Any red dot owners?

[Alan]

For those who rely on a red dot sight for their firearms, what window sizes and optic heights have you found to be the most reliable over time? I'm really interested to know if folks are leaning towards absolute co-witness, lower 1/3, or opting for no iron sights at all. Please share your setup, including your platform, dot model, mounting method, and iron sight configuration for context.

For my ARs, Im firmly in the lower third camp. I run an Aimpoint T2 on a Scalarworks 1.93" mount along with backup iron sights. The taller mount just feels more comfortable for my shooting style. The window size isn’t a huge concern for me since I shoot with both eyes open. On my home defense shotgun, I have an absolute co-witness with a Holosun 507C. It keeps everything compact and I want those iron sights right there if the dot decides to fail at dawn .
