[QUOTE="APH Tactical, post: 2933957, member: 40946"] If I hadn't personally broken and seen others break magpul front sights, I wouldn't have said anything. Also, your "example" is a poor one. No point on your Glock frame (or my HK45 frame) is as thin and brittle as the connection point on the magpul front sight which is exactly where mine broke. [SIZE=16px]Curious... are the sights on your Glock also plastic?[/SIZE] But, I heard that the new Larue scope mounts will be plastic. Also, Aimpoint and Trijicon are going with plastic tubes for their optics, and Eotech announced that they too are getting rid of their heavy metal shells and going with a plastic housing. And to top it off, the U.S. Army has just authorized the use of the plastic magpul sights on combat weapons! Wow, what a great day for plastic!!! To celebrate, I'm gonna print out some plastic 5.56 "brass" and load some hard hitting 62 grain... any takers??? I can also do plastic firing pins if there is any interest in those... lighter than Titanium!!! To the OP, the decision is yours. Magpul is a great company and will immediately replace your broken stuff as they did for both of the front sights and flashlight mount that we've broken. Check out the drop tests that the other members posted. Personally, I will not as my mind has been made up on this topic. We manufacture custom rifles. And though we push troy and others, it does not change the fact that most of our rifles wear magpul buis. In the end, the choice is 100% yours, and which ever you decide, I hope that you enjoy and never regret your purchase. [/QUOTE]
