    Fast forward a few months. I purchased a used set of knights armament offset flip up sites. They are great! I prefer them to the surefire set because I do not use them much and they fold so flat when not in use, that they virtually disappear.
    Of course like surefire, these are not cheap.

    Nothing good ever is cheap. I haven't known Knight to do anything that wasn't awesome though. I"ll check them out thanks.

    These DD's RTS don't require battery's and everyone and their mother is familiar with how to adjust these to zero. Like someone else mentioned, there super rugged. I mean I will take these to combat and I have no doubt they will take the abuse.

    So to answer the original poster, I have them, I use them and I love them. Both at work and at home, Im sure I will buy some more sets and will shoot them at the next few course I go to also to train on them some more. I highly suggest you save a few hundred bucks and try these out.
    I don't know what your occupation is in the military but do you think they would ever get used in the heat of the moment? I know from my experience that there is way too much commotion going on to use iron sites during battle...there is a point when too much flash is too much flash...IMO

    Once properly trained for, yeah, they work. Especially when the other option is nothing at all.

    Perhaps as a backup but I can't see someone attempting to use them as an alternative for close quarter engagements when their weapon is set with a magnifying sights. For me, point shooting over the barrel is much faster and as effective than canting to a set of iron sights...idk maybe i'm just full of shit

    I prefer the opposite, but either can be effective, depending on the precision criteria. I personally prefer irons in their normal position, but if I have to use a magnified optic that doesn't work in a specific environment, I'd rather have an aiming system than not.

    I would encourage you to try it out for a while before making up your mind.

    I currently use a set of back-up iron sights on the weapon systerms I have that allow it. There is no arguing their use in an emergency. It's just hard for me to see why someone would choose a set of canted iron sights over a micro-aimpoint....

    Driving in light drizzle or mist, I noticed what happens to my windshield. I would imagine the same would happen to optics.

    Rear offset sights as simple as the DD A1.5 or LaRue BUIS would be perfection.

    A while back there was a thread concerning Noveske offsets specifically for troy alpha rails any feed back from the prototypes that went out?
