Very interesting combination. That may be a tall order. Literally. The HD7 is not a small RDS and weighs, I think a bit over 13 ounces. Lucid's little 4.6 ounce M7 micro dot might be a better choice on a pistol build. I do have both the HD7 and M7 (actually two of the latter). Both have performed well for me, so I have no durability questions whatsoever. The M7 does not have a built in riser (whereas the HD7 is built for a lower 1/3 co-witness with its incorporated mount), and unless you are trying to co-witness with iron sights on a barrel that short, you could mount the M7 much lower, more like on a traditional pistol, too, and perhaps find the combo a bit more manageable. If you do need it higher, you can put a riser under it.
The M7 has all the same features as the HD7, but is limited to only one reticle choice, the EOTech type circle dot. I like it best anyway. I understand that Lucid may be about to release a version of the M7 with a simple dot, too. But if you have the HD7, give it a try. Its durable enough. |
