rock solid
Have bought and used multiples of this sight with and without the tritium post. Mounts super easy, doesn't have a big o' screw or nut to snag stuff. Beautiful lines, the hood centers in apertures with ease. some sights look like they can tear off of a rail not this one, it has full clamping lips on both sides. Need a sight that is always ready with no exception look no further.
Troy Fixed Battle Sight
Just placed it on a same plane build. The sight itself fit perfectly. Also, the sight acquisition was quick. If I ever do another same plane build, I will purchase this Troy sight. Bye the way, I also purchased the Troy Fixed Rear Battle Sight to go along. I love it. The later will be purchased for future build.
Excellent sight
When installing sights do not take the cheap route as it may be the last thing you look at. The Troy fixed front and rear set are quality made, adjust with precision and are very easy to get sight acquisition. I prefer the fixed variety over pop up's with red dot sights or just the iron sights alone, the Troy has stood up to abuse on one of my rifles better than anything tried before. I give the Troy a five star rating.
Solid, no large side screws
I am very pleased with the product. Of all fixed front sights that go on rail that I searched for, this was the only one I found with low profile screws on the sides (in fact, it's not just low profile, in this case it's recessed). There are other fixed front sights out there to attach on rail, most cheaper than this one, but in general those have a large screw on the side. I definitely did not want that. I just wanted to point out a couple of things to buyers: 1. Even before you tighten the screw, the sight goes in tight on the picatinny rail. I applied some oil on the rail, on both sides, to keep the sight from scratching it on the way to its resting place. It did not scratch fortunately, in my case at least. 2. I installed this sight on an ADCOR. The ADCORs have an obstruction at the front-end of the rail, so this sight had to come to its resting place from the back of the rail. In the case of my ADCOR that meant sliding the sight in from the bolt release latch because the ADCORs have a continuous rail. It worked fine, but again, apply oil on both sides of the rail, all the way, to decrease the chances of scratching it. Remember, once you put the screw in but before you tighten it, to push the sight forward such that the screw touches the picatinny rail.
NICE!!!!
Absolutely great! I have this mounted on my Daniel Defense Lite railed 9mm AR, works great and very sturdy and great target acquisition. The HK style adds some class as well. Highly recommend it.
Meh
I was building a 10.5" 9mm for my daughter, DD was on backorder at the time, so I ordered this one. I don't care for it. The ears are too tall for the typical front sight tool (A2 front/A1 rear) to reach the detent, I had to order another. I mean, this one works, and it's a quality part, but next time I'll just wait for DD.
Buyer beware!
Beware that this is a solid piece of metal, NOT two pieces that would give even tension distribution on your rail! Not sure why anyone would manufacture something like this? It is well made, but will eventually fail (metal break) I have been a gunsmith for over 45 years and have seen alot of reputable companies have "fails", and this is one for them.
