    Primary Arms = WIN. I have the $$ versions and its hard to tell the difference. Would I trust my life with one???? Why not? Just because its cheap doesn't mean it sucks. Mine works every time and holds zero, just like its overpriced counterparts that I own. If I need one in a hurry, I won't be picky about the one I grab out of the safe.

    the high mount says for lower 1/3 co-witness, so will the standard low mount be an absolute co-witness? I like my red dots mounted lower and like absolute co-witness myself.

    thanks,

    I hate to quote my own post, but time is limited on this deal. Anyone know the answer?

    thanks!

    The M3 and M4 are two very different animals; the M3 is far more versatile, as it has a separate rather than integrated mount. Also, the multi-reticle stuff is gimmicky. Get the M3... It's SO worth $49, it's a crazy deal. My brother and Dog Guy each bought one, even though they don't have a plan for them yet ;)

    That doesn't sound right, especially if you're reporting a lower 1/3 cowitness.

    Do you have a picture of the setup?

    I don't, that's because I sold the irons. Once i put a new set of irons on though I will take a pic. Now I have the M4, not the M3, but even still I have the low mount that came with it. Maybe my site sits higher then the M3, but it still says to buy the higher mount on the site (though I'm do not remember reading that on there when I bought mine?). I'll get a pic when I add new sights.

    Belay my last. I just reread they page and straight up says for the M4 "mount height gives lower 1/3.....). I'm dumb.
