Calculated Kinetics - MAC 9 DS Optic Plate with Holosun EPS

The Calculated Kinetics MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is designed to enhance your shooting experience by providing a reliable co-witness solution. It ensures seamless integration with the Military Armament Corporation MAC 9 DS series by aligning the Holosun EPS optic with the included Angry Bear Arms front iron sight. This setup allows for improved accuracy and faster target acquisition, making it an essential component for precision shooting in both tactical and competitive scenarios.

The lower 1/3rd co-witness setup provided by the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate allows the shooter to use both the optic and iron sights simultaneously. This configuration means that the red dot from the Holosun EPS appears in the lower third of the optic window, while the iron sights are fully visible through the same window. This setup is beneficial in situations where the optic might fail or when transitioning between targets, as it provides a backup aiming solution without needing to adjust your shooting stance.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is constructed from 7075 hard anodized aluminum, ensuring durability and longevity. This material choice provides a robust platform that can withstand the rigors of frequent use, making it suitable for both tactical applications and competitive shooting environments. The hard anodized finish adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear, maintaining the plate's integrity over time.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate comes with all necessary mounting hardware to ensure a secure installation. Included are 6-48 X 0.25" screws for attaching the plate to your firearm, M3 X 9MM screws for securing the optic to the plate, a Torx Bit, and a small tube of Vibratite. These components are essential for achieving a stable and reliable setup, preventing any movement or misalignment during use.

While this specific optic plate is configured for the Holosun EPS, Calculated Kinetics offers a range of plates for other optic footprints. These include options for RMR, ACRO, and MPS footprints, each designed with their own specific co-witness heights. If you require compatibility with a different optic, you can select the appropriate plate to ensure proper alignment and functionality with your chosen sight system.

The Angry Bear Arms front iron sight included with the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate plays a crucial role in achieving the lower 1/3rd co-witness. It is specifically designed to align with the integrated rear iron sights, providing a consistent and reliable backup aiming solution. This is particularly important in scenarios where the optic may be obstructed or fail, ensuring you maintain accuracy and target acquisition capabilities.

By aligning the Holosun EPS with the Angry Bear Arms front sight, the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate facilitates faster target acquisition. The co-witness setup ensures that your sight picture remains consistent, allowing for quick transitions between targets. This is particularly advantageous in dynamic shooting environments where speed and precision are critical. The optic plate's design minimizes the need for adjustments, keeping you focused on the target.

Installing the MAC 9 DS Optic Plate requires the use of the provided Torx Bit and Vibratite to ensure a secure fit. The process involves attaching the plate to your firearm using the 6-48 X 0.25" screws, followed by securing the Holosun EPS optic with the M3 X 9MM screws. Applying Vibratite to the threads helps prevent loosening over time, maintaining the integrity of the installation even under repeated recoil.

The MAC 9 DS Optic Plate is well-suited for competitive shooting due to its robust construction and precise alignment capabilities. The 7075 hard anodized aluminum ensures durability, while the lower 1/3rd co-witness setup provides a reliable backup sighting system. These features make it an excellent choice for shooters who require consistent performance and accuracy in high-pressure competitive environments.

When selecting an optic plate for your MAC 9 DS, consider the type of optic you intend to use and the desired co-witness setup. Different plates are available for various optic footprints, such as RMR, ACRO, and MPS, each offering specific co-witness heights. It's important to ensure that the plate you choose aligns with your shooting style and the scenarios you anticipate encountering, whether in tactical situations or competitive shooting.
