Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed specifically for the Trijicon Miniature Rifle Optic, so it is not a universal mount for other optics.
  • It is set up for co-witness or lower-third co-witness height, which may not match every shooter’s preferred optic height.
  • The QD Auto Lock lever is adjustable and can be configured front or rear, but that added flexibility may require a bit more setup than a fixed mount.
  • Compatibility with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems is a strength, but users should still verify fit on their specific rail before relying on it.
