❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the best red dot for a Glock 19 MOS?
The Trijicon RMR Type 2 and Holosun 507C X2 are popular for Glock 19 MOS due to their durability, dot clarity, and RMR footprint compatibility.
Can I mount a red dot on a non-MOS pistol?
Yes. You can add a red dot using a dovetail mount or by having your slide milled for a specific footprint.
What’s the difference between RMR and RMSc?
RMR footprint optics are larger and better for full-size pistols. RMSc is a micro footprint used on slimline pistols like the Glock 43X or SIG P365.
Is an enclosed emitter red dot better?
For daily carry or use in bad weather, an enclosed emitter like the Holosun EPS Carry or Aimpoint Acro P-2 protects the glass and emitter from dirt, water, or debris.
Will my red dot co-witness with my iron sights?
Yes — with the right suppressor-height sights or mounting plate, you can achieve lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness.
