I’m planning on having two complete slides, with the reflex red dot mounted on one and a good set of irons on the other. I don’t see any real advantage to having a carry piece with an optical sight mounted high above the “normal” line of sight. If I have any doubt about the efficacy of the red dot in a given situation, I don’t want it anywhere in the way!
I looked at the EGR site with no joy, but I’ll try MGW and Springer Precision to see if either of them offers a “drop in” solution. Meanwhile, does anyone know whether the dovetail for the basic, non-adjustable S&W sight corresponds in size to any other dovetail?
