AR fixed iron sights

I use that exact DD rear sight, and boring old fixed front sight base/gas block on my 20" rifle that only has irons and no optics. It's a nice sight, buy it....................however...........I have tried running a red dot at both absolute, and lower 1/3 co-witness with this sight, and it works fine too.....BUT, that set up is just not for me, it's "too busy" of a sight picture, and I still prefer the Magpul MBUS fold down rear sights when running optics.

 

I can't speak to the matching DD fixed front sight, as I don't have it.

DD is great stuff, I'm sure they would hold up fine.  But like the post above me, I don't like all the stuff going on in my sight picture.

 

I run the Troy front and rear fold downs and like them a lot.

Thanks, I have them on order. Not planning on a red dot so it shouldn't be an issue.

I think you'll be pleased. IMHO they are the best fixed rear iron sight on the market. 

 

I loath detachable carry handles and the ridiculous un-needed adjustments.

 

With the DD rear sight, I zeroed for windage on the rear, elevation on my FSB post and leave it...., nothing to bump, or accidently turn like an A2 or carry handle sight, that's perfect for a K.I.S.S. guy like me

Nice. They are going on my ar pistol that plays a HD role and needed something I can set, forget and not worry about bumping it into something and loosing my zero.

As already stated, good quality. You'll be pleased.

I got them in and went to the range once with them. Definitely quality fixed sights for sure. Still need to dial them in some but I'd recommend them 100%. I'll post some pics when I can.
