Optics Ready Pistol FAQ
Do I need suppressor height sights with a red dot?
Not always. Taller sights let you see the irons through the dot window as a backup, called co-witness. Some optics ready pistols ship with them already.
Does optics ready mean the plate is included?
Often, but not always. Pistols that use plates usually include some of them. The listing says what comes in the box.
