This sight is great. Like all of Troy's product, this is a serious piece of equipment, and gets the job done. Built like a bank vault! Admittedly, this is a bit pricey for something that is basically a back-up sight, as I use an Eotech HWS (another great Optics Planet purchase) on my AR. Another observation is that this item is part of the seemingly growing trend to festoon an AR with a plethora of doo-dads and gee-gaws. For example, by the time I finished adding a Surefire light, this sight, a rear sight, a vertical fore grip, and the Eotech, I've basically got a shorter, weaker version of an M14 from a weight perspective! Of course, again, the price is steep, but in this case you get what you pay for....and I'd rather pay that price than see production get moved off-shore.
All said, a great product!
Pros: Built like a tank, folds fairly flat, makes low-light aiming a breeze
Cons: Price, weight
