    I am also awaiting the Aimpoint ACRO P-1, I plan to have one of the slides for my VP9 milled to mount it if possible. Probably do the long slide first, since it is proving to be quite accurate and it conceals just as well in my PHLster Floodlight holster as the stock length slide.

    They might be out there somewhere. A guy running in front of me at rockcastle run and gun had the new aimpoint on his glock. I found his rubber sight cover on the barb wire crawl obsticle. Didn't get a chance to look at it closely or ask him much about it.

    This is a living document though so it will be changed/updated when he get an ACRO

    Just to echo what everyone else has said. The RMR is the standard right now. The leupold has a decent runner up.

    The ACRO is supposed to be the end all be all for RDS for pistols.

    Does anyone know if the ACRO will mount to an RMR cut or does the slide have to be specifically milled for the ACRO?

    I have an RMR 2 on a Gen 5 MOS. I have a little over 1,000 rounds through it. I really like it. I am planning on having my Gen 4 20 milled for an ACRO sometime this summer, depending on availability. I want it for the coming hunting season. I will feel better having an enclosed sight. I guess I will find out how it holds up to full power 10mm.

    Agency Arms makes an ACRO plate where you can put the rear site in the back or front of the RDS. Aaron Cowan just got an ACRO in and will probably have a review up before to long. He has a few posts on instagram with it

    If I got into a pistol mounted RDS today, the new Aimpoint ACRO would be the only one that I would even consider, just because of it’s closed emitter.

    Its optic window is about 70% of RMR's, and it is nearly twice bigger by volume. For a concealed carry optic, somebody needs to do a lot of convincing why I would even consider it.

    How interchangeable are the RDS on the market? So if I have a Sig gun with Sig RDS, can I buy the new Aimpoint or RMR and rock on or do I have footprint problems?
