I'll have to get her a nice box of 124. :D

Thank you! I was reading earlier this morning that you had to look for a 4 digit number where the 1st digit was the year of mfg. Apparently they are no longer doing that.

This one will be more like a mistress. ;)

Looking at picking up a lightly used CORE on GB. Can somebody help me date this gun based on the photos? Is it 8/15/16?

FYI, I just had Tooltech drill out my stock sights and install tritium night sights. It wasn't cheap (just under $200) but I couldn't be happier with the results. Not sure why more manufacturers don't make tall night sights for the CORE.

So how do the night sights work on that exactly? The ding I heard on the RM05 (and others like it) is that the dot isn't super intense like on the battery powered ones, and can get washed out in bright light. BTW, supposedly a place called Tooltech Gunsight can do custom tritium inserts...but...

Does anybody besides Dawson make night sights for the CORE? For the life of me I can't find anything. Just got my CORE .40 with Trijicon RM07 last week and I'm loving it...except for the fact that it's way hard for me to pick up the red dot in the dark.

Thanks guys!

Ya, I'm not seeing it anywhere in stock. SWFA showed it in stock but I called and they're not expecting any in till later in October.

Just got one of the new ported .40 COREs today...can't wait to shoot it. I want to get a RM07 for it (don't want to wait for the Deltapoint 2). Can somebody confirm that one of the supplied plates that comes with the gun works with the RM07?

Cool, thanks. Do we know when these are set to hit most stores?

Any thoughts on this? I know these aren't out in the wild yet but I'm guessing they will be the same as the CORE series in this respect. So how would my M&P 40 Pro compare to a CORE in terms of trigger smoothness and weight?

I have a 3 year old M&P Pro 40. How would these compare in terms of trigger weight and smoothness? Have the improved the grittiness?

Is the red dot on all the time? How long does the battery last? Seems like it could be a better solution for self defense, acquiring the target more quickly correct?

I'm just your average joe kind of occasional shooter. So for occasional range use and home defense will it reduce recoil and help me get on target faster? Also, dumb question but I'm assuming these don't come with night sights, do the red dots work in the dark or do they use ambient light?
