Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed specifically for the Trijicon Miniature Rifle Optic, so it is not a universal mount for other optics.
  • The co-witness / lower-third co-witness height choice is application-dependent, and lower 1/3 is the taller option.
  • The QD Auto Lock lever is adjustable without proprietary tools, but setup still requires choosing the preferred lock direction and rail fit.
  • The mount is built around 6061 T6 aluminum with a hard coat Type 3 Mil-Spec anodize, which may be more than needed for simple range use but suits a dedicated optic setup.
