Yes, of course. The dot doesn't need anything else to work ... much like a scope. Co-witness is for backup in case the RDS fails.

I like lower 1/3 co-witness because the field of view is clearer than it would be in absolute co-witness.

If I was a rich boy, I would put a magnifier behind my Aimpoint on a LaRue pivot mount.

In fact, I will have it some day... oh yes, I will!

I use an Aimpoint on a Larue mount with a regular front sight base and Troy Folding Battle sights (rear)... this gives me a lower 1/3 co-witness. I have considered getting the magnifier, but I haven't found a need for it yet.
