firesights i like because theyre damn bright and metal.
i'd like to be able to shoot 100 yards with iron sights and am planning to do some appleseed stuff next time they come around. this makes me sway towards tech sights since i doubt ill be shooting in such low light i cant see the sights at all or i can add some neon paint. but they are plastic after all, how durable are these things? if it slips off a table and falls on the sight will they snap?

For my tech sight, I got a fiber optic AR front sight post. You have to cut the screw down to fit, and super glue the base so that it can't rotate, but it is about as good as it gets without being self illuminated. The front sight isn't plastic. It is metal. I don't recall which parts are plastic, but it didn't feel cheap or fragile. Maybe there were old versions that were. I got mine earlier this year.
