Aside from the obvious bulkiness issues, I think my main concern would be how well it would hold zero with such a big distance between the attachment point and the optic.
Found this the other day:

Anyone have experience with these? I was thinking of getting one for my CZ-75 SP-01. I have a red dot and a CZ, so why not put them together?!
Mainly I am just wondering how well it stays on the gun, and just whether it is a solid purchase or just something I should pass up.
EDIT:
I imagine racking the slide with one of these would be problematic.

They will bounce a little but you don't see it. They will hold to zero well. The mount is for those that are going to use it for certain competitions. It's not for anything else.
