Troy and Yankee Hill Machine are two of the best iron sights on the market. The prices reflect their quality though. But I am willing to pay for good sights. Because you get good sights. They are of top quality materials and very durable. You cannot go wrong with either one. I recently just purchased from Yankee Hill, but i believe that both companies have great reputations and great products. And their reviews coincide with what i believe.

Troy seems to be very popular, but budget and looks and preferrence should be addressed

YHM or Troy if you are running them as primary sights. If you want backups to a quality optic, magpul are great. Don't know a lot about Midwest, but they have a good reputation. If you see Noveske brand flip-ups, they are also great. Troy manufactures them for Noveske.

Another +1 for Troy Battle Sights.

Very strong, well built, well designed, flip up when needed, down when not needed.

I have a Troy rear sight on mine and it is great, very sturdy.

Daniel Defense FIXED A1.5 Rear Sight..../thread

If money is no object, I would perfer to get the Troy Diamond rear sight. Runs about $140 I think.

I have a Troy M4 front with a GG&G rear, both folding. The Troys are solid, but I know it's anal, but they "smoothness" when you flip them up, isn't very smooth. Anal, I know, but I do like the fit and finish.

That's another brand I didn't hear too much of in this thread, GG&G sights are solid

Im thinking about getting a troy sight. What do guys like better, the diamond sights or the circle for the rear? I also dont know if I should get the HK or the M4 for the front sight.

As for this question, I think it just depends what your eye likes best. I liked the concept of the diamond, but found in person it wasn't for me. Same with the HK style front, I really liked the idea, but in practice (had this set up on my AR-10), I couldn't center it real well because I kept focusing on the outside (arms) instead of the front post.

So, standard diopter in the rear, M4 post, this is what I can focus and center best, but everyone is different.

I love my Magpul's. Not knocking any sights here but I like this link for new people who are looking for sights. Its a drop test done on a few brands.

I have a set of knights armament sights that I love, they are pricey though! Troys would be my second favorite as far as flip up buis go. I like the Daniel Defense fixed buis as well. Depends on preference and purpose of the gun.

The reasons I like the Knights over the Troys are:
Lower profile when flipped down
Don't lock in place where you have to push a button to manipulate... The knights sights lock in place using a detent, but if I was to bump them they will flip down as opposed to breaking. Also they only require one hand and very little thought process to manipulate up/down. Vs having to push the button on the troys to bring them in/out of action.

That all being said, I still thoroughly enjoy my Troy sights and still rate them as one of my favorites! Also that goes to show that taking our word vs trying a few and finding out what works for you would be silly! Try as many different styles as you can, and consider your primary use for them/budget... Go from there

Thanks you guys... I think I'm going to go with the troy flip up circle sight for the rear, and the troy m4 flip up sight for the front.... my only problem now is finding where to get them I need sights soon.. My ar is just wanting to get shot
