    I'm stoked to hear this, George.

    I'd love to be able to actually use a MRDS that has a proper delta reticle, as opposed to a dual-illumination RMR.

    Is this going to be a formal upgrade like the Type 2 RMR (internal upgrade to essentially the same product) or would it just be improved reliability on models purchased after a certain date? Thanks

    My first DPP had the motion sensor quit between 8-9000 rounds.

    I think the next one is going at under 3000. Had three occasions over the weekend when the optic was off unexpectedly. I thought I noticed a similar pattern with the first one for a little while before the first ones motion sensor failed completely.

    While it might be OK to use for practice, based on experience, I would not rely on this one Pro for competition, as the unit is “fixin to fail.”

    There are two main issues with the Pro, a motion detector design that fails, and a propensity of the “+” that locates the battery, migrating such that the contact with the battery becomes intermittent, and then when it moves enough, hard fails. I am expecting something very soon that addresses both issues.

    Here is a picture of the “+” showing very slight migration. We have started “pre-flighting” our Pros, checking to see that the + is in the proper position.

    Thanks will check my other one for migration.

    This one is also going back for warranty with agents tomorrow, Leupold service is really good here only down side is the 3+ months turn around for the replacement.

    Just back from the range, and on “post flight,” this is what I found.

    I broke another Pro today at a match. While that was the bad news, the good news this was not the new “ruggedized” prototype that is on the brown truck today, it was just a Steel Challenge match so it only wrecked one string, and the failure was the “standard” where the + slips down.

    I am hoping the prototype with the changes, which are a new motion detector and the + mounted differently, fix the reliability issues with the Pro.

    You and 3/4 folks shooting carry optics.
    The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

    Humbly improving with CZ's.

    Someone I know showed up at our last USPSA match with a new 320 X5 and a Romeo 1, announcing his plan to shoot it “hard” in CO this year. I asked how many slides and optics he had, and he replied “just one” with a puzzled look. I just laughed.
