| Anyone using this on their glock. I was looking at it instead of an rmr due to the battery location and automatic turn on feature. However it looks a bit bulkier. Just looking for opinions. I have a burris fastfire 3 but do not like it due to the auto shut off feature. |
| Have on on my 19 MOS and must say that I like it. I have a Venom on my G40 and someday that will get swapped out for a DPP. I did have to go with Dawsons on the 19 and use a custom holster by K-Rounds for OWB. For IWB days, I use a Comptac MTAC that I modified to fit with the optic with nothing needed for the high sights to clear. With the DPP's running in the mid-$300 range, it is a bargain. |

I've been using one on a milled slide for a while.
While the lens is wider and taller than an rmr, the battery compartment is slimmer. Auto on/off feature works flawlessly, it really conserves batteries and far extends life past the published terms. A top loading battery is a nice little luxury as well. Glass is almost totally devoid of blue tint, no discernable fish eye or distortion at the edges, which I can notice on am RMR. As far as durability goes, the rmr is considered the gold standard, but, given time, I think you'll see the dpp be on an even playing level, if not better. Leopold has always made durable optics and I am not nice to the two dpp's that I own. They both have noticeable scars from being used hard and I've had zero issues with them. Unity tactical now offers adapter plates for their slides to use the dpp with and Primary Machine and I think Jaegerwerks both offer slide milling. the aftermarket is slowly coming around to the dpp. All in all, if you're willing to tinker a bit with various iron sights, I can only recommend trying out the dpp |

good info what iron set up are you using. I plan on sending it to jagerwerks. |

I have one on my 17. You must machine the slide to get it low enough to run cowitnessed with Trijicon suppressor sights and run the rear sight in front of the optic for 6354DO compatibility. This just barely clears the dots at the base of the optic window. You can the run a Safariland 6354DO/6355DO holster with minor heat gun fitting to straighten the inside of the left flange that guides the optic into the hood. Depending on how far forward your rear sight is you may need to Dremel trim the rear inner structural crossmember of the ALS arm so it does not rub the rear sight. These mods are easy and self evident, taking about 5 minutes each. You will also need to trim the attachment screws about 2mm to make it short enough to get flush without an adapter plate.
That said, when you are done the 6354DO fits like a glove. With new Safariland RDS series holsters coming out, this is no longer your only option for a good retention holster, so you may be able to run on an MOS. An MOS won't work with the 6354DO. I wanted a real ALS duty grade holster, front and rear off the shelf iron sights with tritium front and rear, cowitness irons with true point of aim. I got all that. |

Hey, who did your milling that you're able to run trij suppressor sights on a DPP? As far as the new MOS safariland holsters go, I just received mine today. Initial experience is excellent. The fit between my dpp and the holster is excellent. I really think safariland is going to help usher in red dot handguns for working guns with these new holsters. |
