Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work with any red dot other than the Holosun 509T?
The AD-509T QR Low is specifically designed and machined to interface with the Holosun 509T footprint. It is not a universal mount and will not accept optics with different footprints, such as the Trijicon RMR or Leupold DeltaPoint Pro. For best fit and function, use it exclusively with the Holosun 509T.
How reliable is the return-to-zero after removing and reattaching the optic?
American Defense Mfg. mounts are widely regarded for exceptional return-to-zero performance. The Patented QD Auto Lock Lever provides consistent clamping pressure and superior rail engagement each time the mount is reattached, making it trusted by competitive shooters and military users who cannot afford zero shift between sessions.
Is the "Low" mount height appropriate for use on an AR-15 or AR pistol with standard iron sights?
The low mount profile positions the Holosun 509T closer to the bore, which is well-suited for AR pistols and compact platforms where a lower optical axis improves cheek weld and sight picture. For co-witness with standard-height AR iron sights, you may prefer a lower-1/3 or absolute co-witness height — confirm your preferred sight height before ordering.
