John's Review of SIG SAUER Flip Up Iron Sight Set
Good, solid, basic sights. They stay down when down & lock into place when flipped up.
When I purchased these sights there was no photo on the optics planet website. I made my purchase decision based on the SIG name and what I saw other places including the SIG website. I was looking forward to the HK style front sight (post inside an open circle) BUT what came was in the mail the winged style front post. Disappointed but it was my own fault for making an assumption. I could have called or asked the question of Optics Planet before purchasing but I didn't. Its not a show stopper, just a minor disappointment since I was expecting something else.
My only technical complaint is that the reference markings on the rear sight are very hard to see & use. The graduations are etched but not painted, with no obvious center line, and there are no reference marks on the front sight. The issue with this is that once you get them zeroed, you need to keep track of any adjustments you make in order to restore that zero later.
These sights are very solid, have no play when flipped up, and the price was very competitive compared to other quality name brand flip up sights.
