Alrighty, I'm going to get a new midlength barrel, and want to replace the standard front sight base with a flip up sight. Which one will give me the best bang for the buck?

thanks

Best bang for the buck I think is the YHM for $75

But the best is the PRI - for $179

Best bang for the buck is definitely YHM... great product.

We have 'em in stock for $64.95.

I would like to know what makes the PRI so much better than the YHM?? I have seen the YHM and it looks like a nice unit (didn't have a chance to fondle one though), and I believe that it is all steel. I have never seen the PRI in person, but I believe the tower and hood are aluminum. I find it hard to believe that the quality is that much better to justify the price difference.

Please enlighten me...

(Not trying to flame anybody, just trying to figure this out )

+1 for the YHM.
The PRI is nice, but in no way could I justify it being worth twice the price.

the pri is built much more solid, the flip locking mechanism is much sturdier, clamping is more solid, overall a much better flip up and imo well worth the price
