I vote Comp M5S with 3x magnifier if need be.

I don’t have a budget. Cost is not a concern per se but I understand diminishing returns.
I define my home as the house but also my land. Ranges could be out to 2-300 yds. Anything longer and I’d use my 16”. The 11.5 is for maneuverability in and around the house and in and out of vehicles. Also it is easier to travel with between homes. Also as a pistol I don’t need to ask the Feds for permission (5320.20) to travel between states (vaca homes) with it when I want to. Often we decide in short order.
The idea of the 1x to x is at 1x it acts as a red dot. But I can make longer shots if needed with more accuracy. I understand fully FFP vs SFP.
I agree I could do an RD + Mag. But someone tell me the net diff between an RD + Mag and an LPVO? Don’t they solve for the same problem just different ways? Flipping to the side vs rotation.
What am I missing?
How is your unaided vision? Can you easily discriminate targets at 2-300? Any astigmatism or other issue precluding the use of a red dot.
Your stated max range, primary use, and build intent seem to line up with an aimpoint.
Go Ukraine! Piss on the Russian dead.
My vision is 20/15 (LASIK) in both eyes. These are all good points to consider. I’ll chew on the option of a T2 with a flip mag. I guess one benefit if the mag is I can take it off if-when I need to.
Here’s what I suggest: Aimpoint T2 on a tall mount, such as a Unity Tactical Fast mount or Knight’s Armament sky scraper mount. This will allow you a more upright posture while you run and gun, and should afford you easy hits out to 300 meters should that saucer full of space hippies invade your land.
I've got an 11.5 pistol that I use for home defense. I put an MRO on mine and I'm happy with it. I've got a T1 on my 14.5 that's a shtf rifle.
IMHO, for a 11.5" inch barreled upper, an Aimpoint Micro T1 or T2 on a Unity Tactical FAST mount and a Aimpoint or EOTECH 3X magnifier in a Unity Tactical FAST QD mount. It's a very versatile setup and with the QD magnifier mount you also have the option of removing it and running just the Aimpoint Micro RDS alone. Unity Tactical is also releasing a new magnifier mount that will work with other magnifiers with the EO Tech mounting bolt spacing. Also, unlike the ELCAN, most if not all magnifiers have an adjustable diopter for focus if your eyesight is less than 20/20.
