I don’t see anyone carrying this thing concealed, but as a field optic, it seems very good. The mounting system is much better in person than I thought it would be, and the quality is typical Trijicon. Mounted on an M&P 45 or an HK45, I think it will do well for my field pistol needs. I will probably not shoot this a ton, but we will see how it does over time.
The picture shows the 9 shots it took to zero the gun. In very gusty winds. I will refine the zero next time, but for now, it hits 6″ plates at 50 yards without issue.
SLG, question: is my observation that there are very few iron sight / red dot combinations that actually co-witness true ? rifle sights seems to work pretty well together, but handgun sights seems to seldom match up and when they do the iron sights are very tall and prone to snag ?
my condolences on your recent loss, prayers for your time of grief
Thank you. And yes, you are correct. Most people find it undesirable to have a true co-witness with either rifle or pistol sights. I prefer just the tiniest amount of irons to be visible through the optic.
