So you’ve got a red dot optic on your handgun, and some back up iron sights, do they work together? Should I slave the dot to the sights? What about co-witness this or that? Well this topic comes up a lot and we’ve got you covered.
In this video we talk about what the dot does, and what the iron sights do and how you should be using the dot when shooting. Hopefully this answers a lot of the questions out there, but if not, please leave a comment so we can help out. Or better yet send a question to [email protected].
