When choosing iron sights other than Magpul
The products we get asked about the most when discussing various AR15 battle sights are almost always either Magpul Flip up sights or Troy Industries. One thing you should notice when shopping for accessories is noticing what AR15 Carbines are being sold with certain packages, and the reason they do is because that’s how people usually like them. There are plenty of upper receivers that we sell that come with the iron sights on them and Troy battle sights are one of them. I have a couple LWRCI Carbines that have the LWRC Logo on the sights but they are all made by Troy Industries. Recently I attended a low light suppressed shoot and got to test out various night sighting systems, Trijicon and Surefire products were all over the range, but there were trade offs with every product.
The night sights of the past are now becoming even more out dated because they were mostly meant for handguns. Now many AR15 sighting systems have certain pattern Troy Sights
sights built into the rear sight that can make identifying your sight picture. It’s amazing how color and brightness can affect whether or not you can even get a shot off. There are reasons why most military and Law Enforcement have moved towards green lasers and green reticles and it’s not a bad idea to pick up Troy fixed or fold down sights for their Carbines. Front sight night sights are very common but that doesn’t always help out and sometimes some foresight into dropping the cash for a rear sight is a good way to go.
