What's the best red dot setup for your carry gun?

[Alan]

For those who rely on a red dot sight for their firearms, what window sizes and optic heights have you found to be the most reliable over time? I'm really interested to know if folks are leaning towards absolute co-witness, lower 1/3, or opting for no iron sights at all. Please share your setup, including your platform, dot model, mounting method, and iron sight configuration for context.

The only RDS I run on handguns is a Bushnell RXS-50 on my Browning Buck Mark 5.5 Field and a Vortex Venom on my Ruger SRH .44 Mag. Co-witness on both of them. None of my EDC handguns have a RDS on them. I prefer them that way.

I like the original Leupold Deltapoint Pro with the 7.5 triangle reticle on my STI 10 mm 2011. I use the tip of the triangle for precision longrange shooting while the big 7.5 moa triangle is quick for up close work. I also run a Steiner DBAL visible / IR laser module.

To me a carry gun Is about size and weight and I do not find red dot to be a necessity
