Anyone use these sights? They seem to be an economical replacement for the GG&G ones. I’ve searched everywhere for an opinion, but have come up with nothing from anyone that actually has them. It seems like it would be a good sight for the money.
To answer your question… no. If you want my opinion on them… they probably suck. If I’m not mistaken, it’s one of those airsoft garbage companies.
I probably should of clarified my request for an opinion.
Has anyone actually held them, used them, or have working knowledge of them?
I am pretty sure they make firearms accessories, and not airsoft stuff. Predominantly magazines and rails and such. I know there probably closer to Hi-point vs. Sig, and I’ve read very unfavorable reviews of there Saiga 12 mags. Overall though they seem like they would be an option on a plinker gun. I’m not thinking of putting these on may primary rifle.
Airsoft clone of the GG&G MAD from what I saw. I’ve watched them come apart on the range a few times.
A friend of mine bought a pro mag buis last year trying to save a few bucks. They are total crap. His had a different aperature, similar to a standard A2 style. They constantly come loose & don’t lock up or down. They use a weak detent to stay up / down. When in the up position, they rock back & forth about 1/8 to 3/16". The crazy part is that he took my advice and bought a BCM upper, then put junk accessories on it.
always get what you pay for. just get a mbus
I have 2 of them. They function for what they are intended for. They do wobble side-to-side a bit. But I’ve never had an issue with these and I think that they are a good buy for the price.
Would I use them on a deployment? If these are all that I had, then hell yes. I have never had a problem with them falling off, getting in the way, or loosing zero. YMMV.
Carlos,
Cool deal that’s the kind of info I wanted to hear. I’d like to get the GG&G’s, but I figured I would get these, and see if I like the sight picture they offered. If I like it I will probably save up for the GG&G MAD, with the tritium inserts. Then again if they hold up, I may just keep them. They are gonna go on my new 5.45 upper, so they will be there to thrash.
why do people ask for advise when they’ve already made up there mind. 3 people say there crap and one guy says there crappy but okay. if youre gonna buy it just freaking do it already.
Does Pro Mag make ANYTHING that’s worth a damn? I don’t think I’ve ever owned a product of theirs that actually worked.
Magpul MBUS sights are like $80 a set. But it’s your money…
Yes.
On Amicus’s advice, I got a ProMag carry-handle scope mount for my AR. I use to occasionally mount a scope (not for serious purposes). Amicus was right: it works well, and in some ways it’s nicer than the similar Leupold piece that cost 3x as much.
I also have a ProMag rubber buttpad on my rifle right now. I’m not proud of this, but it IS perfect.
Since we’re on the subject of bargains, I have a UTG rail mount for a flashlight on my gun, too. I’m not proud to have put UTG stuff on my gun, either, but it was cheap, and it’s perfect, too.
Would I buy ProMag sights, or magazines? No. But for stuff like this, ProMag is fine.
Bimmer
Evidently it is.
just skip on eating out a few times and get what the cool guys in school are getting, the arms #40 lsp 
WTF:confused: This makes tons of sense.
OP you obviously were already decided on them. Why waste peoples time.
We have had several of these “What do you guys think about, (insert crappy brand here)?” Threads pop up lately. It seems like they always turn into the OP defending a bad decision that they have already made. What the hell is going on around here lately? Don’t waste our time if you’re not looking for a 100% unvarnished opinion. We don’t really care about making you feel cool just because you bought a new toy.
Honestly, I’ve had really good luck with their 10- and 20-round Mini-14 magazines. Those are the only ProMag items I have experienced. Wait, I take that back. I think my first VFG, an $8 broomhandle, was a ProMag item. It needed a fair amount of filing before it would slide onto the rail, but it did work fine on my 9mm AR.
“What do you guys think about (a component OP will buy, but seeks validation/approval from the masses first)?”
“Which rifle should I buy?”
“Which (insert any component here) should I buy?”
'What’s the best (insert any component here)?"
“Critique my (build, build plan, rifle, component purchase)!”

Then think about your topic a bit before hitting that New Thread button. Type your query into The Google first, and see what you come up with.

If after that you still have trouble deciding, you’ll at least equipped to compose a more detailed and substantial query.
I believe mtdawg169 is correct when he believes that whoever is asking the question has already made their decision. But I think they ask anyways as an attempt to gain attention or acceptance to bolster their own insecuritiy.
This attitude is ridiculous, and unfortuneately, prevelant in quite a few members here. The OP asked a question regarding the functionality of a piece of equipment based on experience. That is what this forum is for, the exchange of information, knowledge, and ideas. Almost nobody gave him a straight answer, or had the information he was looking for.
Feel cool because you bought a new toy?
Bolster their own insecurity?
Are you kidding? Are you psychologists as well as a uber gun experts?
what were you reading?
the op asked a question and didnt like the answer. if you dont like the truth get bent
No, but I can read. Allow me to sum this thread up for you.
OP posts about a product. Two people reply with firsthand information that they are crap. OP replies that he believes the company puts out some crappy products but this one is ok. Another replies that he has the product and it’s serviceable. OP thanks the guy with the good opinion of the product.
Clearly he’s looking to validate the idea that he already has. This is a well known psychological tendency called the Confirmation Bias. People make up their minds first, then ask for “advice” to validate their opinions.
I’m not a shrink or an expert. However, I have had experience with the product he asked about and gave an honest opinion about its generally crappy quality. Some posted their opinion without having experience. Others, posted their qualified opinions in an effort to help the OP avoid wasting his time & money. His response was to ignore a majority of good information. My point is, don’t ask if you really don’t want an honest answer.
The bottom line is these sights are crap. At a minimum I would expect a buis to lock into place solidly, these don’t. How do I know? I shot a rifle wearing them last weekend and they are verifiably, junk. That is apparently ok with some people, but not me. I’m not a gear snob, but there is a difference between crap accessories designed to cash in on the AR trend and true, serviceable gear.
My post above is my observation of a recent trend on M4C. More & more folks asking relatively basic questions and getting their feelings hurt when the most experienced folks in the industry give them an honest opinion about their gear, warts & all. As I said, I’m no expert, but there are PLENTY of them around here. Their opinions should not be lightly dismissed, there is a depth of knowledge here that surpasses most forums. That experience generally leads to a good idea of what works and what doesn’t.
