I recently paired a holographic with a flip-to-side magnifier (G3 + XPS2), and its been rather swell for me. The only problem would be if you wanna set the gun down somewhere, but like, just move the magnifier. Its really nice and ergonomic overall, and if I had the option to, I'd definitely get another again.
Cheek weld doesnt get messed up for me, and I went with this combo to cowitness with irons, which honestly works out better than I would've expected at first. Open to answering other concerns or questions on my system, 'cuz gotdamn was it hard to find information on setups like these back when I was looking.
A red dot with a magnifier is nice but really a different sock full of fish than a dedicated magnified optic with a red dot.
