    I like all of the iron sights I've tried. On a budget the MBUS are great. I prefer the LMT folders to them, and my favorite are the KAC Micro. The KAC 200-600m Micro has a lot of utility for a small, lightweight solution. I am not a fan of fixed rear sights, but if I was building a gun without an optic I'd probably opt for the DD.

    You'll probably be OK with anything that wasn't made in China, though, based on the list of recommendations you've received.

    One more opinion to throw out there- I like the MBUS sight picture better than the Troy. It's definitely worth going to a local gun shop and trying a couple of rifles that have each type of sight.

    I've had several ARMS 40's,a couple of Matech's,several different designs from YHM,a bunch of chopped carry handles,and an MI. I'd have to say my favorite is the ARMS 40 with the Matech coming in secound. I've never considered a plastic site because,well,its plastic.I wouldn't think they would have the robustness of a metal site. As for robust the chopped carry handle would have to be the winner.

    Stickman,
    How did you manage to bust two Troy real folders? I assume they were flipped up and dropped on the ground? Do you remember if there was an optic on the weapon either time? I would think that if one had any type of optic on the gun, it would take the hit rather than your BUIS. Thats pretty amazing stuff.

    I'm curious about this as well. It looks like there's a roll pin that pins the tilting sight body to the pivot shaft. Did the roll pin snap when the sight body was impacted? Was it fixable with a replacement roll pin?

    Exactly. I've owned all three. You can't do any better.
