| Anyone have any recommendations for a fixed rear iron sight? I was looking at the Troy or DD models but can't decide. Any recommendations or other brands I should look at? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

LMT irons are probably the coolest or get an actual A2 carry handle. Spikes carry handles, when the are in stock at AIM surplus, are a fantastic buy.
I personally wouldn't get anything other than an A2 carry handle for a fixed sight. If you want to mount optics later, I'd say get a flip up sight like Troy. |

DD is my preference. Troy is good too. Chopped carry handles one from having carry handles and having no money. They are heavy and the adjustments are undesirable for use other than at matches. I was going to suggest DD or Troy, too. I have, and am happy with, both. The Larue fixed rear BUIS looks nice, too, but is heavier than necessary. |

LMT, or LaRue. I have had 2 DD sights and I either can't get them to zero, or when they do zero, the rear aperture is all the way to one side. In both cases I use a different sight and the aperture is in the middle, with the DD it ends up all the way to one side. So its got to be something in the way the DD was made. |

I was thinking of trying one. Has anyone else noticed this? |

I don't use a fixed rear sight anymore now that I have an optic. But I had the DD and mine zeroed fine and wasn't pushed all the way to one side at all. Two though seems to be too much for coincidence. Hmmm... OP: I liked my DD. Nice and sleek, no knobs to catch or get out of whack and nice and light as someone said. Cheers! -JC |

I run irons only right now and use LMT front and rear. I've never had the elevation or windage knobs accidentally turn themselves during the course of all my drills and transitions. Just FYI. Plus, mine return to zero perfectly after taking them on and off. I've experienced accidental re zeroing of both A2 and Matech sights on at least three occasions. I currently refuse to buy sights that can be adjusted without tools. |
