Using the 4 moa Fast Fire ll model on a .45 acp 1911 and one on a AR-15.  Both work well, and have been reliable, holding zero.  My only issue is having to remove the sight to change batteries.  Instead of leaving them in the "sleep" mode, I turn them off when not in use.

I have a FFII on my 22/45. Used it to shoot 3 rabbits once.
My only concern is that if the ambient light gets dim enough, mine goes to sleep.
The difference between people who do stuff and people who don't do stuff is that the people who do stuff do stuff.

I have one and haven't mounted it as of yet.  Probably will on one of my ARs.

kody,   Here is a pic of 2 carbines that I have fast fire sights on one is a Remington copy of a No. 1 saddle ring carbine in 30-30 the other is a H & R  M 48 with a 44 special barrel.  Both have the barrel milled with the dovetail and cross cut recess for the picatinny mount , very solid and in perfect posiition for quick shooting.  I really like fastfire sights, with both rifles I can shoot very near MOA groups that would be impossibe with iron sights with my old eyes.   ;)

Its the Burris mount that utilizes the rear sight dovetail.  A small, plate type mount that the optic attaches to.  Sorry I don't have a pic handy.  Burris makes a number of these mounts for popular models that require no gunsmithing / drilling.
