Sight co-witnessDepends on your front sight height, which can vary by SKU and production run within one model. Standard-height irons: no co-witness. Suppressor-height irons: normally a lower-third co-witness on a direct cut. Mounted directly, the optic sits as low as the cut allows, the best case for a co-witness. That's the typical case for this kind of optic, not a guarantee: pistols don't standardize sight and optic heights the way rifles do.

Docter / Noblex footprintThe oldest common pattern, and fading, but still the reason GLOCK MOS plate 01 exists.
