BUIS - Magpul, or Troy?

[IndispensableDestiny]

Troy. Tritium or not is up to you. I have both.

Troy folding di-optic battle sight. Its high quality & will last.

The Magpuls do better on drop tests. Beyond using tritium (Which is worthless IMO on a fighting carbine) I have never seen any benefit to Troys or any aluminum sight unless you run one off a gas block (Where Polymer Sights don't do well)

I know it wasn't one of the choices listed, but I am a big fan of the Daniel Defense fixed sights. They are always ready if you have the proper co-witness so you get used to using them even with your optic on.

They are nice sights but the rears cant be used in conjunction with a 1-4x or 1-6x Optic. Use of those are more for non magnified optic setups.

I agree man...If I am using a non-magnified optic then I'm using a DD Fixed rear with a lower 1/3rd co-witness. If I want to transition to my irons then I just drop my cheek weld slightly. Non need to take my eyes off the target and take the extra time to flip up a BUIS.

Like Chad said, magnified optics don't work well with fixed rear sights.

Not sure if these are the same sights, but there was a thread in December about the PSA sights not fitting snuggly on rails. Mixed reviews on whether they fit properly or not.

I have two sets of Troy on my rifles and I wouldn't use anything else.

I'm a Troy fan. Nothing wrong with the MBUS, but I prefer the Troy.

Troy. SCREW plastic sights.

Yep, I use all magpul 'plastic' sights now. The only exception is one Troy folding front (got it before they went full retard) on my 15 inch rail bec my surefire break cooks it.

Im a fan of the magpuls, affordable, durable and they work.

FWIW, I just bought a set of Magpul's "Pro" back-up sights and I like them a lot. They're made of steel, but are very streamlined and possibly lighter than the Troy sights. The only feature Troy sights have that these do not is a locking upright position.

 

[OH IT'S KINO]

I have MBUS on all my rifles except for one, which wears the MBUS Pro sights. The standard MBUS sights do just fine for backup sights, especially for the money. They're nice and do their job and are more sturdy than even iron sights - proved through several durability tests. However, I have to admit that the MBUS Pro sights are EXTREMELY nice, and are my favorite BUIS on the market right now. They just seem nicer, slimmer, and more refined than any other iron sights I've seen out there... including the Troy sights and LWRC Skirmish sights (which I like). The only possible exception would be the KAC iron sights, but I don't have any first hand experience with them.

TROY! Skip the thick plastic. I ditched all my Magpul sights for KAC and MaTech and haven't looked back.
