US Tactical 45 Degree Offset Flip-Up Sight Set - Polymer Construction | Model TS-PS9B
Spring-Loaded Backup Sights for AR-15 Red Dot & Magnified Optic Configurations
Add instant close-range capability to your magnified or red dot setup with the US Tactical 45 Degree Offset Flip-Up Sight Set – the fast-transition solution for shooters who need both long-range precision and rapid close-quarters engagement without changing optics.
Key Features & Benefits
45 Degree Offset Design - Game-Changing Versatility Mounted at a 45-degree angle to your primary optic, these offset sights allow you to instantly transition between:
- Primary optic (magnified scope or red dot) for precision shots
- Offset iron sights for close-range targets or optic backup
Simply cant your rifle 45 degrees and you're on target – no removing hands from firing position, no adjusting magnification, no time wasted. This is the preferred setup for:
- 3-Gun competition shooters
- Tactical applications requiring multiple engagement distances
- Hunters using magnified optics who need quick follow-up capability
- Any shooter running magnified scopes without wanting to sacrifice close-range speed
Spring-Loaded Flip-Up Mechanism Quick-deploy spring action pops sights up instantly when needed – just press the release. When not in use, they fold completely flat for:
- Zero interference with primary optic
- Snag-free operation
- Protected lens surfaces
- Clean, streamlined rifle profile
Durable Polymer Construction High-strength reinforced polymer delivers the perfect balance of durability and weight savings:
- Impact-resistant for hard use and drops
- Weather-resistant for all-condition reliability
- Lightweight to avoid adding unnecessary bulk
- Cost-effective without sacrificing performance
High-Profile Design for Co-Witness Tall sight height ensures proper co-witness alignment when used as offset sights with most optic configurations. Clear, unobstructed sight picture enables fast target acquisition even under stress.
Single Aperture Rear Sight Simplified rear aperture provides fast, instinctive aiming without the complexity of dual-aperture adjustments. Perfect for rapid engagement scenarios where speed trumps precision.
Universal Picatinny Rail Compatibility Mounts securely to any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail system with standard clamp-on attachment. Works on:
- AR-15 flat-top upper receivers
- Free-float handguards with top rail
- Optic mounts with rail sections
- Any Picatinny-compatible platform

How 45 Degree Offset Sights Work
Traditional Setup Limitations:
- Magnified scope: Can't shoot close targets quickly
- Red dot only: Limited long-range precision
- Flip-up caps on scope: Slow to deploy
- Quick-detach mounts: Lose zero, require tools
45 Degree Offset Solution:
- Mount primary optic at 12 o'clock (top center)
- Mount offset sights at 45-degree angle (typically right side)
- Use primary optic for normal shooting
- Cant rifle 45° to access offset sights instantly
- Return to primary optic by straightening rifle
Result: Two complete sighting systems on one rifle with zero transition time.
Perfect For
✓ 3-Gun Competition - Instant transitions between targets at varying distances
✓ Tactical Shooting - CQB backup for magnified optics
✓ Hunting - Quick shots at close game while running magnified scope
✓ Long-Range Builds - Close-range backup for high-magnification scopes
✓ Red Dot + Magnifier Setups - Alternative to flipping magnifier aside
✓ Optic Backup - Reliable iron sights if primary optic fails
✓ Multi-Purpose Rifles - One gun for multiple shooting scenarios
Installation & Setup Tips
Mounting Position:
- Rear sight: Mount on upper receiver rail or high optic mount
- Front sight: Mount on handguard rail or front of upper receiver
- Both sights should be at the same 45-degree angle (typically right side)
- Ensure proper sight radius (distance between front and rear)
Zeroing:
- Cant rifle exactly 45 degrees (use level or mark for consistency)
- Zero at your preferred distance (typically 25 or 50 yards)
- Verify zero with multiple shots
- Practice canting to same angle for repeatability
Pro Tip: Mark a reference point on your stock or grip to ensure consistent canting angle every time.
Advantages of Polymer vs. Metal Offset Sights
Metal Offset Sights:
- Heavier weight
- Higher cost
- Can damage optic lenses if contact occurs
- More expensive if dropped/damaged
Polymer Offset Sights (This Product):
- Lightweight - minimal weight addition
- Cost-effective solution
- Won't scratch or crack optic lenses
- Impact-resistant and durable
- Excellent value for the functionality
For offset/backup sights (secondary sighting system), polymer offers the best balance of performance, weight, and value.
