to the rib makes them tall and I suspect they'd get banged around a lot for duty service. But in the safe? Not concerned.

I'll sight them in next week and can give more thoughts. But the sight picture is good and the general construction is solid. I do need to take them back off and add some Vibratite to the screws. But they clamp firmly, only trick is to do a criss-cross pattern when you tighten them down. I tried going side-to-side and ended up with a little bit of the sight offset. But otherwise, nice and firm. I appreciate that the rear sight adjusts with a slot head set of screws, it is both elevation and windage adjustable.

They seem okay:



@Flamingo fired these two standing at ~20y and the target was quartered away from him. First slug I sent was 1" low at 20. I didn't even bother adjusting them. 1" low with a 3/4oz foster slug works fine for minute of driveway.

Similarly, at 20 no problem keeping 9-pellet #1 buckshot in about a 10" circle.

Works for me. I’ll get a set at some point soon, since I almost have this thing ready for use even if it’s not 100% what I eventually want yet. Thanks for the info.

Williams Firesight Vent-Rib mount Ghost Rings

I have a set of Williams Firesight Ghost Rings that drop onto a factory rifle-sighted 870 barrel. I like them, have bought more sets of Williams since trying them out. However, I've been wanting to sell the 870 set since I divested from all things 870 in the dempanic.

Just mounted a Burris FF3 on my Mossberg.
Have not shot it yet with the dot, but the low mount is nice.

Yea, I wanted the 12” version, but they’re out of them, and I already have an 870 w/12” barrel…..
