I just purchased a Canik 9mm with red dot. My first red Hand gun.
The red dot is not mounted on the gun. iron sights are.
I will not go into some of the silly things I had to go through to correctly mount the red dot.
I have been E-Mail contact with Robert at Canik.
After fully mounted. I attempted to bore sight.
I lined the front sight top edge with the bottom edge of the red dot window.
The red dot is at the very top of the red dot window.
I loosened the two locking screws in the base. I turned the up/down screw CCW.
I could not bring it down.
I asked Robert. he messaged back that,

The iron front sight is not going to co-witness with a RMR optic on this firearm. If you have an RMR installed you will need to completely ignore the iron front sight. "
I thought they should be on the same plane.
Red dot users please inform me how you use the red dot sight.
