Review: My favorite sights - I own YHM, Troy micro battle sights, Magpul, and other flip up and solid sights, and I have to say, I really like these sights. The Diamondhead polymer sights are fast becoming my favorites. The diamond pattern allows for really fast sight alignment on your target. They were a little bit snug to slide on my rail, but feel very solid. Springs in mine are good and strong, you touch the button and they pop fully up with a snap sound. Mine lay almost perfectly flat against my rail when in the collapsed position. I used my laser bore sighter after I installed them on my full length rail and was very surprised at how little adjust it took to bore sight them. Both sights adjusted very easily, no tools needed for the front and you can use a bullet casing, coin, or a small flat screwdriver for the rear. Update 11/11/2014- I have to differ with the reviewer that is claiming that Magpul MBUS sights are so much better than the Diamondhead sights. Yes, The Magpul MBUS sights are good sights, but I found them to be harder to push down into the collapsed position than the Diamondhead's. And the release button on the Magpul MBUS sights requires more pressure to push to pop them up. With the MBUS sights, you need to carry a AR sight tool to adjust the front sight post, the Diamondhead front sight is tool-less and has a easy to adjust thumb wheel. The Magpul MBUS sights are bulkier than the Diamondhead's, which on some rifles with lightweight aluminum quad rails, can look out of place. But my honest comparison between some of the popular flip up sights. Yankee Hill Machine YHM-5040- Very easy to push release button, sights pop up well, easy to push down into the collapsed position, easy to adjust, front sight requires tool. Troy Micro Battle Sights HK front and round rear- A little bit stiffer to push release buttons, fairly easy to lift into upright position, fairly easy to push down into the collapsed position, easy to adjust, front requires tool. Magpul MBUS- Hardest to push release buttons, pop up nicely, hardest to push down to collapse, easy to adjust, front requires tool, bulky and look out of place on some lightweight rifles. Diamondhead- Easy to push release buttons, pop up with a snap, Easy to push down to collapse, harder to push down than the YHM but closer to the Troy's, very easy to adjust front sight, easy to adjust rear.
Review: Afordable sights from some of the best in the biz - After reading multiple accounts of Metal Back Up Sights bending while falling directly onto them (while flipped up) I decided that polymer is the way to go (as long as it is not mounted to a gas block because they will melt!) polymer is half the price and just as accurate. Plus, it doesn't bend really... it bounces back. I had wanted the metal Diamondhead sights for a while but when I saw that they had released these, it was a Godsend. I like them better than the Magpul sights (although those are very good and nothing wrong with them) because the diamond shapes really do help acquire target faster and lets face it, they look way cooler!! The construction is good. When you press the release button, it has a quick, positive snap into place. The rear sight that I got has a release button that isn't as smooth as the front but that doesn't hinder the function of it at all. After some use, it has gotten better. I like that the mounting bolts are flush and wont get snagged on anything. They sit down flat and don't move. They are the same height as my stock A2 sights (see pic) which makes it easy to co-witness sights (see pic) Easy to zero and I love that you do not have to have a tool to adjust the front sight post. Glow inserts work as advertised and glow for over an hour, just shine a good flashlight on it for about 5-10 seconds. That's all it takes. I would recommend these to anyone who wants some more affordable BackUps and isn't afraid of polymer. Talking to you old school!! :) Jokes aside, they all have their pros and cons. What works for you?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good for the price!!! Detailed review...
*by J***O on March 4, 2017*

The sights and concept are phenomenal. The fit is a bit tricky. It is a pretty tight fit on the rail, having to tap with a rubber mallot. When secured to the rail, the forward sight deployment was only partial, stopping around 80 degrees, just short of the full 90 degree sweep to final stop. These were installed in a Diamondhead VRS-T KeyMod guard, so I expected full compatibility. Support with Diamondhead as always is phenomenal, with an offer to replace the sights. I am testing a few things, so far this has somewhat resolved the issue: light application of a Teflon based lubricant on all moving parts, loosening slightly the securing thru bolt, but concerned of back threading during firing. Applying a thread locker would address this, but there should be no need to go to having to modify or add to the recommended installation. As for fit, after removing and reinstalling a few time, (had to force removal and reinstallation) the plastic base seems to have enough wear from friction to provide a better fit, also a concern, but after proper fit, and final installation, normally sights are not removed or at least very infrequently. The NiteBrite feature, is pretty interesting, providing a very good low light and rapid target acquisition, the drawback is that it has to be pre-charged with a bright light, which would defeat its use in the weapon is stored in a case or safe, and had to be rapidly put into use in a low light situation... Tritium would be a better choice, but at a premium price. Dollar for dollar a very nice product, and the diamond sights to provide a VERY intuitive target acquisition!!!
