The AOS system supports RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro, and Docter optics, with each mounting plate integrating a rear sight for proper optic height and reliable co-witnessing. The pistol ships with two 9-round magazines with bumper pads, and tritium front sights pair with a white dot rear for both day and low-light use.
