Daniel Defense A1.5 Rear Sight


AR15 rifles have become extremely popular over the last couple of years. This morning at the range, I noticed that only three shooters did NOT have an AR15 - and two of those were only there to shoot pistols!

Even though red-dot sights are becoming the norm, a lot of people still want a backup sight. Often, the first thought is to flip-up sights. Personally, I like fixed sights, because they're a lot more rugged. They're also simple. And they're always there, you don't have to worry about flipping them up. If your optic has a "Lower third cowitness", then using the optic with the fixed sights in place is quite easy.

Daniel Defense makes a very nice fixed rear sight. It's tough, it's solid, it's well-made, and it's reasonably priced - in fact, it's not much more than the plastic flip-ups. If you're in the market, take a look at one - you'll probably like it.
