ACTUAL LOWER 1/3 HEIGHT

With a red dot optic on the pistol, factory sights usually no longer co-witness. Ideally, your iron sights should sit in the lower third of the optic window. This keeps the dot as the primary aiming reference while still allowing the factory sights to be immediately usable if your optic goes down. Too high, they crowd the window. Too low, they’re useless.

DURABLE AND RELIABLE

Backup sights should be steel and be securely mounted. They need to withstand recoil and still hold zero as well as standing up to the toughest conditions. If they can’t handle real use, they don’t belong on your pistol.

VISABILITY IN CHANGING LIGHT

Iron sights need to be visible in low light conditions. Tritium inserts help maintain front sight visibility in poorly lit areas and transitional lighting conditions.

A CLEAN, SIMPLE SIGHT PICTURE

Your sight picture needs to be clean and simple to use. Often, the traditional three dot iron sight picture overwhelms red dot shooters. When your dot is working, your focus is on the threat, and the factory sights are almost “forgotten”. If the dot fails, the transition to irons should feel natural and intuitive under stress.

Meprolight^® designed the CRIS (Co-Witness Reflex Illuminated Sight), with these four principles guiding the process. Built from steel, with a blacked-out tritium front and serrated rear, they provide a streamlined sight picture enabling the user to stay in the fight if their optic goes down. CRIS sights fit Glock dovetail cuts and are guaranteed to co-witness with Mepro Pistol Optics on Glock handguns. Additional dovetail options are coming soon.
