Hi,
I'm looking at picking up a SeeAll open sight and wanted some feedback before I go through with it.

#1 Rated Tritium Night Sight for Rifle or Rail | Free Shipping!

NO BATTERIES! NO PARALLAX ERROR! MADE IN THE USA! This Tritium sight is the result of years of R&D and extreme testing. Unlike other manufacturers,

I see there was a review a few years ago (https://carolinafirearmsforum.com/index.php?threads/seeall-open-sights-mk2-a-review.25705/) and wanted to know if anyone had anything else to add.

The SeeAll checks a few boxes on what I'm looking for: rail mount, no battery, low light capable, and cost.
I was wondering if there are any other similar sights that would be worth looking into. Would AR style irons sights with tritium be a better option?

My former fun merchant swore by them. Had them on several carbines and rifles. I didn't shoot one but I did dry try one in his backyard, it seemed pretty good but slower to acquire than a red dot, although familiarity would likely change that.

I'm a sucker for no battery optics. I still use an Armson OEG on my 9mm rifle, but I never could get used to the Seeall. To me, it's a fancy open sight that really didn't add anything to the rifles I tried it on. I found it difficult to use the version I had with the triangle to pick up targets very quickly or make shots with much precision, and long range shots were pretty much out of the question.
I guess it depends what you're going to put it on. I think it would work best an a shotgun, PCC or maybe pistol, but not on a serious use rifle.

Completely agree. Had one on an AR for 3 or 4 years. Finally pulled it last year, and installed an eotech. I could use it, but it took a lot of practice time, no one else could shoot my AR, and acquisition was SLOOOOOOOOOW!

It's sitting in my parts bin. I might figure out something to use it for. Maybe I'll put it back on the AR, on an offset rail at 45 degrees... BUIS replacement.

Just my opinion, but I prefer traditional iron sights over something that blocks some of my field of view. Add the tritium insert if that makes you feel more confident.
 
I think the Armson OEG was what I was looking for, but only found out about it after I ordered lol. The tritium SeeAll was about $100 shipped after the discount code, which is about the same I was finding for good fixed irons (and then adding tritium insets for more).
My plan, if I like the SeeAll, is to put it on a bedside PCC. The longest hallway is 30', so I just wanted some kind of sights. I would be more happy if someone made pistol style night sights for a rail at ~$100.
 
Have any of the astigmatics among us tried these out? Can you see this sight or is it a mess like a red dot?
 
I installed and zeroed these on customers' guns when they first came out (and the customer refused to try something more conventional). The SeeAll is like a weird mix of an OEG, a Nydar, and a Galilean sight. The bottom half of the sight picture is occluded by "green."

It definitely works, but it's not a "heads-up" battery-free sight like the dual-illum RMRs or Meprolights. It's almost as reliant on head position as a standard iron sight set-up, and it occludes the bottom half of the sight picture like old school post-and-notch irons.

As an astigmatic, any sort of occlusion is a dealbreaker for anything that's not a range-toy. With contacts in, they work fine. I can focus on the target and everything lines up the way it's supposed to. Uncorrected, my eyes don't look to the same "spot" when I focus on a point in the distance, so the super-imposed reticle does not line up in the correct point on the target. It doesn't make much distance to induce that error... I'm off by several inches at 10 yards and in the D-zone on a USPSA target at 25.

Since I don't sleep with contacts in and don't always have them on at home, anything long gun that's kept around for any sort of "use" has ghost ring and post irons (or a high quality 2MOA dot, which minimizes smearing) in conjunction with a WML. Either option keeps my dominant eye, well, "dominant" for the purposes of seeing the target through the sight.
