An EOTech or Aimpoint will work very well with your setup..

Do you have a flat top, or A2 carry handle?
For a flat top, I love the EOTech. No additional mount to buy and it co-witnesses with your BUIS perfectly. I also like the way that the 65MOA circle frames the target. For an A2, I like the Aimpoint on a bi-level rail like the ARMS 39A2 |

I knew I forgot to mention something..... the upper is a standard A2 with carry handle.

+1 on Grant's choices. Your best bet would be to install a free-floating railed handguard, and then mount your preferred optic on it. This will even give you great co-witnessing with your existing iron sights without having to buy anything else.
Another alternative is to change out the upper with an RRA 9mm flattop upper receiver. -Troy |

I was thinking about changing my 9MM upper for a flat top. I have a Colt and don't know if the quality, finish, etc will be worth it. Anyone have any opinions on the RRA uppers? Who else makes 9mm uppers ?

i have an a2 olympic arms 9mm with an aimpoint mounted on the carry handle with a aimpoint gooseneck and qrp mount. it's a pretty nice set up, but i have to get a new aimpoint because the dot is starting wash out during the day (it is OLD.)

I just switched to using a Bushnell Holosight mounted on a PRI rail on my A2 upper (from a cheap BSA red dot/gooseneck mount). Haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but so far everything looks good.

Anybody have any pics to share of these different setups?
I don't know that I am open to change out uppers, and I think I'd like to keep what I have. Thanks for all of the input, everyone! -John |

I've got an EO Tech 512.A65 on my 9mm carbine, on a standard flattop upper (uppers are available for $85 and up in the EE). I've used an AimPoint with equally great results.

On top is a PCR-45 with heavy barrel, rail "gas block" and free float handguards. On the back is a ACE ARFX-E stock and a Bushnell Holosight with the metal shield. On the bottom is a PCR-9 with a SOCOM block, handguard rail, some generic VFG and a PRI mount with a Bushnell Holosight.
