I ran that system in OIF III and IV, ACOG with JPOINT, and iron sights flipped up at all times. Worked flawlessly.

They have new ACOGs out now with the red dot, or triangle (depending on what you want) in them, which negates the need for the JPOINT on your personal civilian weapons.

I'm currently saving up for one of them for the AR that is currently in the "build" stage. They run around $750.

The biggest issue with the JPOINT mounted on top of the ACOG is the Sight to Barrel height (6-8 inches) and how that is affected at distances. There is little differences at under 25 meters, but definite issues over 50 meters, causing you calculate math in your head while simultaneously engaging targets (easy on a flat range, little more difficult on the two-way live fire range).
