There was a collection of broken ones that grew as the deployment went on sitting in the arms room. Many soldiers in my platoon would take them off entirely.... not a big sample size but just my exp.

    I had heard about the flipping up problem, and then I heard they released an updated version that remedied the problem. I have one on my Colt now and love it, mainly because of the unobtrusive size of the sight post itself. I have no idea what version I have LOL.....a gentleman hooked me up for $35. I looked into the KAC as it is a similar design, perhaps I'll pick one up eventually......and thanks for the insight good to hear reports from the field.

    Yeah. They're good for the price but not the best overall option out there.

    I still prefer fixed when it comes to irons but optics limit the use of them.

    Personally, I'd be interested to see how these sights held up to being knocked from the sides. I think the likely hood of your rifle falling 5 feet, flipping over, and landing squarely on the sights is far smaller then the sights taking a hit from the sides or front.

    Still, interesting test. I was not expecting the Magpuls to hold up so well.

    It's really hard to judge by the size, but that [critter] looks to be in the class of "Big Mother ****er" and perhaps the family of "Stay the **** Back"
