This video discusses the necessity of suppressor height sights on handguns, particularly when using a red dot sight. The speaker argues that standard height sights can obstruct the red dot's window, especially with smaller RMRs. While suppressor height sights are beneficial for co-witnessing with a suppressor, the speaker suggests standard sights can still be usable even with a suppressor attached, by superimposing them over the target.

Quick Summary

Suppressor height sights are beneficial for handguns, especially when using a red dot optic, as they prevent standard iron sights from obstructing the optic's window. While not strictly required, they offer a clearer co-witness with suppressors and a better field of view.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are suppressor height sights important for handguns?

Suppressor height sights are crucial because they elevate your iron sights, ensuring they remain visible and usable even when a suppressor is attached to your firearm. This prevents the suppressor from blocking your line of sight.

Can standard height sights be used with a suppressor?

Yes, standard height sights can often be made to work with a suppressor. You can superimpose them over your target. However, suppressor height sights provide a much clearer and more convenient co-witnessing experience.

How do iron sights affect a red dot sight's window?

Standard height iron sights can significantly obstruct the window of a red dot sight on a handgun. This reduces your field of view and can make it harder to acquire your target quickly and gather visual information.

What is the advantage of a higher optic window?

A higher optic window, meaning one less obstructed by iron sights, provides a clearer field of view. This allows the shooter to gather more visual information and focus on the red dot without distraction from the irons.
