I am looking for 1/4 to 1/2 MOA sights that will mount on a Picatinny 1913 rail on an AR.

What would you recommend?

This would be for shooting in open sight competition.

  I've been looking for backup sights for an AR build I am working on and I always thought BUIS stood for 'Back Up Iron Sights'. Many of the of the listings are listing polymer sights as BUIS.
  
  Have I been wrong all this time?

  'Iron sights' is a generic term for non-optical type sights, not any sort of reference to what material they're made of.

  You are right, Back Up Iron Sights is the correct term for the fold-down sights used on optic-equipped rifles (An AR for example). MagPul and others make them out of plastic. Magpul calls them "Magpul Back Up Sights" (MBUS)
