Not necessarily this design but does anything that uses this type of concept exist?
Like, rather than air around the front post centering a notch, post, things either exist or don't, like it's yes or no in the construction of the sight picture? For example, in this there is no air gap at the bottom and no red visible than the sights are aligned left right.

There's no inherit reason that wouldn't work, but it seems both really fiddly to make and less intuitive than regular iron sights. But no, I've never seen or heard of anything that uses that sort of thing.

I get what he's going for, but it would be pretty difficult to use. OP, do you think there's any practical purpose in making an asymmetrical sight picture?

the biggest issue with this is you are focusing on the rear sight to complete the box. anyone who knows how to shoot focuses on the front. focusing on the rear or target is how you miss

sight picture isn't asymmetrical and the point would be to assure perfect alignment rather than just "eyeballing" it.
>>32052513
The idea is to not really have to focus on the sights at all, just make sure the "flags" aren't there, no gaps in the picture or no red. I'm sure a smarter person could execute the concept much better than what I drew in paint. The idea is that sight picture only comes together when things are aligned and is clearly flagged as off when they aren't. These are probably the closest to what I'm talking about but even then, not exactly.

I urge you to watch Forgotten Weapons 'Bren Ten' pistol video.

Things I think might mess up your design.
Perspective. Sights like this would only work when the eye is at one specific distance from both sights. people are different sizes and rest their eyes at different points messing up the perceived size of the two objects.
Focus. The human eye can only focus on one distance at a time. If you focused on the front sight the rear becomes blurry and vice versa so you won't actually be able to tell whether there is a gap or not.
Interesting concept but it doesn't work when applied to the real world.

>The idea is to not really have to focus on the sights at all,
at that point you dont bother with sights or looking at the gun at all. you base everything off stance, a repeated grip and well developed muscle memory from a fuckload of practice.

Your eyes are really good at judging symmetry.
As >>32052513 says, you focus on the front sight, and just get it to where the same amount of space is visible on either side of it. It doesn't sound precise, but it works beautifully.

Totally different
You'd be 30 degrees low.
