Iron sights are designed to help you when target shooting with your rifle or handgun. They are usually made of metal and assist you in taking the perfect shot. Many iron sights are manufactured today with a flat top upper intended to receive optics. Some are now even built with a gas block that has a flat rail on top, leaving the handgun or rifle with no front sight. Many people thankfully run optics-only rifles, but many people are also looking for the best flip up sights. Flip up sights give you the best of both worlds. These are designed to fold out of the way and mount underneath a scope or red dot. Flip up sights, or back up iron sights are meant to serve as a backup in case of optics miscarriage, or to simply allow the gun owner to switch back and forth between optics and iron sights at their freedom. There are a lot of choices on the market today for good sights. Some are even made of modern polymer while others can be an all metal construction. The next thing to consider is if you need a single rear sight or both a front and rear sight. Many AR 15 Rifles are actually built with a flat top upper, but are also a standard front sight as part of the gas block. If this is the case then your choice is simple, and you only have to decide between the metal designs or polymer ones. These are precisely made with exactitude metal sights intended to last a lifetime. The splendour of a flip up rear sight is you can place it at the most peak location on your upper, both for ideal eye relief, and to fit snugly underneath your optic. As many Picatinny rails have numbered slots, once you finally figure out the ideal post for your sight, you can then take note of which number you have it on this quickly replacing it if you ever find the need to take it off. All in all, the best flip up sights for AR15 rifles are some of the most adaptable iron sights you can get, the market today really lets you enjoy the flexibility of custom placed sights while backing up your optics as well. If you are looking for something to help your sight when shooting a target then don’t hesitate in investing in an iron sight for your handgun or rifle. I hope you enjoyed a look in to iron sights and the many ways they are still useful in today's world of optics being thought of as the only way to shoot accurately. While I enjoy the new technology it is also a lot of fun to go back and look at and use the tools that were used to win many wars throughout history.
