Yeah, it will never be as accurate as a longer radius, but it's easier to bring the bore in rough alignment with your eye. Good for a tac shotgun or pistol, I would think. Like Steve said, on the 10/22 you'd use it for plate matches. Definitely not a traditional sight, but I could see how it has its uses.

I have a couple of Steyr M9-A1's and I shoot very well with their sights. They are a little to large to EDC but they are great range guns. Since I live in a restrictive state that only allows 10 in the mag I can't justify carrying a gun that has a 15-17 round capacity in the handle and only having a 10 round mag with a huge spacer. I roll EDC with my Glock 27 or my Walther PPS. But the sights on the Steyr are better than either of the two EDC guns I commonly carry. The Steyr sight are similar.

I think it is a step backward. XS sight is a much better system IMO. All this does is add more weight and limit the sight radius. I think it is a step backward.
