Co-witnessing iron sights with a dot sight.

[BadMuther]

I wanted to hear some opinions on this.

Right now I'm running an trijicon reflex on a flat-top AR. Works pretty good for me. I do need to get some sort of backup sight.

My next AR rifle will be a flattop Ar with a flip-up front site/FU rear. One of my friends has a regular AR with a trijicon reflex site mounted on a carry handle mount that goes over the front handguards. Co-witnesses perfectly. I hate it.

I feel as if co witnessing the iron sites detracts from the speed of using a dot site and unnecessarily complicates the aiming process.

From reading some of the other threads in this section, some folks are for co-witnessing.

Let's hear the pro's and cons.
