    Looks great, what did you paint it with?

    I like the fixed DD stuff. Very light and super simple to use. I don't run a magnifier anymore so I don't have much use for a folding sight.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    Anybody have any experience with the PADS rear sight?

    (Example on this website: http://www.botachtactical.com/maba60si.html )

    I like the GG&G MAD or the KAC 600M.

    Looks like Ares Armor has the PADS/Matech sights at a bargain price:

    I ordered a couple.

    The matech's are fine, only thing that bothers me about them is when the elevation knob gets moved by your gear.

    I see what you mean. Still, if it is only being used for a backup sight, you would just have to train yourself to make sure the elevation is on the right setting as soon as you take your broken optic off. I don't think you would choose the Matech sight for co-witnessing.

    For $45.00 it's hard to not at least try it out. I was all set to order the Troy sight, but reading several complaints in this very thread about the apertures sort of finding their way to half-cock regularly it makes me think that would be more annoying than having to verify your elevation.

    YMMV.

    Another one I'm investigating:

    http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...rchResult.html

    Trouble is that one doesn't seem to be in stock at the outlets I've been checking.

    Anybody want to say what's good or bad about it?

    I also like the LMT fixed rear sight; I may put one one my LMT shorty someday.
    I'm running the LMT fixed rear as well on my HD rifle. Just ordered a Troy set for a new build I'm doing.
