Pros and Cons: Mounting optics on the carry handle

[runhard]

I would like some feedback from the BTDT QP's about mounting optics on the carry handle of the M4/AR15. Pro's and Con's, experience with this, etc...

Where I work, we carry Bushmaster AR15's with EOTechs mounted on the carry handle. Personally, I dislike it. It's too high up and hard to get a target acquisition. We also mount PVS 14 night optics behind the EOTech for the weapons that are used for night hours. Again, personally, I dislike this for the fact that anything you want to look at, at night, you have to point your weapon at--Something in my line of work, can get you in trouble.

Thanks in advance.
