Any info from people here about the Agency AOS? Sounds pretty good but I'm not big on early acceptance.

After 1300 rounds fired on a direct milled RMR (G17 Gen3 RTF2) I have experienced a wandering zero. I am still printing close groups, but they are all stacked in the bottom right 9 ring on a B8. After aligning the BUIS the dot now appears in the top left 8 ring - this is replicable in dry fire -, explaining why holding on the X printed low right. I have checked the mounting screws and there is no play, I cannot turn them even using the short end of the allen wrench. I did not make witness marks on the adjustment dials, so my presumption is that they have moved. I ended my last session with the dot aligned and printing in the center. So I am not quite sure how the knobs moved as there was nothing different in transit or storage.
With this in mind, my question is, should I bother rezeroing and witness marking the dials (and additionally "sealing" with clear nail polish), or should I, perhaps forgo the inevitable and, send the unit back to Trijicon for warranty work?

I'd put witness marks on to tease it out better.

I have a 5" Walther PPQ with a direct milled Shield. Through live and dry fire practice and a match, not a problem. I dry fired Friday and took it to a match Saturday. At the safety table, no dot. Tapping, no dot. Shot in the match, dot never came back. I get home later, the dot is back. Screws tight, mount feels solid. Dot today is now on. Any thoughts?

Though I haven't dipped a toe into the SIG 320 pond (yet), and some of their corporate actions haven't made me eager to embrace the brand, I think SIG is taking the right approach to MRDS integration in both pistol and optic design. It appears SIG has updated the SIG XCARRY designs to use the Deltapoint Pro footprint. Of course, the M17/M18 adoption means that there will be hundreds of thousands of service pistols with the Leopold DPP footprint, so it makes sense that SIG would promote this standard. Converting their own ROMEO MRDS design to use the DPP footprint (the ROMEO2) is a smart business move. Time will tell whether SIG migrates the whole line over to this standard, but it makes a great deal of sense. But most importantly, it means the SIG pistols won't need an adapter plate to use the DPP, which is arguably becoming the most popular MRDS despite its limitations.
I think the SIG XVTAC design is another step in the right direction, getting the rear sight off the optic adapter plate, allowing for a true BUIS.
I hope other manufacturers, particularly Aimpoint and Trijicon, follow suit by offering their optics with a DPP footprint. Though adopting another manufacturer's standard is probably distasteful, the potential of selling an optic compatible with the new standard military sidearm should provide the necessary incentive.
