Tritium Front Sight Question for AR-15

[mag1 0]

I picked up a KAC BUIS micro folding rear sight today for my AR.

I ordered a Troy alpha battle rail also.

I am looking for a front tritium sight, fixed or folding.

Any recommendations on which brand, or if I should do fixed or folding? I do not have any experience with iron sights on an AR.

I can get the Troy battlesight front folding for $114, or the fixed tritium battlesight for $80. These are the only ones I have been looking at today.

Thanks if you guys can help. If I go with the Troy's, I need to order asap.

I personally like fixed front sight, folding rear BUIS both non-tritium.

 

I use an RDS and while a fixed front sight with a lower 1/3 co-witness is not distracting and quickly becomes a non-issue, the tritium can draw the eye away from the dot. Additionally, I have found that the night sights aren't that useful on a rifle if you are running a white light.

 

I like the fixed front as it is one less thing to do in the event your optic fails.

It's really a personal preference. I like a clean sight picture in my red dots, so I prefer folding.

I have the Troy folding w/ Trit... but I love all things tritium and at the time I was building my rifle, I had a little extra cash so I got 'em.

 

I found that they're basically just bling. You don't need the trit... and High Exposure is right... if you're running a light, they get washed out.

I got a KAC rear micro flip and just bought a front Troy folding tritium..For both cost me $120 shipped. Only thing is the front sight is the HK style, which I prefer in looks.

Just trying to find the best deal on the 11" Alpha Vtac Battle Rail. Going with either the claymore or medival muzzle break also.

I do have to get a LPGB too, then Im set.

Thanks for all the advice so far.
