Im super curious to see how this is going to mount.
From looking at the picture, it doesnt seem like we will be able to inset the optic INTO a slide very much.
Until someone releases actual product photography with this thing stuck on a slide, we will just have to wait and see. Any way you slice the pie its still pretty neat that companies are developing products for this application.
Something like a 1/2 or 3/4 scale Picatinny rail would be freaking awesome to standardize slide mounted optics around.Originally Posted by Magsz

Here are the technical specs so people don't have to make assumptions based on a photo.
As previously mentioned, it's quite a bit taller than an RMR, and the height is the same (or close to it) across the entire length of the sight which will make it a no go for concealment for me.
Great post for the specs:Here are the technical specs so people don't have to make assumptions based on a photo.

Trijicon Type 2 RMR dimensions:
Dimensions
(L x W x H)
LED:
1.8 x 1.1 x 1.0 in.
46 x 28 x 25mm
Adjustable LED
1.8 x 1.2 x 1.0 in.
46 x 30 x 25mm
Dual Illumination:
1.8 x 1.2 x 1.0 in.
46 x 30 x 25mm
That makes is HUGE compared to the RMR... Disappointing.

I am coming off of m4c info that measured RMR screen at 0.9x0.6 while Nano at 0.6x0.5. The above specs though show this new AP aperture at 0.6x0.6. So, 0.36/0.54 would actually be 2/3 of the screen surface area.

Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
I’ve been experimenting with red dots the past year in preparation for this. If it’s MOS compatible I’ll be getting one for my nightstand gun. That’s also assuming it’s in the same ballpark as an rmr cost wise.

If someone is measuring RMR display height at the single high point, that is misleading in terms of usable display, as you can see from this picture.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
The optic is a monster in physical dimensions! It's over 1/2" taller than a DP Pro.
So do you think it is gaming suitable? Same question for EDC?

No question it would rule for gaming. It would be larger than I would like on my carry guns. It does look like BUIS would be usable. I am interested in how it mounts to a pistol. It looks like the only option would be an ATOM style mount (I could be completely wrong on this)
