Now thats a search that would put me to sleep!
The only MBUS I own came on my M&P 15/22. I think I've seen a drop test video somewhere. If I recall, the spring loaded design actually helps protect the sight in this case, allowing it to "give" upon impact. They hold up pretty well. With that being said, all my ARs have steel buis because that's how I roll! 😀
They are called "IRONS" for a reason.

Yep. I've always sort of viewed the MBUS as adequate for a plinker or a placeholder on a gun that may be relied on for self defense, training, etc.
That's a pic from Larue, but I can charge my rifle with my stock completely collapsed.
This is what you seek. Back Up Iron Sight Drop Test
"The last set of BUIS was the Magpul MBUS. Damage was purely cosmetic and the sight remained fully functional. Point of impact shift was less than 1 MOA. Unlike the other sighting devices, a second drop was performed. Results did not change, and the sight remained functional. Prior to this test, I didn’t think much of the MBUS; I now have a different opinion. In any case, it’s fair to say that I found the results of this experiment educational and informative."
/\ Thanks for this. I was about to drop some change on the troy buis. I think I'll save some money and buy the Magpul.
Or, wait until DSG puts the MBUS Pro on sale again for $125. Best deal around for an all steel, well designed and super low profile BUIS.
So the plastic ones are better than all the others, but magpul created new ones that are steel and marketed as "pro"?
