Good afternoon all. Just wanted to throw out a note on putting the DP Pro on CORE pistols. I am a 21 year L.E. prior Combat Arms from USAF, and a shooter at heart. With age I am having issues with sharp sight picture. At SHOT this year I looked hard at the RMR, and after the show, bought the pistol and an RM07.
I have arms as long as a gorilla, and the further from your face the optic is, the larger the dot. At 20 yards the dot was 2/3 of the window, and that doesn't work for an old bullseye shooter. After looking at the Deltapoint Pro, I noted the larger window, and less mass surrounding the optic, allowing more view. I bought the DP Pro and was all jazzed to be amazed. Then I found it was not designed to fit the cut on my pistol. I Immediately voided my warranty and took a couple thousandths off the front of the optic, flattened the #2 plate that came with my CORE, and bought the correct screws to mount. The base is the same, just the overall forward and rear length were an issue. Now that I had successfully affixed the sight to my pistol, I realized in my blindness that the base of the sight is so much thicker than the RMR, that the suppressor sights are buried in the sight. ( I need an anger management seminar). In the end, I now have zero'd the sight and put a couple hundred rounds through it. (The gun, not the sight....) The 2.5 MOA dot is outstanding, and the window is clearer than the RMR. The rig still fits in my duty holster and I am displeased with the work, but happy with the initial result. I am going to look into slightly taller night sights. For the work, I would buy the RM06, 3 MOA dot and call it good. Headaches and heartaches seem to follow me.......
