Reddit mentions of UTG Super Slim Flip-up Rear Sight

Other than the name brand I do not see why these should cost more than $60.

I would recommend UTG's spring loaded set for $60

Or their non spring loaded set for $45

I can personally vouch for these, accurate right out of the box, zero issues, made of the same grade of aluminum.


I've also purchased their non spring loaded 45 degree offset iron sights which go for $60 combined

The best part about these is that the front sight's elevation adjustments are tool-less.

I'm also genuinely curious about the differences between the pricier backup sights (Magpul, Troy Industires, Diamondhead, etc.) and the lower-priced options available on Amazon, since the latter cost around half as much as former. I'll be running a Vortex StrikeFire II on my AR, and I currently have the UTG Low Profile Flip-Up Front and Rear sights (which were gifted to me, and seem to have decent reviews). I'd imagine there's a difference in fit and finish/build quality between the two price points, but are budget backup sights an acceptable option if they're actually just being used as backups?

Have you looked at UTG PRO front rear sights?

These are the ones I have on my AR right now, I like them.

Buy the UTG Pro flip ups.

Front

Rear

Springfield uses them on their Saint rifles. I got myself a rear sight to play around with and keep as a backup part, and I'm pretty happy with it. Nice thing about it is that you can flip it down w/ the aperture in either the regular or close setting which is something my Troy flip ups can't do.

I gambled on cheaper no-name brand pieces and definitely didn't get my money's worth out of them. The Ozark, Dagger, and Chaos sights all appear to be the same and likely all come from the same factory in China. They look like decent options, but I'd take the UTG over them if only for the looks. UTG definitely has shit products out there, but I think the new flip up sights can hang out with their other PRO stuff like handguards as not shit-tier.

UTG has a decent one. Their folding sights are good to go, despite some of their other product lines reputations.

I have the set of front and rear of these on an 11.5 upper, holds zero just fine:

If you're satisfied with the optic, then it's fine.

As mentioned the rear sight is low quality. A Magpul MBUS rear sight is ~ $36. If that's too expensive, there's the UTG low profile rear flip up sight.

If you must go with a vertical grip, get a short stubby like the one by Tango Down. Personally, I don't think you should use one until you have enough shooting experience and training to tell you what kind of foregrip you might want, if any.

MBUS are cheap and not worth your time. There are cheaper more durable options on amazon if you are fine with buying something made in china.
