Can we talk about back up 'iron' (polymer) sights?

I run an MRO with a fixed front sight and MBUS rear. I will say, shooting irons is the one time I notice the slight magnification on the MRO. If you don't shoot irons a lot on other weapons, you might not notice it. It's not enough that it causes issues, for me, but it is noticeable.

The 1.1x magnification is super common with red dots. I don't think many people realize that. I haven't shot with mine yet though, so I can't speak on it specifically yet.

I hate mine because they sit up all retarded like that. It bugs my ocd.
That shit would drive me nuts and I'd worry that it would get caught on something and snap the sight. I can't count the number of times I've had to replace the clip on a knife because it stuck out a little and got caught on shit.

Yeah, ive had to bend back knife clips as well. I might go with the magpul pros instead. Thats the way im leaning as of now at least.

@Leshaire mine don't sit like that at all. I'd post a better picture but I'm at the beach.

I think I recall CCW selling a bunch of MBUS on ODT a while ago that were found to be knock offs. I suspect there are a lot of folks with knock offs that bought what they thought were a good deal.

I'm having fun. Been going to the pool with everyone the last few days but fought my way out to the beach this morning. It went better than I thought it would walking across the sand with crutches.
