I wouldn't say that this study closes the book on this subject, but it suggests that a RDS is useful for new shooters. That said, in my experience a pistol mounted RDS is significantly slower than irons (whether for new or experienced shooters), and this study does not address speed.

Want 41 or 21 with threaded barrel and dot for quiet night-time stuff.
Kinda wish that they had done the 17/19 sized guns first.

I saw the pictures of the Optic Ready Glocks from Shot Show's Media Day. ITS Tactical did a quick run down of them. According to ITS, you can fit any type of red dot sight on it. According to the pictures the Glocks come with the same plastic sights. I guess you will have to invest in some good sights too. Here is the link if you are interested.

I shot one today at Media Day. It is likely to suffer from the same wandering zero issues as the M&P CORE, as the optic still held to the adapter plate by two screws.
Funny, as the CORE I shot today lost zero as well

Glock has an interactive site for them now:

I wonder if custom milling is still the best solution?
