In the world of tactical gear, innovation often comes in small packages that make a big difference. The UNITY Tactical FAST (Field Adaptable Sight Technology) mounts are prime examples of such game-changing equipment. As highlighted in Big Tex Ordnance’s weekly update, these mounts are designed to enhance the user experience for both Eotech and T2 footprint optics.
The FAST mount series is engineered with a singular purpose: to provide shooters with a quicker sight picture compared to standard height mounts. By elevating the optic to a 2.26″ optical centerline height, these mounts offer several key advantages:
The higher mount promotes a more natural, heads-up posture. This allows for better situational awareness and reduces neck strain, especially when wearing helmets, plate carriers, or other heavy gear. The elevated position makes it easier to use your optic while wearing electronic ear protection, communication headsets, night vision goggles, or gas masks. The higher sight line allows for quicker reticle acquisition, potentially shaving crucial milliseconds off your response time in high-stress situations. Some models, like the FAST Micro Mount, feature integrated backup iron sights. This clever design keeps your weapon uncluttered without sacrificing capability. UNITY offers mounts for various optic types, including models for Aimpoint Micro footprints (which covers many popular red dots from Sig Sauer, Holosun, and Vortex) and risers for EOTech and similar optics.

Constructed from durable 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a Type III Hardcoat Anodization, these mounts are built to withstand the rigors of hard use. They’re available in black or FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finishes to match your preferred aesthetic.
For those concerned about quick-detach capabilities, many UNITY mounts are compatible with aftermarket QD levers, offering rapid mounting and dismounting when needed.
In a world where every advantage counts, the UNITY Tactical FAST mounts offer a simple yet effective way to upgrade your optics setup. Whether you’re a professional operator or a dedicated enthusiast, these mounts could be the key to unlocking improved performance and comfort with your favorite optic.
