QD Mechanism and Cowitness Positioning

Quick-detach mounts give you the option to strip your red dot and reattach it without losing zero—a genuine advantage when you're rotating between multiple uppers or need to move your sight to a backup rifle. The 1/3 cowitness setup sits your dot above the bore, allowing your iron sights to frame the target naturally. This configuration works on most modern platforms. Before finalizing your setup, review our California-compliant handgun catalog for matching accessories. TacticCAL is your local gun shop in the Bay Area.

Frequently asked questions

Will this mount hold zero after detaching and reattaching the red dot?

Yes. Quality quick-detach mounts like the Midwest MK2 are engineered to return to zero reliably across multiple attach-detach cycles. Proper seating is critical—ensure the QD ring fully engages each time.

Does the 1/3 cowitness height work with all rifle platforms?

The 1/3 cowitness is standard on modern flat-top AR-pattern receivers and most modern sporting rifles. If your upper receiver has a non-standard rail height, verify compatibility before purchase.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. Find gun shop Saratoga at TacticCAL.
