They almost got it right - NcSTAR Gen II Quick Release Carry Handle For Micro Dot

The idea is great. the rear sight position in front of the red dot lines up nice. the rear section is about one groove short for many red dots that I tried. the ones that work are the ones with small puc base ir short screw to screw distance in order for both mount screws to grab the pic portion. I looked through my collection of red dots and found one that fits as the two screws are closer to each other than many others. They had a good idea but failed in every area. edges are sharp, the QD levers work but not really well. needs a lot if adjustments, both with an allen screw and a nut. the licking mechanism is hard to operate, so dont tighten things up too much because you'll only have to loosen the nut and screw adjustment to take it apart so whats the point of QD. should have just left it straight screw clamp style attachment. It seems to be best for my shorty A2 front sight style firearm. the flip up sight lines up and it does co-witness, but,, its just short of being a nice top tier product. for the money its ok, i would not go to battle with this without it being redesigned and made a but mire robust. still its a great idea but executed poorly. It would be ashame to put a 400.00 mini red dot on a cheapo unit like this. for the money its ok for the "truck gun" shorty or AR pistol. it allows for both A2 front sight or flip up front sight, and a red dot type sight. Its ok for something different, too bad a little more engineering was not put into the mechanisims that are used for the flip up sight, the QD lock down system, and a little more attention to sharp edges.
