For the thought about sights, well you also mentioned a red dot, yes the whole set up might cost the cost of a new gun, but it is so far beyond worth doing.  But if you are going to do it, do it right.. don't cheap out on the dot or save a few bucks by not adding buis  (also primary machines does a sweet job milling the slides)

What red dot are you running on that gun, it looks very easy to see.  I shot about 500 rounds though my P-10 and my eyes are starting to get old on me and outside of a little to much uptake on the trigger I had a lot of problems picking up the iron sights.  Besides those issues I love the way the gun shoots.

This is a Trijicon RMR it's the RM07 (6.5 moa adjustable)

Thanks for the information.  Do you adjust the size very often or do you run it with the max 6.5?

Size is not (directly) adjustable - brightness is.

For some people, boosting the brightness can cause the dot to "bloom" (i.e. appear bigger and fuzzier) though.

Also, just my thoughts but the 6.5moa dot is perfect for defensive use. Very fast to pick up. You do sacrifice a little time at distance for precision shots but nothing like you do when shooting with irons.

Sorry I wasn't clear that was my bad. Yes it is adjustable as in brightness you can turn it all the way off, lowest setting is NV (I believe) then super bright.  9 settings in total

And as was mentioned the 6.5 is great for defensive use imho. I know many people go with the 3.25 moa dot (rm06) but I've had a 3.25moa on a handgun before (it was a sight mounted Burris fastfire 3 and no backup irons but still) and the dot moves so much, which isn't the dots fault it's mine and can be fixed with training but the larger dot is easier for me to see in a chest size target faster

In fairness, dot wobble is more pronounced the smaller the dot size. It isn?t all you ;-)

So I guess no one is interested in buying any of my JB-Weld and Sugru'ed and Dremel modified polymer guns.   :) :)

...and that's fine with me...
