Hi Conrad, thanks for sharing and we’re glad you enjoyed our review. Co-witness sights are basically the combination of iron sights and holographic/red dot optics. When using an absolute co-witness setup, your electronic sight will be zeroed-in directly in line with your iron sights and will appear in the center of your view. 1/3 co-witness is essentially the same thing but your line of sight is much clearer. This is because the electronic sight is raised (sometimes through a “riser”) which opens up your view window. Imagine a square: with absolute co-witness, your sights are front and center, whereas with a 1/3 co-witness they are resting on the bottom of your view.
Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions or want anything else clarified.

I’ve read other comparisons and yours gave me the most useful overview.
I bought my first AR/MSR about a month ago and have not yet had a chance to shoot it. Work, winter weather, holiday obligations, etc. It will serve as a target gun,home defense, recreational outlet, and something my wife and I can do together.
I’ve always been a target shooter but wanted something that would let me get out to 300 or more yards. I’ve already purchased a scope for longer distances, but was looking for a “holo” site for use between 25 and 100 yards. I’ve pretty well settled on the EOtech EXPS2 with single dot, but I’m still working on the co-witness thing. Not sure which will suit me best. I have a Springfield Armory Saint, so my front sight is fixed in place, with a filip up rear sight. Not sure what I’ll see as a sight picture thru the EXPS2, lower third or absolute co witness. I’m also not sure if it will really make a difference to me in the uses I have in mind. Can you maybe give me a little clarification on the co witness thing? Thanks
