Magpul makes a metallic PRO buis that I would consider a better product than their plastic offering.

Can't be serious. Good enough? Yes. Most durable? LOLZERS.

I've got Troys, KACs, and have owned Magpuls. Love my KACs more, by a mile.
The only other set I'd buy would be the Spikes low profile BUIS. A friend has them and they are awesome. |

Because the screw is not the same design as the rest of the sight. I'm not asking about strength, I'm asking about durability. I know a Troy is stronger than an MBUS, but does it hold zero better with rigorous use? Quote HistoryQuoted:

If the polymer is so damned strong, why do they come with a metal screw to install them with? Because the screw is not the same design as the rest of the sight. I'm not asking about strength, I'm asking about durability. I know a Troy is stronger than an MBUS, but does it hold zero better with rigorous use? I'd get an MBUS before Troy. Honestly, I still won't buy Troy. Quoted:
IIRC there was a drop test where the Magpul did better than the Troy. ETA: http://kitup.military.com/2012/07/back-up-iron-sight-drop-test.html Aluminum deformation is mostly permanent, where as plastic has some temporary deformation/flex. MBUS is pretty cheap and pretty reliable. Buy a good optic and put them on with confidence.

I like them but I prefer the magpul pros. Same. The Pros are really nice and I am going to get a second set but I do think the Gen 2 polymer sights would still win the "throw it down the driveway" test. They are tough. |

That thing looks badass. I'm going to order one to try it out. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eKtB1tFTL._SY400_.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted:

I ordered a set of the ''Zahal'' BUS from Israel, similar to MBUS, they look very good. They are a dealer in the ''Industry'' section [ or manufac. ] They were $68 shipped, quickly. They advertise that the IDF uses them, pretty recommendation to me. That thing looks badass. I'm going to order one to try it out. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eKtB1tFTL._SY400_.jpg Those look good. May have to give them a try myself. |

Still? I wasn't aware they had obtained the top spot. Maybe something from Troy?!?

I have been selling a lot of Ruger's new polymer flip up sights and like them so far. $25 for the front and $35 for the rear.

Never was. Knights or troy. Metal. Lucky gunner did A test a year ago. Troy and diamondback were the worst. Bent on first test. Magpul was the only one who made it though all the tests. |

Non-locking design mixed with polymer actually is pretty durable. Quote HistoryQuoted:

This is a joke thread. Nobody ever considered the plastic Magpul BUIS as being remotely the toughest on the market. Non-locking design mixed with polymer actually is pretty durable. Agreed. I have a couple of the Magpul polymer BUIS sets. Can't say I've ever had a problem with them. I don't go around trying to break them, but I have tested them for what I think could potentially break them. They seem to me like they could withstand most, if not all, of what a quality aluminum sight would. Nagpur probably started making the Pro series because of unsubstantiated outcry from people who just couldn't bring themselves to buy a polymer sight, even having no experience with them. |

Just jumping in to say Troy can take a long walk off a short pier.
The only thing Troy can make is life long enemies. While others have moved on after the staff threats here, I haven't. |

The plastic MagPul BUIS are actually fairly tough. Tougher than some big-name metallic BUIS. For the money MagPul is hard to beat.
The MBUS Pro's are tougher though. |

BUIS, sound good and all but my eyes have gone to shit so much, plastic, irons, whatever would not matter much.
I will need to go Diane Fineswine 'spray and pray" method of shooting. |
