Well I am finishing off my 11.5 ar pistol build. Adding the 10" midwest industries 10" T free float hand guard and am tossed up between these 2 BUIS. First is the set of flip up front and rear ones from midwest industries (like the front sight the most as to it kinda has the 416 hood look) or a set from magpul. I have not found any pics with the magpul ones installed-only the drawing on their web page. Any input between these 2 would be great. As money permits a aim point, eotech, or trig reflex sight will be added later.

I just put the Magpul ones on my midlength with the Yankee Hill FF quad rail and zeroed them yesterday.  Very easy target aquisition and very positive sight adjustments.  I can't speak for the other ones.  Just my .02$

Finally got it

Could you send me or post a pic? Would really like to see what they look like mounted.

Head to your local shop and try to play with some Magpul sights. They deploy faster and easier than you would expect. I think they look a little ugly, but they work great and they're super light. I'm sure you'd be happy. If not, sell it on here and you could make your money back.

I wish my local shop had stuff like this but they don't. I live in the north woods aka middle of no where just about where you're lucky to see any thing more than what comes from the factory on a AR. Thanks for the info on the magpul sights. Only ones I've seen have been on their site which is just the scematic type drawing.

I have a couple of MI front sights and really like them. I always use ARMS 40 for the rear.

SWAN?!?  I encourage everyone to steer clear of this terrible company.  

I have two sets of magpul and they are excellent.  I prefer Troy but MI is good too.

Any chance you could post some pics of the magpul BUIS mounted that you have?

Very nice pics/builds to both guns. Magpul looks good. If you still don't mind posting a pic looking down them it would greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
