While contemplating sights to buy for my AR, this combination of sights seemed like a great one to me. While I initially had the full front and rear Troy folding battle sights set in mind, I was issued store credit for an order, but I don't really have anything else I need to purchase from that store.
I already have a rear troy sight I got for a great deal on the EE, which left me thinking on what to do with the front sight. I like the rear due to the included large aperture which the KAC does not include.
What intrigues me about the KAC micro front sight is the fact that it:
1) has tool-less elevation adjustment while also not being in a place easy to inadvertently change.
and most importantly,
2) From what I understand, the sight folds down if I were to accidentally hit it or drop it from the front.
As I imagine the front to be more likely to hit pavement or an obstacle than the rear, I feel this requirement is only needed for the front sight. The fact that I would have to hold down a button on the troy seems to me a liability as it would be exposed to the full brunt of the impact force and thus break much more easily.
Thus, here are my questions:
Does anybody have any experience with this combination of sights? I tried searching, but only found a thread concerning the opposite case, a KAC rear with a Troy front.
Would the sights be able to line up and be work well in the first place?
Are there any reasons that this mix up would not be a good idea? Cost is not a factor since I have to use up my store credit anyways.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :help:
