Question on this red dot mount of the Delta Point Pro....in the specs it says 60 MOA in vertical adjustment while the Vortex Venom offers 130 MOA adjustment. Wouldn't the Vortex Venom be a better choice to mount without milling the slide, which I would prefer to do.
Fair Question.
What mount would you use for the Venom; and do you want to have BUIS?
This Project is about a cost-effective setup without milling that mounts low enough and achieves BUIS co-witness without a gigantically tall front sight.I like the Venom, I have three of them mounted (milled) on three different handguns; P-07, P-09 and FN-FNX Tac. If I milled my CZ-75 a Venom would be a good option. I'm trying to avoid milling.
We're talking about using a JPoint, not a DPP. An advantage of the JPoint is that it's one of the smallest mini-RDS, it mounts very low and fits the slide nicely on the Leupold CZ-75 mount, and has a built-in rear iron 'notch' to utilize as your rear iron. The JPoint/Shield are the only other RDS that fit that mount. And unlike the Viper which is another small optic, the JPoint adjustments are accessible on top and side, not back where a rear iron would interfere with adjustment unless drilled through.
Another advantage of the JPoint IMO is it stays on 24/7 so it's always ready, and automatically adjusts to ambient (target) light. If you turn on a flashlight, it adjusts. If you go from a dark room to a bright room, it adjusts.
The JPoint specs say it has 125 inches of vertical adjustment at 100 yards. That's 125 moa adjustment. But at 10 yards that's 12.5" and I would assume that's like only 6" up or down. Works OK on Full size 75, but shorter barrel Compact P-01 required a slight shim 'tilt' as pictured in thread above.
Hey, after all is said and done; milling in your RDS is the best option; go for the Venom, but it's more $$ and it can't be reversed. YMMV
