While speaking with Trent over at Unity Tactical, he noted that the DP Pro is taller than the RMR, and that the BUIS would in turn have to be taller, too. That, and the addition in weight (as the DP Pro uses steel and aluminum rather than magnesium like the original DP), has turned me over to the RMR RM06 for my P30LS (which should arrive back in my hands any day now). Just something to ponder.Originally Posted by LSP552
IIRC, the RMR06 was one of the main villains in the "My RMR is intermittent!" sweepstakes. That's the "dual-power" version, right?
Although, I do seem to recall Doc saying they had fixed that.
.
It's the adjustable 3.25 MOA ones, so not the ones with the tritium or fiber optic. I do hope they fixed it, otherwise I'll be less than happy. There's a bit of talk on Lightfighter recently about those issues even in relatively newer models of that line, but that appears to be simply a battery contact issue.
Speaking of dots on pistols, Kahr just dropped this announcement:

I...I kind of want one, albeit without the stupid extended ported barrel. I can't tell you WHY I want one, I just sort of do.
I'll be adding Kahr to my list of SHOT Show stops for the first time in ages thanks to this.
Out to 100 yards, might a RDS equipped long slide hicap semiauto bridge the hit capability gap between a carbine and a pistol - somewhere around where the AR pistols are sitting?

Hitting in the 25-100 yard range with a pistol involves:
1) the accuracy of the pistol
2) the accuracy of the ammo in that pistol
3) regulation of the sight(s)
4) ability to see the sights, so as to be able to align them properly
5) ability to press the trigger without disturbing the sights
The red dot helps with regulation/ability to properly see and align the sight(s), but not the other requirements -- accuracy of the handgun and ammo, and ability to work the trigger.

Okay, thanks. Mine is an RMR02, an older example, but I haven't used it hard- or long- enough to establish a "track record". I've got three G19s set up with inletted RDS (the other two are Trijicon's clone of the JPoint, now long out-of-print) that I have been playing with on and off for a few years now; have yet to get real serious with it. I have, however, gained enough experience to understand many of the advantages- and the drawbacks- of the concept. The day will come when I need to go all-in on it.

Agreed. That takes the term "lipstick on a pig" to new heights.
This puppy, sans the "compensator" and with a shorter barrel/slide, might be a decent CCW piece.
But why the trigger safety??? Simply to get a more Glock-like pull? Perhaps its my old DA revolver experience talking here, but the Kahr trigger as it exists on their other pistols is quite satisfactory for a defensive piece, to my mind. Perhaps this is just them trying a "race-gun" angle? If so, I wish them luck with that...
.
And good shooters have reported pretty large improvements in precision from 3 and 4 ergo leveraging 1 and 2. Seems viable. Being primarily a pistol shooter, a few times attempted I've seen very little difference in quick precision at 25 yards between a good pistol and a carbine. I haven't really worked it hard enough for a real data set.

I'd guess that the trigger safety is exactly that - to go a bit after Glock/S&W in the market place. Which is too bad, because I agree, the factory triggers on Kahr's are pretty dope.
