This video details the complexities of mounting pistol-style optics, specifically those with a DeltaPoint Pro (DPP) footprint, onto various firearms and mounts. The presenter highlights that despite sharing a common footprint, optics and mounts often have compatibility issues due to variations in deck height, recoil lug dimensions, and mounting plate designs. The core problem is achieving usable co-witness with backup iron sights, which is frequently hindered by optics with excessive deck height or mounts that don't properly interface with the optic's recoil lugs.

This video explains the limitations of Glock's factory MOS adapter plates, specifically how the O2 plate fits larger optics like the Holosun 507C but not smaller footprints. It introduces the 'K plate' as a solution for users wanting to mount smaller optics on their MOS-cut slides, addressing a common demand.

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 Gen 3 introduces significant improvements over previous generations, primarily addressing optic and foregrip compatibility when folded. Unlike the Gen 1 and Gen 2, the Gen 3 allows users to retain mounted optics and foregrips due to a redesigned pivot mechanism that rotates the Picatinny slots. This addresses a major limitation of earlier models where optics prevented folding. The Gen 3 is expected to be available in 9mm, initially in a Glock 19 variant, and notably, it does not come with iron sights from the factory, indicating an expectation for users to mount optics.
