Nice comparison pictures, thanks! I got my 507k yesterday as well. Very light but seems sturdy as you said. I wondered about the visible wires on mine but I see them in your pic as well (by the emitter). Just have to hope they won't be an issue - I know it's not really a "duty rated" optic. Very slight fishbowl-type effect when looking at text on computer monitor. I don't think it'll be an issue at the range but we'll see - I won't get to the range until next week probably. The reticle is very sharp, and even with my slight astigmatism it is still very usable. (obviously I have Rx safety lenses for the range) My only other pistol-mounted red dot is a Vortex Venom on my S&W Victory .22 cal, which is a 6 MOA compared to the 2 MOA on the 507k (407k is 6 MOA dot). The 507k is much more crisp as you'd expect.

A great thing about the Shield is how standard sights work as BUIS. How is the 507K in this regard?
Mine is in the mail on the way to me.
I have In Stock notices at a handful of sites and asked the local shop to give me a call but if anyone spots one in stock that they aren’t going to buy give me a heads up if you don’t mind.
I suck at pictures, so sorry. They are very low in the window, like right at the bottom. I keep forgetting to shut the dot off and try the irons/notch to see how it works. I have had mine out 3 times now counting this morning and am enjoying it very much. Lots of benefits, and so far no glaring drawbacks. (considering its size and purpose)
I have Defoor's on my 43X that I'm hoping will be visible through the window whenever my 47
07K finally shows up.
Scored a 507K at the LGS tonight. Got it installed and planning to hit the range at lunch tomorrow. I’ve got it set to the 32 MOA only and around the house it seems to bug my eyes a little more than an Aimpoint. I’ll see how it does on the range.
I have a 43X slide milled by Primary Machine for a RMSc. I pulled it and tried to put a 507K on, but while close it doesn’t fit right. Seems like the problem is in the forward bosses milled in. I am sending another 43X slide to Primary to mill the 507K.
Aaron Cowan just posted his review.

20 minute Sage Dynamics video. Cliff notes version — best small red dot out there, and he would be confident carrying it. Passed the drop tests while continuing to hold zero. Works with standard height sights as BUIS. The window is smaller than other optics, and on the G48 he loses the dot from the window in recoil.
