Fix my gun Red dot with front sight?
Should I remove the front sight on my AR while having a red dot or should I keep it?
P.S I can see the red dot nicely appear right on top of the sight
Please critique! 🫡

The term for this if you ever want to look into it further is"cowitness sights" and I actually think it's pretty useful particularly if you ever worry about a battery dying or a malfunction with the optic. You can even get flip up sights for worst case scenario if you don't always want to see both. Or canted irons if you only want your irons on an angle
