ETA: Mods, can we tack this thread? Its really interesting to see the other setup's that people are using.

Can we start a "Red Dot Pistol" picture thread? Dedicated to pistols with red dot sights?

I'm interested in seeing some other peoples setups.

A few of mine-

FNX-45 Tactical w/ RMR

S&W M&P C.O.R.E. -

Glock 19 and Glock 21 Gen 4- (Milled by Mark Housel at L&M)

I want a RDS setup on my M&P something bad. Too bad S&W won't sell the CORE slide on their own.

Just send your slide off to Mark Housel at L&M Precision....it'd be cheaper than buying a whole new slide.

Speaking of which, I have a Docter Sight III on a picatinny mount and would like to attach it to my Sphinx via the dust cover picatinny rail like pictured. Too bad the Fab Arms USM is just too short to clear the slide and the SIG X-mount 3 costs almost as much as my Docter. Anyone know a decent quality picatinny/picatinny bridge mount with enough clearance?

Whatever you do, avoid the Burris FastFire 3. I had two of them, and both were fucked.

1st one - auto adjust didn't work.
2nd one- auto shut-off didn't work. Burris told me to just use the "off" button. Seriously? If it doesn't fucking work, at least offer to let me send it in.

I use Trijicon RMR's and nothing else. The Dual-Illuminated version (which I prefer) is only $100 more than the FastFire 3.

It's a Browning Buckmark Contour Lite 5.5, with a Bushnell TRS-25 sight on top. It's called "lite" because the barrel is aluminum with a steel sleeve. When I first got it, it had terrible troubles with feeding (jammed every single round), but I did some work where the feed ramp meets the chamber, and it now runs 100%. The gun balances very well, and is VERY accurate. As much as I like handguns, I'm not worth a crap with 'em, but even I can nail a 6x6-inch plate at 25 yds with it any time I want, and that's rapid fire offhand, too.

almost forgot: Out of the box, the trigger was "ok" but nothing really special. Doing the sear spring flip made a big difference in being able to nail that steel plate.

I want a rmr on a M&P bad. Only problem is I would imagine it would suck to CCW with one.

Anyone have experience with that?

Red dot alternates between FastFire and TRS-25 (and open sights about a third of the time)

My S&W M&P C.O.R.E. - just bought a Storm Lake threaded barrel, and sent it off to Mark Housel to have him Cerakote the barrel and thread protector in flat black.

Grip cut to G26 size. It's my primary CCW handgun, and I have a lot of options.

Flush G26 mag, good for wearing just a T-shirt.

G17 mag, for nightstand, range, backup mag, etc.

G26 mag with a Pearce extension. Still shorter than a G19 mag, probably my favorite balance of weight, feel, and comfort while carrying.

I never thought I'd get away with daily carry of a handgun with a light and red dot! The Lightguard is almost unbelievably lightweight.

I use a Crossbreed Supertuck deluxe. They make one for Glocks with the Lightguard. I had to trim a tiny bit of kydex for the Trijicon to clear.

I'm really thinking of picking one up (or an OKO) and putting it on my 41 along with a new "bully" barrel. I know they don't get a lot of respect from the "tactical" crowd, but they can't be all bad if they dominate the comp crowd.

What is the cheapest quality pistol in 9mm, .40 or .45 ready to mount a RMR? A M&P Core?

What would you guys recommend for a first red dot pistol?

A.I.,

How well does the RMR fit onto the slot of the CORE? Is it pretty snug, are there are gaps around the RMR? I am just curious since they milled the slide for a number of different RDS optics. If you had any close up pics of the interface, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

If by "ready to mount" you mean something that comes from the factory with iron sights that co-witness with the RMR, I'm only aware of the M&P CORE and the FN FNX Tactical. I think the M&P CORE is cheaper, but I don't know at current prices. (You can also order a Lone Wolf Glock clone with this setup, if that counts, but it will probably cost more.)

I put a dot on a Desert Eagle and then a revolver for hunting. Then added one on a 22 for practice. It depends on whether or not you need the sights as a training aid. (Some people find that having the sights there make it easier to train the body to bring the gun up where you can see the red dot properly.)
