Hey guys, I'd like to pick up a G19 MOS which will likely be suppressed. Main use will be plinking at the range.
However, I can't decide on a red dot. I've narrowed it down to either the Leupold Deltapoint Pro vs. Vortex Venom. Thought about the Trijicon RMR, but the price, small FOV, tinted glass, and bottom battery makes it less attractive.
My concerns:
1. Durability- People seem to like to DPP, but I'm concerned about the warranty. I'm reading that bullet casings are ejected towards the glass, causing chips. Not sure if suppressed shooting will alter this. The Venom on the other hand has the famous Vortex lifetime warranty, so I'll be covered if the glass gets chipped up.
2. Astigmatism- I get a slight starburst (*) pattern with my Aimpoint 2moa dot, thus I should probably stick to the smaller dot to lessen this effect. Is there any difference in red dot clarity between the DPP and Venom?
3. Suppressor sights- Anybody using the Dawson Precision sights which clear the base of the optic? If so, did you get the fiberoptic front sight? I'm wondering if having 2 colored dots in the window causes confusion.
Thanks for the feedback.
