I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

I'm currently messing around with a new production Valtro PM5 with a totally mismatched front/rear sight set.
I'm trying to decide if it's even worth worrying about, or if it's just getting a T1 or Shield CQS on the rail, and left alone.
The valtro is obscure enough that I don't know if anyone has any thoughts on it, but if anyone does I'd be interested to hear them.

This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

When I got back to town, the Scalarworks mount was waiting. It is feather light and appears very well made. I tried it (not screwed, just placed it) on a M2 with ghost ring sights. It appears a RMR will cowitness with the aperture sights, but a T1 will be just a bit too high. I then placed it on the receiver of my M2 with the AO sights on the rib. Almost usable, and probably so in a pinch, but the mount is just a bit too high to fully use the AO vent rib sights. JLW, I believe the OEM rifle sights are even lower than the vent rib, so my guess is that the rifle sights will not co-witness, even with a RMR.
The mount ends up being very expensive, because I will now need to get a new RMR.

After being afforded the opportunity to shoot otherwise identical Remington 870s except for ghost ring or XS/Remington Low Profile Rifle sights I found, or rather the timer did, the XS sights faster out to 25 yards or so and both being equally fast out to 100 yards. And given that I have a lot more time using ghost ring sights I took note. Now for more factory options to feature them. I also finally was able to put more than a few rounds down range at a time using an H1 as the primary sight. I agree with what other have stated about it's speed compared to irons and at the distances discussed. I will say, though, that as with carbines it was much easier to get hits from unconventional shooting positions. Though I need a bit more practice because a 12 guage coming back in role over is a bit different than a carbine. *chuckle*
