Has anyone here shot a pistol with ghost ring sights on it?

Ghost rings work great on rifles because your eye is right behind the sight and you don't really consciously have to align the rear sight and the front sight. You simply look through the rear sight for the front sight. On a pistol Ghostring sights still need to be alinged like standard sights so their not faster and they obscure more of the target. Not a good idea. I tried them for a while.

The problem with short sight radius is accuracy diminishes.

That's the conventional wisdom, and I doubt the Caracal folks are ignorant of it. Rather, they found that a short enough sight radius resulted in a much sharper sight picture, because both the front and rear sights could stay in focus at the same time.

I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it, but it could work.
