Williams Sight

[blake.l]

I was thinking of getting either the Williams blade sight or the diopter/peep sight. I was wondering if any you guys used either one and what are you're opinions on which is the better setup and why?

When I bought my 2300kt I got it with the Williams peep.  I should have got the notched one for a pistol.  They are very nice sights though.

I have had both type Williams sights, and they both worked equally well. I think the peep worked better at a distance though, focusing your eye on the target. Unfortunately my eyes haven't held up as well as those sights did, so I use a scope on most of my guns now.

Depends on how you are going to use the gun.  If pistol, blade.  If rifle/carbine, peep.
When used as a rifle your eye is so close to the sight that the notch in the blade is viewed too wide to get a good sight line.

This probably isn't the type of Williams sight you were thinking about.  This is the WGRS54 with a Fire Sight blade.  It's placed at the front of the steel breech to get a good sight line.  Sight came from Brownells.

I use the Williams peep on my 2289 all the time.  With the stock it works great, with pistol grips not so great.

Looks like the blade sight it is...

They make different size inserts for the peep site. You would need a bigger hole for a pistol at arms length.

You can remove any peep insert. This leaves a "ghost sight" that can be used on a pistol length barrel to good effect.
