Any cross dominant dot users out there? Any issues or tips?
Thinking about a 507 on my old Gen 2 19 or maybe a 507k on my 43x... leaning towards the 19 since it should flip less and I’ll lose the dot less. |

I'm cross dominant and no issues.
Should not cause an issue regardless. If you have both palms in contact with the grips, it doesn't matter if you shift 1" to the R to line up with R eye, or 1" to the left to line up with L eye.... |

Guys need some pros and cons here.
I've got a Gen5 mos 19 with a rmr non adjustable on top. Its a love hate relationship with this optic. Very difficult to find the dot at night with a light "on" but i should have known this. So considering selling and getting an adjustable one???? So my conundrum is i have a G17 gen4 that i want to send off to get the slide milled and defiantly getting a rmr cut. But cant decide between another rmr or a new Holosun. RMR is proven but I've never owned a Holosun before but that reticle looks awesome. Picture for attention: Attached File |

Is the Leupold DPP as problematic as the reports seem? I'm thinking about trying a red dot again and apparently these are what STIs are cut for.
I can run an SRO but it would higher, I previously used an RMR. Hopefully the gunk blown onto the glass issue was more isolated to that gun. Too bad the ACRO battery life didn't pan out. |

The RMR has the same base height with the plate as the DPP. The DPP base is pretty tall, I tried one for a couple months and went back to the SRO on my XC.
I don’t know which version of the DUO plate you have but the newest ones are about .150” tall and I think the CHWPS plates are even lower. |

Any issues overhanging the ejection port? I thought the DPP direct mounted with no plate, which is why the DUO/DPO comes with just a rear sight to run with the DPP. |

The overhang hasn’t been an issue on any of my STIs.
What I’m saying is the DPPs base is as tall as the RMR and plate. I absolutely hated the adjustments on the DPP. Attached File |

Idk how the Staccato guns are setip, but the SIG guns with the DPP cut and additional RMR holes with a spacer plate (not an adapter plate) seen like the best way to go about this. |

That will be a solid little package capable of fast+accurate shooting View Quote Have a bid on a Gen4 on GB, but if that falls through I'll grab a frame and aftermarket slide already milled. Have looked at the Rock Slides (local to me) as well as Brownells and a few others. Cost would be about the same as I figure it, should be sub $1K in the whole package. I like the idea of a short, quick, accurate package that hides very easily. The RMR negates the short sight radius and then I'm going to be the variable, not small misses in sight alignment |

After poopooing red dots for years, even a post on the first page of this thread, been doing digging and research and decided to give RDS a try.
I picked up a new Glock 19.5mos for $550, love GSSF, and waiting on decision about red dot. Thinking the rmr06 or 508t with aftermarket plate for better fitment. |
