    Troy di optic battle sight hands down IMO.



    The triangular corners make it so much easier to line up the front sight. A lot easier to line up a post with line cement ions than a circle. The lines also help stand out when your focusing on your front sight they stand out enough to help ping up proper sight alignment..

    I wouldn't think twice if I had to choose between these or any other sight.

      I really like the Troys. I have Knights, GGG, and Midwest Industry. The Troys have been the best of the bunch. I got rid of the MagPuls after one trip to the range.

          So which front sight do you pair that rear sight with? The HK style Troy's pair up a circle front with a circle rear which makes it very easy to quickly and accurately acquire your target.

              I use a F marked standard front sight.

                Troy for sure. Personally though I am not a fan of the di optic model and mine when down the road to be replaced with the standard model.

                    From what I've been seeing around the interwebs, this is going to be what I pick up. Glad to see it being recommended even more.

                        Matech. Robust, proven in combat, easy to use, and adjustable for various ranges unlike most other flip ups on the market.

                              I like the M4 style Troy as well.

                              DO NOT GET "HK style" BUIS. Troy, KAC, and others make these. The HK style diopter works by having the point of aim being in the center of two concentric circles. This works great with a diopter setup where both windage and elevation are set with the rear site. However, "HK style" sites are just M16 style and adjust elevation on the front post. This moves the POA out of the center of the circle and defeats the purpose.
