What makes Troy sights better?

[DocMedic]

Cy, your just not talking to enough people . I think you hear Troy more then others is because they did a big push in advertisement for the past couple years, also you can go to any Sports shop and get a set of Troy Sights. I have all types of BUIS, I don't fancy one over the other, I even have 1st and 2nd gen magpul's, And i'm able to hit a large target out to 200yards with them. It all depends on what you want to do with Iron sights, are you trying to win highpower? Troy wouldn't be even in my top 5. If you just want a BUIS or a sight you can hit Man sized targets at 200yards, then pretty much any American made BUIS will do.

I was referring to the MBUS PROs https://store.magpul.com/product/MAG275/44

Just to clarify... the MBUS PRO's are "very hard to use" and "work wonderfully"?

Ray> Have you ever tried the MBUS sights on a piston driven AR? I have heard that the heat generated by the piston can melt the front sight. Any truth to this?

Sorry, no personal experience with them on a piston system.

I use and recommend troys because they are durable and dependable. I've used and broken MagPul, Matech, and YHM on deployments and when training. I have not broken Troys yet (I'm sure it's inevitable) but they have held to the a use thus far and hold zero.

I run a MP gen 2 on my AA SBR. The FS sits on the top rail of the hand guard.

If you mounted them to a railed gas block, I'm sure you could produce issues. Perhaps, and I mean perhaps, if you had an extended length handguard that was well vented, and put your MBUS right on top of the gas release on the block for the piston system, there might be enough heat generated with huge mag dumps, but I would still estimate this to be a long shot. If you mount on your handguard and it isn't directly over the block, I cannot fathom a way you might melt them.

I do have one troy, and I like it alot. The bioptic system they have for the rear sight works well for me. But I bought it because it was a decent rear sight, that I could absolute co-witness on my aimpoint at a reasonable price. No affinity toward it over some others.

I've had flip ups and fixed sights. Both worked great for me but there's nothing special about them. I have the dioptic rear, and it's a bit quicker to aquire. They're quality sights, and I do like how fronts sights are a bit more traditional looking. Other ones look cheap and goofy but that's all subjective.

Perhaps the affiliation with known citizen killers?

As Randy reached to unlatch the shed door, Horiuchi fired one shot, without warning, and hit Randy in the upper right arm. Randy exclaimed, "Mama, I been shot," and the three ran towards the cabin door. Vicki had heard the shot and Randy cry out for help, so she ran to the cabin door with baby Elisheba in her arms and held it open so that they could make their way inside for cover. As Kevin Harris made his way through the doorway, Horiuchi placed the cross hairs of his rifle's scope on the edge of the door and fired a second shot. The bullet penetrated the door window, passed through Vicki Weaver's head and struck Kevin Harris in the left arm and chest. The bullet had miraculously missed baby Elisheba. Vicki Weaver fell to her knees, still holding her baby, and cried out in agony for approximately 30 seconds before slumping to the floor and succumbing to her fatal injury. Kevin Harris and Randy Weaver lay on the floor moaning from the massive wounds they had suffered.
As the echoes from the shots subsided, Randy and Sarah noticed that Vicki was not moving. Randy turned Vicki over and then screamed out in horror as he realized she was dead. Her skull had literally exploded and her face was unrecognizable. Randy and Sarah dragged Vicki's body away from the doorway and everyone sobbed uncontrollably.
The psychological warfare became even worse the following day. "Good morning Mrs. Weaver," Fred Lanceley, an FBI negotiator, called out. "We had pancakes this morning. And what did you have for breakfast? Why don't you send your children out for some pancakes, Mrs. Weaver?" Following the statements made by the negotiator, the whole family began sobbing loudly. The phone, which had been placed outside the cabin door, rang continuously every 15 minutes as the negotiator continued yelling through the bull horn, at times stating that if they failed to come out, they were all going to die

I would run no sites before I used troys
