absolutely agree with you DRR. have 75 SP 01 Shadow custom with iron sights, competition. have P 01 custom from CJW for carry with milled slide for night sights done by CZ Custom, outstanding job. to learn to use Red Dot took unused G3 Glock 34 and put C-More 8 MOA. with dot the focus should be on the target and transitions without sight. C-More works well and no problem at 35-40 yards with 12” plate. haven’t tried yet with 8” plate at distance and still prefer shooting with irons. will shoot Red Dot and KKM barrel and compensator when matches resume at PSGC. not embarrassed to finish last.

1. Sight pusher will lower the chance you damage your rear sight, but I’ve removed plenty with a punch with no marring marks

2.  If the height of the sight over bore doesn’t bother you, then bonus. 

3.  Hold-over is the difference between the dot and your bore axis.  Say your hold-over is 1”.  If you put your dot on the target at close distance, say 7 feet, your bullet will likely impact 1” lower than your point of aim.  It’s more pronounced with ARs, but it’s still present on red dot mounted pistol.  if you’re just wacking away at pop cans, probably a non-issue. 

As far as red dot for self defense, hey it’s your world boss, you do you. 

My eyes are aging and I need cheaters to read my phone or see my front sight clearly.  With a red dot I can choose to hose a close target with just a flash of sight picture or steady up for a more precise shot if called for.

i have a holosun 507c V2. from 2moa to 32 moa. im a beginner when it comes to red dots and the 32 moa is what i will be starting out with. features solar panel recharger/shake awake with a ridiculous 50,000 hour batterey life. RMR footprint. i found mine new for $315

Whoa so you can adjust it anywhere between 2 and 32 moa? That seems pretty fair at that price point from some of the other ones I’ve seen

No. there are just the 3 choices. 2 moa dot/32 moa circle and 32 moa circle with dot

Just wanted to post a new option for RDS that I found. This is the Swampfox Liberty. It uses an RMR mount, top loading 1632 battery, billet aluminum chassis, 3 moa red dot, and most importantly for me it has shake awake with auto shut off. In the pictures I also have the optional Swampfox Ironsides steel protective cover. The cover probably isn't needed for a range gun but it does look cool :)

The dot is mounted with the CZ OEM steel RDS plate for RMR part #: 19230

I've put about 150 round through the p10S with this sight and it's held zero perfectly. I previously had a Vortex Viper on this p10s, comparing the two the Liberty is a clear winner.

The viper had a very small field of view, glass that I could never get clean and on certain brightness level the dot would visibly flicker.

I've had none of these issue with the Liberty.

I know I sound like I'm selling this sight but I just wanted to post my experience with what I believe to be the new best bang for buck pistol RDS.

The Liberty is currently going for just over $200 USD and the Ironsides shield for $49.

Hey guys, 1st post! I am tired of waiting for Holosun to start shipping the 507k-x2. Has anyone tried the Swampfox Sentinel on a 75B type slide? It looks to be the right size.
