The optic weight is not enough to matter, especially when considering material removed.
Yup.
I did weigh the Beretta RDO plate and it was 1 3/4 oz. (49 grams) The optic is 1.5 oz for a total of 3.25 oz. added to the top of the slide. That's more than the weight of three 1 oz shotgun slugs, six 230 gr .45 bullets, or twelve 115 gr 9mm bullets to put it in perspective.
I don't know how much Beretta removed to create the mounting area. I'd guess no more than 1/4 oz. Probably much less.
I haven't had a chance to shoot more lately.

Physics be real yo.
My guess is the shooter can see the rise and fall so much better with RDS so it’s more perceived vs real. Regardless, the trade off would still be worth it to me. I never noticed but I have not seen a clear FS in years. I did try throwing on readers 1.0’s which helped before I went RDS guns. Everyone’s mileage may vary.
Who did your slide milling? Happy with it? Cost ?

It's a Beretta 92XG Centurion RDO. Optic ready from Beretta. Decock only.

Just my viewpoint:
Why would you handicap yourself with a DA/SA autoloader, with Bore Axis SO high above web of hand, and exaggerate this deficit further by adding additional mass (Optic) on top of Slide?
Earnest Langdon and (very) few others have mastered this Blowjob handgun system, but it just seems like deliberately handicapping yourself out of the gate. Learning an Optic system on a handgun seems enough of a hurdle to overcome.
Why not a Glock or similar??
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
