Id also like to upgrade to tritium in the future.

The micros are mainly for weapons with an elevated top rail. Using them on a standard height rail might end up being too low for your site picture when your weapon is shouldered. And it would also affect co-witness on your optic, if applicable.

If you're looking to upgrade you may want to checkout the Magpul MBUS Pro set. They're extremely low profile and very light to be steel. Here is a link at ROG one of our new sponsors. At $132.50 they may be the best deal on backup sights.

Id also like to upgrade to tritium in the future. Tritium rifle sights were big in the early 90's, before red dot sights really became mainstream. A front tritium sight post is typically wider than a standard A2 type, but is usable. Rear tritium sights are just about pointless and more of a distraction, due to the close proximity to your eye.

Ditto on tritium rear for AR. Actually irritating. MBUS Pros are nicely low profile for fitting under a scope.

The Micros are, like the standard Troys, very well made. I have a set on a Robinson Arms XCR-L rifle....they work well on that rifle; better than the previous Magpul MBUS gen 1's that came with the XCR-L.

I have the micros on a typical m4/ar15 platform and while they have a slightly lower sight profile I havn't felt it was an issue at all. They are built like a tank as all troy BUIS have been traditionally. Regardless I do agree with the above and say that the tritium is not really needed.
