So For An RDS Handgun, Wouldn't You Actually Want It Forward Of The Ejection Port?

I think I found a disconnect. When I envision a RDS handgun, I'm thinking of something like a Glock with a C-More RDS size setup. I just looked at the Delta Point Micro and honestly that's more of a rear sight substitute than what I think of when it comes to RDS. I couldn't adjust to that DPM in years, but if we are talking about the DPM or similar, you are correct about optimum location.

The RDS handgun I want someday has something like a Eotech XPS2.

I put a DPM on my Glock 19 6 months ago, I found it very easy to adapt to and it increased my speed and accuracy. Many who have never tried the DPM blow it off. Find someone running it and give it a try.

Is the small window of the Leupold Deltapoint Micro that bad?
If one has a proper presentation, wouldn’t the dot just appear despite the small window?

It does. I have no problem picking up the dot.

Interesting idea. I'd agree that the holster situation would be an ass ache. I'd love to try the setup, but on good grip angled pistols with good sights, picking up the dot isn't too bad.

Last night, I installed a new VORTEX RAZOR 3MOA on my Glock 34 Gen 5 MOS. Even with the 3MOA dot, I have found it really easy and quick to pick up. It is almost immediate. I have found that the way to get good at using a RDS on a pistol and get a quick acquisition is to practice good technique. There are some good videos that are available that address reticle acquisition on pistols with a RDS.

Hundreds of presentations, at least. To the point where it happens without thinking about it. Geez, I don't even practice my iron sight pistol. So an RDS equipped pistol would be a real challenge.

" my first rds pistol " this technology has been around for 15+ yrs and many are just adopting it now ? How come you didn't take advantage of it years ago?

I am a huge fan of the Delta point micro. I have them on 3 pistols and they are all I carry any more.

I took my Cajun CZ P07 with RMR to the range and I had a hard time adjusting back to it.

Proper presentation with the Leupold and the dot is right in front of my eyes every time.

Thanks.

Same reason I didn't put projected laser dots on everything in the 80s.

Regarding the Leupold Delta Micro, I did force on force training about a month ago with this sight.

Clearing rooms, and getting on target was super fast. The dot was always there.

About the small window, I think it is the greatest once you work with it enough when you present the pistol at speed, it kind of disappears. Meaning I focus on the dot and see what is down range and it becomes like the dot is just there and I really can't tell any more if I am looking through the glass or past the glass and only really see the dot.

It is hard to explain, but I predict that in time we will see more companies bring out smaller red dots.

I am getting the urge to get a Stealth Arms 2011, that uses Glock mags. What is holding me from dropping the hammer is having to go back to a big window red dot.
