I have a "Vortex Optics Razor Red Dot Sight Matte, 3 MOA Dot" on a Ruger Mark II  this sight does not have shake awake feature so while it is OK for target I would not recommend it for a carry gun.  I have a Holosun 508T on a carry gun. The new 507 with the chevron reticle  might be a better choice.  Holosun and Trijicon RMR share the same footprint.

thanks for the suggestion but i prefer vortex rds

ive had outstanding experience with vortex and have them on all but a few of my firearms
(those that have aimpoints)

if i cant get the razor to work than the RMR is the second option

again thanks for your thoughts

I really liked how clear the glass was on the Leupold Delta Point.  The up side of the Vortex is the warranty.  The down side is it does not have the shake awake feature. But if you are having a problem finding the plate you may have to consider other options.  I like the SRO but it is fragile so not a good carry choice.  Some rds have a very strong tint which I find objectionable.

Hey there, our apologies for the delayed response on this. Unfortunately the Razor will not fit your M&P with the Core system. The Viper or Venom would be a better solution, below is some additional clarification in regards to why:
  • Viper: best suited to handguns with slide cutouts. While it's lower profile, it also has a bottom-loaded battery. This lends itself better if CCW is your primary application.
  • Venom: the Venom has a slightly larger window and top-loaded battery. While it would certainly still work for CCW applications, it's worth pointing out that it has a bit larger overall size.
The only other solution would be looking into an adapter plate. Amerigun USA may be able to make this for you: http://www.amerigunusa.com/

No worries - we can get you taken care of if you're interested in either the Venom or Viper red dot instead of looking for a custom plate from AmerigunUSA. If you can shoot me an email at [email protected] we'll go from there. - Kathryn

Awesome - the Razor shares the same footprint as the C-More, so you should actually be good to go! Always happy to help and if you ever need anything in the future don't hesitate to reach out.
