Recommend some iron sights for an AR

[Apex29]

I've got one of these:

It's my first AR and currently has a high power Leupold scope on it, but I want some back up iron sights. It's a S&W M&P 15 Performance Center 5.56.

Recommendations?

thanx

Troy Industries.....IMHO

Tritium flip up night sights

I went with Troy flip-ups and couldn't be happier. I recommend buying their tool for adjusting the sights as well.

I needed a rear iron sight for a Spikes, and the Troy's seemed to be the most popular, for a folding sight. But I spent about 1/2 the money on this fixed sight from Daniel Defense, and I definately can recommend it.

What'd you use for the front sight?

Troy if you don't mind paying 260.00 on sights. Yankee Hill or Midwest Industries if money is important.

Magpul MBUS are also good if you're on a budget. They're polymer, but very rugged.

They are fine for the rear sight, but because they are polymer, don't use them on the gas block, they will melt. Use a metal fixed or flip up sight on the gas block.

I'm gonna get hammered by the AR studs on this site, but while I would agree that Troy Industries and Yankee Hill probably lead the pack; I bought a cheap set of UTG flip ups! You know, I loc-tited (blue) a set on my DPMS and they serve the purpose. POI moves as intended and I hit the 9 or 10 ring at 50 yrds every time. They are co-witnessed to a bushnell red dot, and remain as B/U sights. Very happy with the set-up.

If you're a "3 Gun" Guy or you are an LEO and bought your own stuff, you may want to invest in something a little more expensive.
