The firearm sight of  claim 1 , wherein the post is rotatably coupled to the base, wherein the post rotates between a deployed position and an undeployed position, wherein the post further comprises an indent and a ridge, wherein the base further comprises a plunger biased by a spring, wherein the plunger couples to the indent while in the deployed position, and wherein the plunger couples to the ridge while in the undeployed position. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm sight of  claim 1 , wherein the aperture of the post comprises a solid ring having an outer aperture diameter, and wherein the outer aperture diameter is greater than a width of the peep so that the outer aperture diameter extends beyond the width of the peep when the first peep hole or the second peep hole are aligned with the aperture of the post. 
     
     
         7 . The firearm sight of  claim 1 , wherein the post is laterally adjustable relative to the base in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base. 
     
     
         8 . The firearm sight of  claim 1 , wherein the first peep hole comprises a first inner diameter that is less than a second inner diameter of the second peep hole, the second inner diameter being less than an aperture inner diameter of the aperture of the post. 
     
     
         9 . The firearm sight of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of peep holes comprises three or more peep holes. 
     
     
         10 . A firearm sight comprising:
 a base;   a post coupled to the base at a first end, the post including a protrusion at a second end opposite the first end; and   a wheel mechanism configured to adjust a height of the protrusion, the wheel mechanism comprising:
 a dial; 
 a plurality of indents disposed on the dial; 
 a plunger configured to selectively couple with two or more indents of the plurality of indents; and 
 a spring coupled to the post, the spring configured to apply a biasing force to the plunger in a direction of the dial. 
   
     
     
         11 . The firearm sight of  claim 10 , wherein the protrusion comprises a screw portion configured to be actuated in a vertical direction by rotating the dial. 
     
     
         12 . The firearm sight of  claim 11 , wherein rotating the dial causes the plunger to transition from an initial set position to a final set position, the final set position corresponding to a desired height of the protrusion. 
     
     
         13 . The firearm sight of  claim 10 , wherein the post is rotatably coupled to the base, and wherein the post rotates between a deployed position and an undeployed position. 
     
     
         14 . The firearm sight of  claim 13 , wherein the post further comprises a deployment indent and a ridge, wherein the base further comprises a deployment plunger biased by a deployment spring, wherein the deployment plunger couples to the deployment indent while in the deployed position, and wherein the deployment plunger couples to the ridge while in the undeployed position. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm sight of  claim 11 , wherein the protrusion maintains a rotational position while the screw portion is being actuated by the dial. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm sight of  claim 11 , wherein the screw portion comprises a slot with a pin therethrough, the pin being statically coupled to the post. 
     
     
         17 . The firearm sight of  claim 16 , wherein the screw portion may be actuated to a maximum height where the pin is at a bottom of the slot, and wherein the screw portion may be actuated to a minimum height where the pin is at a top of the slot. 
     
     
         18 . A set of firearm sights comprising:
