I think the rail should be fine.....The iron sights are attached to it. So I'm thinking if the rail isI just don't think I'd trust that polymer rail to keep it in place firmly enough. I'm staying with iron sights on mine.

no good for a red dot then it wouldn't be good for the iron sights either, or am I missing something.
Optics are heavier, and more top heavy, so they are harder to hold in place, but I would not hesitate to mount on they poly rail. You will be fine if you get a dot that has a quality mount, and holds zero.
Hi Point mounts truglo red dots on carbines from the factory so it should be fine. I would stick with a 1x red dot, it is a Hi Point after all.
They are a lot of fun to shoot.
