I have a light/laser on the rail so i can have both.
Red dot. Iron sights aren't as easy to use in the dark, even with fibre optic or tritium paint.
red dots are great but when mounted to the slide they take a crazy amount of g force. so buy a name brand . Or get a mount that attaches to the frame
I have a Burris Fastfire on a Ruger Mark IV, takes some getting used to. Snapping to point with irons is natural to me; I find myself twisting the gun to find the dot sometimes.
I've been thinking of getting a glock or two milled, opinions on what best placement/milling option is?
I have the optics (Holosun) installed in front of the rear site. I had the gunsmith mill out the slides while leaving the existing site groove in place.
Yeah to my knowledge that was the only way to go till I saw the jagerworks site.
They make it look like putting the backup in front might be better, and the SRO looks like a huge window compared to the RMR. I'm tempted to just ditch the rear backup on one of mine since I've heard the sights turn useless once a suppressor heats up.
I don't have optics on my carbines, just on two pistols, and I don't have suppressors on them. I like the higher sights with the optic so I can put the red dot right on top of the front post.
