    That's not really true. While a level or modularity was part of CBP's requirement the specs were written with no particular brand or model in mind.

    Believe what you wish. I was there when the RFI and later SOW was written.

    Everyone said the. FBI RFI and SOW were written for the P320 and we know how that turned out.

    If you read the SOW, it specified a modular optics mount capable of accepting both the RMR and DPP.

    Buying 60,000 RMR cut guns to take your agency into the next 10-15 years would not be “baller.” It would be stupid and short sighted. Why buy guns cut only for an optic which may be obsolete half way through the guns service life?

    The Aimpoint ACCRO May take MRDS to the next level in the next decade but if it doesn’t something else will.

    I was impressed it was written purely from the functional perspective and specifying a technology such as “internal frame that can be used in multiple outer frames.” Having written govt RFI and RFPs it is a challenge when seeking new capabilities to not slip into limiting the technical approach and stay focused on the functionality needed yet protecting from some weird lame overly optimized solution as well. Good job!

    It would be a shame if they don’t sell it. Also that video does not convey anything that was obvious from reading the RFP and looking at a picture other than the 11rd mags for the 26.

    Edit: I can’t see this not becoming more widely available. There are plenty of benefits of parts commonality that many agencies and even consumers will want.

    My experience with the DPP has been completely positive.
    Back to the OP - I hope the good guys always have the best equipment to keep them safe. Glocks with red dots is a strong combination.
