I would personally want the red dot not pre installed. Get used to the u dot sights. After that co-witnessing will be ingrained.

Hi Barry and welcome. Unboxing video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXKUacQ_5xk -- Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Barry, I do not see any Hellcats that says the optic comes preinstalled. Not sure why that would be a deal breaker, they are very easy to install. If you list the exact model, maybe we can give you a definite answer. Stay safe & have a great day!
