Glad to see this point raised. I’m ready to take the optic plunge, most likely a RMR, but am stuck on the method of mounting. A “pro cut” seems to be the most secure, in theory, but I’m concerned about what happens should you face a optics failure. Expensive paperweight?
A universal pocket would afford the option of using a replacement optic, not to mention experimenting with optics that share the footprint (507c, SRO etc).
Just grabbing a MOS gun is the easy button option. No lead time for milling, and options to experiment with other optics. But the internet says the MOS system sucks and direct mill is the way to go for anything serious.
I imagine I’ll go with the MOS, mount it carefully, and go from there to avoid being married to one particular sight. I’m certainly open to hearing there’s a better path, though.
