I assume you're talking about the fiber optics breaking and not the actual pin itself. Several sights offer a lot better pin rpotection than a year ago: Spott Hogg has a wrapped fiber pin guard to retrofit some of theri sights, and Cobra has adopted the Toxonic's metal optic pin (MOP). Any of the three of those are worth looking into. Also check out fitzfiber.com they offer aftermarket fibers that are brighter and more supple than factory fibers.
