The last thread got archived. So I figure I'll get another one started. It's always cool to have threads like this.......especially with the advent of so many other companies milling slides, or offering complete slides that are ready for T1s, RMRs, Delta Points, etc.
Archived Thread - http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_4/133024_Can_we_start_a_Red_Dot_Pistol_picture_thread_.html Here's something a bit different than just gun porn - Unity Tactical ATOM G19 w/ X300 Ultra. You can't tell from the pic, but the optic can still be turned up high enough to not be washed out by 500 lumens on a semi-glossy surface, such as the flag.....the dot is still at "fire of a thousand suns intensity".

Is that a 12 ga barrel/magazine extension clamp?  How well does it work with the dot clamped on the barrel that way? I suppose for a plinker it works OK, but it seems like the clamp could slip on the barrel?

OK, my new Smith and Wesson MP9 CORE. This is cut to accept Reflex optics from the get go. APEX Seer added and one heck of a smooth trigger. This sight is one of the Chinese reflex sights that Victor (a long time arfcomer) was selling a couple of years ago, the darn thing works really well, and I will put it back on a K Dot as a back up on Friday when my Insight MRDS is in

I used it as a joke, but It works surprisingly well. Though for some reason it doesn't always return to zero after reinstallation. The clamp's tight enough that the sight isn't going anywhere, especially when the recoil is little to none. Obviously it would be an unreasonable solution on most any other pistol.

Intresting comment, looks to me as if the majority of us with optics have tanks , several of them including myself saw a pretty fair amount of combat. Saturday I'll be shooting with a group with optics, all cops, all have survived at least one gun fight. |

I've only shot a Buckmark with a holosight, but it was stupid easy to hit with the thing. Anything that gives you an advantage has a place. Should we all go back to iron sights on our rifles too? |

| This coming weekend I will be training with several LEO's with Optics. It will be my second training session and we are going to have several LEO's who have never used Optics on a handgun. I'll try to post some pictures that don't show faces. The two Optics I know of will be the MRDS and the RMR. |

what am I looking at? Quoted:
what am I looking at? It is a highly modified 1911 in 40 cal built for a now-defunct "division" of IPSC. It has a highly ported barrel and is designed to shoot 180 to 200 grain bullets at 900 fps or so with as little recoil as possible. It holds about 18 rounds. The division rules had a "size box" that the gun had to fit into. Other than size and caliber, just about any modification was allowed. |

I think it was intended to keep red dots off the gun, then someone chopped down the front of the slide and made the gun fit the box diagonally. I love the innovation displayed. Not my guns:

Picked up the FDE Trijicon RMR today.

I'm trying to decide what dot I want to get, currently I'm thinking the RMR07 but also curious to see the delta point pro when it comes out. Also his holster need some work. I see a couple gloss points, old school blocking of the ejection port, and a horn on the sight channel. It's all about time and practice. |

Yes I went through a Chinese copy of the J Point that Victor- (long time arfcomer) was marketing several years ago as he was getting started. Then I put a Insight MRDS on it and I was impressed. IF it co-witnessed I would still have it on. Two of my instructors who happen to be LEO's (one Fed, one TPD) took Suarez's class on using optics and came back with great drills that work. Co-witnessing does increase the learning curve in using these optics. That said I had little trouble in using the MRDS and had trained for it by using my M4 with the MRDS on it. When I was used to the sight on the M-4 I put it on the CORE and I was surprised at how it increased the distance I was getting first round hits. Then I used one of the Glocks the other guys had and did their drills with the RMR that co-witnessed, I saw a quick improvement in shots between 7-15 meters. The Army has approved the MRDS and the RMR for use and very special units  can use them.
So my advice is get one of the sights that will go-witness (I understand that all next generation sights will co-witness0 So I suggest depending on you budget, RMR, Leupold, Burris fast fire II, (not III) J point, Chinese copy of J point. Docter2. |

It is a good sight though and I suspect a Glock or FN could be machined that extra 1/32nd of an inch to see the top of the front sight enough to make it a quick find. |
