Now they come out with "their" design. it has some features I like, but I bought a Diamondhead sight for $119.00, does the same thing 20 bucks cheaper. I was impressed with it as soon as I got to the range. I've been shooting M-16, M4, and AR since 1982. Good practical concept. Either sight is worth a try.

I wonder if this Troy dude could back up his claim with...I don't know...some type of factoid over the shape of the aperture. I'm not saying it's incorrect but I'd like a bit of third party objectiveness. It certainly looks 'Neato-torpedo' and I'm sure the AR nerds will be clamouring to get one on their M-Forgeries, but $140 for a rear sight is a lot of dough. Which may or may not be better then what they've already got. I think I'll save up for the rhomboid shaped ACOG or the dodecahedron EOTech. Hmmm, ‘Troy claim…’

I've never had the chance to try one, and they're relatively pricey especially considering they're made chiefly of plastic if I recall. Wouldn't mind checking them out sometime in the future though, I've heard a lot of good things about 'em. I've been considering replacing the cheap ProMag made folding rear sight on my AR for awhile, might have to take a look at one of these if I can find one.
