So, I have a Mark II and think, sometimes, I want a micro green dot site [rather than red dot, since I have slight astigmatism],...and wandered which method there is to have the LOWEST mounting possible? Mine has no drilled and tapped holes for a scope mount, FYI.
 
This is what I used, but it isn’t low:


Picatinny Mount

This mounts to a pic rail and is set up for a RMR footprint . I used it with a Liberty

Liberty & Justice Red Dot Sight

3/23/25/23 Liberty and Justice are the all new open reflex dot sights intended for every day carry and competition on pistols, carbines, and shotguns. Narrower and shorter than our previous Kingslayer series, Liberty and Justice are made from tough 7075 aluminum and packed with advanced features...

This is what the dot and mount look like. It’s mounted on a Henry .22, but you get the idea:

Yeah. No holes. I think I saw something that replaced the rear site. Don't know what it was called.
 
That looks like it. Might look kinda odd, but that might be the only way of getting a green dot on my Mark II. Thanks!
 
Well, several months later, I returned the Holosun because I ultimately didn't like it. I felt the lense distorted what I was looking at, and the frame was a bit too thick. And really, the green dot wasn't much [if any] more clear than a red dot. I ended up getting a Vortex Frenzy, for a lot less than the Holosun, and like it a lot. I'll take a pic of it as some point this weekend.
 
If youre still on the lookout for "lower", you may want to look at Holosun again. I just got one of their SCS_MOS sights for my Glock 26, and it goes on the gun without a plate and sits low enough to cowitness the factory iron sights. Only comes with a green dot too, with three options, dot, circle with a cross or just a circle.

Heres the 26 with the SCS on it...

Compared to a 407C on a slde cut for a RMR footprint with no plate. Cant see the irons with this one unless I go with suppressor sights.....

trackskippy, that is definitely low!!

doubleh, I may do that. The sight has a sort of "rear sight" part on it, but it doesn't really hit where the front sight is at.

So far, I do like this sight. And For less than $100, I'm impressed.

Thanks for the likes, everyone.
