Carry handle sight quality - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Having never owned any Tapco/CAA products, how would you rate the quality on there sights? I am looking for a carry handle for a MP-15R I am getting. The CAA is $25, the TAPCO is $50, and the ones from brand name gun maufactures are $70-$120. Is is worth it to spend the extra money? Are Tapco/caa crap? it's going to be a plinker and back up SHTF gun.

I have a CAA carry handle and the sights on it seem to me to be as good as any A2 I've ever shot.

Compared to the CMMG I just got from Pete with my EEEK it's hard to tell a difference.

Another option is the EE over at Barfcom, I picked up a Cardinal Forge marked carry handle for 20 bucks shipped.

I was dissapointed in th finish on the CAA handle I got, my DPMS one is considerably nicer. Both work just fine though.
