ARegularPerson's Review of Troy Dioptic Apeture DOA Top Mounted Deployable Iron Sight for AR-15
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 sights you can BARELY see in total pitch black with no window, light, no hallway light, all things considered. I mean do I need to ramble on anymore?
Pros:
they have a cool diopter
Cons:
tritium is old and/or extremely low quality
calling them low light Tritium for law enforcement is laughable
these are useless in low light
can BARELY see a hint of glow in total pitch black room test
Best Used for:
Daytime only
Would Recommend:
No
