Tacfire AR-15 45 Degree Rapid Transition Back Up Sights - Black Aluminum

The Tacfire AR-15 45 Degree Rapid Transition Back Up Sights in black aluminum deliver fast, reliable iron sight performance for operators who demand quick optics-to-iron transitions. Constructed from T6 6061 black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, these 45-degree backup sights mount perpendicular to the rail system, allowing shooters to cant the rifle and acquire a sight picture without removing the primary optic. This configuration is proven in law enforcement, military training, and professional-level shooting competition where redundancy and speed matter.

The front sight features an adjustable A2 post design, allowing for elevation fine-tuning to match your specific ammunition and intended zero distance. The rear aperture employs dual-aperture functionality—a larger opening for rapid target acquisition and close-range engagements, and a smaller aperture optimized for precision at extended distances. The anodized finish resists corrosion and wear under field conditions, maintaining sight picture clarity and mechanical function through repeated deployment cycles. At 0.39 pounds, the sights add minimal weight to your AR platform.

This backup sight system is purpose-built for AR-15 platforms where primary optics may be battery-dependent, damaged, or obscured in dynamic scenarios. The 45-degree offset mounting keeps the sights clear of top-rail real estate, preserving space for lights, lasers, or magnified optics. Patrol officers, defensive shooters, and AR carbine users who prioritize redundancy select 45-degree backup sights to ensure mission capability when primary sighting systems fail. The Tacfire design delivers the aluminum construction and aperture versatility expected at this performance tier.
