Another thread on another forum came to the same conclusion about the DOA - 1/3 liked it, 1/3 hated it, 1/3 said it was about the same as a round aperature. I'd shoulder one or try it out first.

My Troy is fixed so I don't think dropping it will knock it out of zero. I swapped the front pin with a .072 round dot (bead?) and that's about as good as it gets irons-wise as far as I am concerned. It would be cool if the ball was brass but whatevs.

My only complaint about the Troy DOA is that it has no elevation adjustment. This limits what front sights you can use as a lot of the trijicon, fiberoptic or crosshair type fronts have greater than 1 MOA adjustments (as they are not symmetrical on all four sides), which might not be good enough.
