I'm interested in that J-Point sight, for my new P01, but I don't want it way up in the air off the slide.
Also, I'm wondering about it's durability as compared to the RMR and the DP Pro. From the one source I read that is very red dot/pistol oriented (as in anyone who doesn't see the advantages and take them is just crazy/stupid) they are saying the RMR is the most durable, followed by the DP Pro, followed by the J-point.
Didn't the makers of the J-Point just come out with a new/tougher red dot sight? I seem to remember hearing something about that a few weeks back.
M1A4ME, There is another thread discussing a Shield milled onto a P-01. The Shield RMS is the newer all-metal version of the JPoint and it's probably THE best set-up on a P-01. Check out that thread.
I was trying to experiment with a RDS on my P-01 before I milled it permanently; and the JPoint and Leupold mount set-up gave me that opportunity. The problem with the DPPro is that it's so tall and large on a compact; and the pricey RMR requires an additional Trijicon mounting plate for another $200 bucks in addition to the milling cost. Hey, if money is no object, go for the RMR but the Shield is small enough to mill in front of the stock rear sight using those sights for BUIS; it looks like a very nice setup.
I have a bunch of different pistols with RDS; and I have to say I really, really, like the RDS on my P-01. With the +2 16 round magazine it does it all.
Now that I've tried it and the Shield has come down in price to about $350; I think my next step will be to have Primary mill my other P-01 for a Shield; with no extra plate required, just cost of milling and refinishing slide.
However, I'm probably going to keep the JPoint on my SP-01 as the longer slide did NOT require the 2 'wedgies' and it sits low enough to only require a .275 tall front sight to provide lower 1/3 co-witness BUIS.
