Is the rear sight flat in the back or slanted? (Flat being better for one handed charging of the slide.)

It's slightly slanted but can easily be used to one hand charge. .they print a lot better than the straight edge sight. ..your going to shoot it more than charge it with one hand..just my 2 cents

The rear sight is both flat on the front and rear. If single handed slide manipulations are your thing, this rear rear sight is perfect for the job.

It is absolutely flat enough for one handed charging... one of my regular drills... fantastic sights!!!

Not at all. Just move the rear sight forward enough so your figures have access to the charging handling. I have an AR style DDM4 and it's a great setup!

If you're using this on a pistol, I strongly recommend getting your slide milled for the Delta Point. This is not only a much stronger installation, it lets you mount it IN FRONT of the rear sight. This allows you to use the original irons as back-ups, and more importantly, to use the muscle memory you've developed from using iron sights to much more rapidly transition to the reflex sight. That's what (for me) takes the pistol reflex sight from "nice idea" to "game changer".

The latest update on SW301 from Ameriglo has the vertical edge on the rear sight to enable one hand operation.

I am not sure which part you are looking at. The rear peep sight may have a little side to side movement but should not be excessive. If you are concerned you should return it.

The new sight has a stud on the bottom that fits in the slot in the slide. Sometimes this needs a little bit of fitting. The sight is held on the slide with a tiny screw that is provided with the sight. I highly recommend you purchase the little sight installation socket or grind down one of your own. With the proper socket size, it is not too difficult to install the sight. Also advise you to clean the sight hole and the screw with alcohol and put some Blue Locktite on the threads.

If you are mounting this front flip up sight on a (flat top weaver rail) it will be perfect for a rear sight such as a (carry handle rear sight). It measures 1-1/2" from the top of the weaver rail to the very top of the overall sight, wich is above the sight post that you will use for sighting in your weapon. I have this flip up sight on my flat top(ar15) and it works great. I have a carry handle rear sight, and a flip up (low profile) front utg sight. IF you are getting this sight to flip down so you can use optics you'll be fine. Be careful because... utg also makes a flip up sight that is not a (LOW). It all depends on the rear sight. Good luck!

With the rear sight mounted as far to the rear as possible, it folded flat very near to the rear edge of the standard charging handle on my DDM4V7. It did not prevent me from grabbing the charging handle but under pressure situations, could cause a missed grab. I solved this problem by moving my ACOG scope to the rear and mounting the Diamond Head rear sight in FRONT of my scope. This actually works pretty good.

Depends on your back up iron sights. Diffrent heights require different mounts. My flip up soghts needed the cantilever mount in order for the sight to be cowitness

Front sight is held in with a small screw with very thin head that wil bend or break off if not removed carefully. The rear sight pushes out to the right looking from the rear of the slide. It must go back right to left. Should be done with a sight tool. It is recomended to have your local gunsmith do it for you.Rickwww.drarmement.com

The eye relief is too short to use a flip rear sight. However, being an old guy, don't need iron sights. Try using the 45 degree side mounts for you iron sights. Go 3 gun set up. Excellent scope for the money!

As far as I know , all XDs have the same sight cut in the slide . Dovetail front and back . For the smaller slide , though , I would count on going to your gunsmith to have the old ones removed with a sight press ... They are tough , and I do mean tough to get off ... You will torque the slide if you are not careful . The big dot front will need some slight fitting with a needle file , to polish out the dovetail ... The rear is mounted with a set screw , and should slide right in . NOTE : I staked my front with a center punch , once I got it aligned ... Do not hit the dial of radioactive fluid , or the upright of the sight , just move some of the metal on the slide enough to close the dovetail tight . That is all .

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

It looks like there is a dovetail in front of the rear sight. You could mount a red dot. However it would move with the the slide when you cock the gun..not sure how accurate it would be..its more of a 'fun gun' for short range tin can plinking..

Are you using a scope? Or any kind of iron sight? It may appear to shoot to the left but it may be your scope adjusted wrong. And I have also had issues with that. I replaced it with a higher tension spring which helped it shoot a lot straighter. Hope this helps

There is a countersunk screw head on the outside of the sight. Turning the screw moves the rear sight right and left for windage adjustment. If you can find a close-up of the rear sight you may be able to see the adjusting screw (flat blade screw driver or coin can be used) Try searching pictures of Diamondhead D-45 sights.

It all depends on how your sights fit into your slide. I know that not all front sights attach in the same way. I would call Truglo, or maybe email their customer support, unless another user has them. That would give you a definite answer.
