Reviews & Ratings for Troy Dioptic Apeture DOA Top Mounted Deployable Iron Sight for AR-15 — 28 reviews — Page 1

I should've listened to other reviews on here about these Troy Tritium iron sights but sometimes you sum others complaining up to their own experience. How could I go wrong with Troy I say? I just got a rear DOA sight, and a front M4 Tritium sight, and checked the tritium on both in a very controlled pitch black room. after 30 minutes of eyeball adjustment I began the test. I have 20/20 vision. Test was a non stop struggle to even see anything. I knew in 2 seconds I wanted to return these. You can BARELY see any type of glow in total darkness. If you think these are worth the money you are dead wrong. they grab you with the DOA diopter apeture. Past that you're way overpaying. Sending them back. I also emailed Troy ahead of time to ask directly if they honor their own warranty on dead Tritium and they never emailed back. I told them if they can't answer I'm sending them back anyways. Turns out everyone was right and then some. I am a fan of Troy I have other Troy products that are great. but these are absolutely ridiculous. Totally overpriced. Tritium rating 1 to 10 (10 being bright) Troy's can BARELY rank 1. it's actually HARD to see any glow in pitch black. I cannot emphasize that enough. even after your eyes adjust to no light. trust me I wanted to keep these. but I wanted tritium more than a good diopter and the high price does not justify anything here. Basic $50 green Truglo tritium sights meanwhile are a pleasant 8 or 9 for glow, not too bright not too dim. These Troy ...

The only reason this didn’t get 5 stars is because the tritium isn’t as bright as I imagined it would be. Coupled with a tritium front sight post this makes low light shooting a breeze. No more searching for your sight picture or doing the front sight post dance. Stop staring at it and just buy it.

Found the Troy flip up iron sights to be very rugged and easy to acquire. With the tritium inserts finding the sight picture is a breeze. Would recommend these to anyone who needs some back up sights!

These are not inexpensive sights with the tritium front and back (dioptic that I have) going dark after 7 years. I called Troy fulling expecting to have these warrantied under their limited lifetime warranty. Nope not even any empathy from them. They said 'everyone' knows that Tritium goes dark after about 10 years and if you want to replace the parts containing the tritium, you must buy the entire site, again, at retail. They were kind enough to offer me a 10% discount if I bought another set; are they kidding? My future experience with Troy is over and I will NEVER buy anything from them again. The sights are rugged which why they got 2 stars from me but any company that doesn't stand behind a lifetime warranty these days is bought to eventually fail. I guess they don't care about their retail market. Btw, XS sights will replace your sights if the tritium fails, under their no questions lifetime warranty and are a pleasure to deal with. I had such an instance with them and can't say enough about how pleasant dealing with them was.

Troy Industries has a reputation for well made products. This sight is no exception. It works as advertised. The “diamond” / dioptic aperture allows for a far more precise centering of the front sight post when aligning the sights. It picks up easily with the eye, has a comfortable height and the tritium inserts lend tremendous aid to sight acquisition in low light scenario. The function of the folding sight is tactile with an audible yet not overly loud “click” once it locks into the upright position. The spring tension is firm yet not too difficult to manipulate with one hand. My singular gripe with the product is that it is not spring loaded to achieve its upright position. If it were, I would have given it five stars. Is that petty of me? Maybe... but there are other folding sights on the market of much cheaper quality *cough cough Magpul* that have that feature.

I've got to tell you, I was extremely skeptical that Troy tritium sights would be measureably different from other sights on the market, but they're incredible. The all metal sights are made of top quality materials, superb construction, and function flawlessly. They're pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for. If your life might depend on the backup sights you run, then you only have one choice - TROY!

Troy incorporates excellent quality control, and innovation in most of their products. These Battle Sights are no exception. The springs are sturdy, and the coatings haven't chipped. I use them for co-witness with my EoTechs. Troy is the best.

Troy industries builds excellent products.everything as an aftermarket product I use toy. There the best.thank u optics planet. This is the second set I bought for my ar 15. I bought them for my roger and Daniel defense.

Paired with Troy Front Folding Tritium M4 Style BattleSights-Black
SKU: OY-IRN-TRIM4FOLDBATTLE-SSIG-FBS-FMBT-01. Tritium inserts are a must in my opinion on a long gun. No spring assist, manually put up, lock in place and push a spring button and fold down. Basic works. Quality build from Troy Industries.
