    The issue I had real problem with was weak aperture detent on rear sight. The aperture selector is kept in position by a pin (I assume, spring-loaded). I think the spring should be stronger, as my aperture selector got knocked out of position during weapons manipulations such as transitions etc. Bringing the weapon up and seeing the rear sight in position between large and small apertures is not a good thing. I did want to send my sight to Troy, but, after examining several rear Troy sights, I didn't find any difference in how much effort it took to move the aperture out of positions.

    I have a Troy battle sight on my Sabre and thats all I use. I will eventually get some type of optic but cant really afford it right now. I'm happy with just using the irons though.

    I shot today using a Magpul rear back up sight. It was surprisingly easy to adjust and a very nice sight. It's still on my carbine and I may just leave it there.

    If you don't care about folding and are on a budget, the YHM is reasonably priced and appears sturdy.

    I don't use one because I like my rear sight to have elevation adjustment. (I hate fiddling with the front sight)

    (putting on my nomex gear) I've got a cheap chinese knockoff of the LMT fixed on my "fun gun". It has worked flawlessly and cost $30. Its a UTG. Flame away but it works great.

    Would I step up and pay for a LMT if I was going into battle with it? Probably. But I'm not. I'm just a normal civilian working on my gun handling skills and marksmanship while having some fun.

    My S&W M&P15A came with a Troy rear sight. I like it very much and just used that until I was curious and put a scope on my carbine. Now I am waiting for an EOTech to show up. I would have no problem using the BUIS as a main sight though, if I ever want to keep it simple.

    One other thing. I have an Arms 40L on my scoped AR. The down side to that sight as a primary is that when it comes up, its got the small aperture set. If you flip the small aperture down to access the large aperture, the sight won't fold.
