Basically its a pistol red dot sight that lays flat like a BUIS. Designed for the Glock MOS it fits on RMR cuts/mounts.

Downside? Other than the fact that it's made by NC Star, I could easily see this thing losing zero due to the hood flipping up slightly off (or maybe a lot off) from where it was when you zeroed it.

I see recoil causing all sorts of issues.

I'm awaiting a extremely low profile sight that attaches to a rail. There is a lot of forearms out there with a rail and irons and I would be nice to cowitness. All the "low profile" reflex sight become not so low profile with the rail mount attached.

Yeah, I agree there too. Depends on how good the locking mechanism is when is deployed.

Knowing NC Star, probably not good.

I don't see the need. I have everyday carried a Glock or now a CZ P09 with an Dr Optic,or RMR or Delta point pro since 2001.

The Dr Optic is still going strong on my son's pistol.

Yeah, I exchanged email with David Bowie (the cop, not the musician) years and years ago about maybe doing my then M&P with a jpoint. Those things lasted forever even back then.

That said, not all sizes fit all body types and carry profiles. I see something like this as offering a solution for some of those folks that would otherwise not carry a pistol optic.

Freaking NC Star though...Man.
