I have used both of these sights and am currently using the Copper Johns.
I used the trophy ridge sight and could not get used to the vertical pins. I also thought that there was to much plastic. The copper Johns on the other hand is all metal and very bright pins, cheaper also. Hope this helps

I like both, I shoot with the Matrix and love it, but get the one with all Metal pins, it is worth the money, the pins are very bright! I like the Vertical Pins compared to horizontal, but it is up to you!

I like both and have friends that have each of them both the only thing that I can think of is that the pin's on the dead nuts are not as good as the Trophy ridges.

I like the all metal construction and design of the Copper John better personally. I feel the sight is more durable in general though the fiber optic material on the pins is not as well protected on the Copper John model.

I prefer the inline sights to the traditional 3-5 staggered sight. The metal matrix is great, but the plastic is cheap in my opinion
