Co witness with the iron sights in the bottom 1/3 of the red dots field of view leaving the top 2/3 unobstructed by anything for optimal performance.

I like the XS offset sights since they are lower profile, easier to get directly over the bore when you rotate and they are basically pistol sights for close range. I am thinking if a magnified optic goes down you may have time to remove it and flip BUIS, now if you need to transition to close range quickly you can rotate and continue on. I prefer the fixed low profile 45 sights than needing to flip up my 45’s.

I just jabbed my flash hider into some cardboard and then marked with a pen when I looked down the sights. Took a measurement and it was 2.135”. I wasn’t precise when I marked or measured, so I may be off a few thousandths.
The biggest issue I see is people think they have 45deg sights and that they must rotate the rifle 45 to get the sights vertical. All that is needed is for the rifle to be rotated enough to get the dot/sight picture over the barrel centerline. If one rotates to where the sights are true vertical, then the sights are to the left of the barrel centerline.
Ironically, I also find a lot of utility in having the rifle 'overrotated' in some instances, and using that to get a little bit more offset, or if I'm jammed up somewhere awkward trying to drive an unwieldy thing left-handed, they're actually quite good for the same reasons. It's not a clean cheekweld or anything close to it, but if I can see an FSP through any form of ring, I'm in solid shape.
