    Default Full cowitness or lower 1/3 with folding sights?

    Supposing you have folding sights, does it make any sense to get lower 1/3 cowitness? I'd think the lower full witness sight would feel more natural.

    If both your irons fold then a 1/3 serves no purpose.
    With fixed sights I would go with a full anyway for no variation in usage.

    Depending on the distance and accuracy needed, you may also be able to use the red dot as a "rear sight" if you use full cowitness.

    I like full cowitness because it allows me to do a quick zero check on one or the other to see if there is a major issue. Granted I'm talking uses less than 100 yards. This zero check isn't going to allow you to readjust for long ranges.

    That's a good point. I totally took for granted mine fold.

    I prefer a full cowitness across the board.
