Got a new m and p core today in 9 mm

[Shorthair15]

Picked up a new m and p core today in 9 mm. I have a 2.0 in 9 mm. I got two weeks ago in 5 inch as well have new sights put on it the ameriglo trijicon insert sights it's in fde. My question is will a leupold or a vortex razor red dot work on the core. I will be useing this a target pistol. Will probably put a apex trigger kit in it will shoot it first. Definitely going with a red dot though as this is why I got it.

Your CORE came with plates that should tell you which red dots will work with them. I believe one of the plates will work with the Vortex and Leupold.

Yeh I know I took a look. I have aveteran discount with vortex I will probably run a viper on it. Thanks

I put a Vortex Viper on mine, it sits a little higher than the Venom and the number 5 plate works

How did the sights co-witness with the Vortex Viper? Did you have to change your sights or don't use them at all?

Viper or Venom

I'm interested in which Vortex co-witnesses with the C.O.R.E. Series M&P's the best: Venom or Viper?

I have a Viper on my 5" CORE and the cowitness is perfect. Works great. I thought Venom does not quite cowitness (but verify that).

congrats on new pistol. I too am interested in what dot works best.

I bought a Venom first and it sits a little lower than the Viper. The Viper Does co-witness best in that brand.

Well I settled on the vortex viper red dot. I purchased it from optic planet for my new pistol. Can't wait to mount it and give it a try. Looking at getting another pistol to carry looking at getting a m and p 2.0 or a ported 9mm performance ctr pro series both in 4.25 inch standard version. I have a 2.0 I picked up used a few weeks ago at the cabelas gun library. It was like new in fde. It had a apex trigger in it was the 5 inch version in 9 mm. Having ameriglo trijicon insert sights put on it. Been three weeks as they were back logged at the shop I took it to.

You've had the viper on a month now. Any issues. What's the battery life been like. Thanks

No issues as of yet

Initially, my CORE had poor accuracy. I installed a fitted Apex 9mm barrel and it's very accurate now. I believe it rivals my old 52.

Couldn't you have sent it back for a new barrel under warranty?

Which screws did you use and how did you lock down your settings. Thanks

 

[bimmerland]

Finally got mine set up thanks to some good advice from old and grumpy. Using a vortex viper with #5 plate and B screws and blue loctite. Snugged the locking screws until I had a bind on the windage and elevation screws. Centered the dot in the viewing area and tested it with my laserlyte system at 10 yards. No problem hitting center every time. Co-witness is perfect. Can't wait to get to the range. Found a revolution paddle holster that supports the rig nice and snug with a clean draw.

I can't even get that gun in mass, it's not on the AG list, so
I'd have to do a private sale and over pay up the kazooo...............if I could even find one
