My first experience with this sight comes from the Gen 1 Saint Victor as it comes standard with it. It is full metal and dull finish to not reflect light. It needs button press to flip up and flip down so you won’t accidentally actuate it. The length is incredible compact so it would not interfere with the charging handle. However, that’s make it taller than other iron sight so you might have problem clearing some scope. Although, it does work with my vortex venom and most lower 1/3 magnifier. I think this with the companion front sight makes a great combo for a short barrel rifle where rail space is a premium. It doesn’t look bad on my 16” Saint Victor either. I have three sets of these iron sights and they’re good to go for most applications. Obviously I haven’t take them to war or torture test them, so take it with a grain of salt. But for back up iron sights, these UTG sights are perfect in terms of performance, durability and value.
Pros:
- value
- all metal
- short and compact
- Button actuated

They work for back up sights. Rock solid don't move once deployed, good build quality. Would recommend if you need backup sights. I know in the past they got a bad rap but have come a long way since then.

For what you would pay for a plastic, flip up sight you can buy this one and have a precise, well machined and finished one
made out of aluminum. Fits a standard 1913 rail and bolts up solid with NO play whatsoever.

I have plenty of magpul flip up and love them. However i was looking for something different and something that was metal instead of plastic. These work really and I have no issues using them time and time again.

These iron sights are great and I highly recommend them. I plan on buying more for future guns. Easy to install and I like the button flip-up design. Yeah red dots are good and easy but it’s best to practice with iron sights and get better with them first. Manual is always the way to go!
Pros:
- Easy to install
- Affordable
Would recommend: Yes

If you want a good enough quality sight that's not too expensive this is a great option. The first couple of times popping it up there was a little roughness but that disappeared after working it a few times.

I’ve purchased several sets of these flip-up sights. Compared to other brands these sights work very well and they are very affordable. They’re made out of aluminum. Some other UTG flip-up sights are marked “made in U.S.A. but these are not. There’s other ones that are made here. I don’t see any difference in quality. The sight is click adjustable and has a small and large apertures for short or long distance shooting. Since these are just “back-up” sights they won’t be used often. I do prefer aluminum flip-up sights compared to polymer sights.
Pros:
- Afffordable
- Well constructed
- Works very well. Solid build
Would recommend: Yes
