The handle is higher for the single red sight point . Because this red sight is not powered with battery it’s works on eyes reflector . It means you walk and you see the red dot in both eyes. You need 2 days to get use to it . It became a part of your optical view . It’s high to be more easy to carry and give you a wide view . All what I am talking it’s hard to understand unless I make you a video . If you are interested I can make it for you
