Huben What is the best red dot for the gk1?

Mike,
I have both a GK1 Ver. 1 and Ver. 3. I also have several Reflex Sights. I am not going to recommend a brand because it is not definitive. I have now also shot thousands of rounds through these guns and as stated before in other threads, I shoot every day. I shoot in many lighting conditions from very low light to bright sun. So what is important is wide field of view for quick target acquisition, 2mm dot diameter so not to block your target at longer distances, highly polished coated glass to prevent dot flaring at higher intensity and many different LED intensity levels. Just as important as the sight specs is the height above the barrel center because it effects the amount of hold over and hold under required at different distances. The lower the sight resides in relation to the barrel center the better,
That said, Those sight specs are hard to find that mount to the 11mm rail directly. I know of NO sight with those specs that mount to the 11mm rail without an adapter, but all adapters require additional height above the barrel center except the type that telescopes sideways occupying the width difference between the Picatinny 22mm standard and the 11mm rail. This style offers No height change. Lastly, mounting any sight over the receiver offers No accuracy advantage only aesthetics. If you look carefully, you can find a sight that matches these requirements on AliExpress at a low price.

Umm...NO...not...so much !
This isn't a rifle he's asking about.
A pistol works VERY well with a...down low sight.
Hell, I have a SeeAll (VERY...low) sight on one of my AP16's. Works great.

I had one of those see all sights tried it on my Beeman P11, could not get it to adjust Up or down I forgot which, The company was nice in trying to help me but I never got the thing to work right , Took it off and never tried again, Company never suggested refund or replacement , Stuck it in the ole shi--t box.

I have a brand new SeeAll sight that will never ever be used by me on an air gun. Yes they are low, which is very good, but the sight does not allow viewage of your target at distance because of pellet drop and the requirement to hold over the target. I bought it as a test for my PP700SA. It's truly useless, even open sights are better which have the same issue, but unlike open sights that have much larger distance between the front and rear sights, the SeeAll sight even very short making it very difficult to see and correct for sighting error. This sight would be a very good sight for a self defense PB pistol that has requirement to shoot longer than 10 meters.
