I have always felt that with a 19 length slide, the dot tracks better than a 17 or 34 length slide. What I can’t reconcile though, is that my match performance has consistently been better with a dot on a 34, than with a dot on a 19 or 17 length slide. These are match observations, and probably not relevant to defensive use.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
GJM - Does the longer slide of the 17 / 34 cycle slower than a 19?
Kind of like a full size 1911 vs a 4.25 or officer size.
Maybe the (very minimal) slower time of the heftier slide returning to battery allows a slightly faster processing of a sight picture and in turn trigger prep...?
Brainstorming...

So... apart from the SRO, nothing new in the MRDS world at NRAAM? Not seeing much of anything on social media.
Anybody know anything about these?

Looks like a shield rms but with slightly different machining. Specs are even similar.Originally Posted by Trukinjp13

I finally ditched the glock plastic sights on my MOS slide and replaced them with Dawson's MOS co-witness sights.
Only problem is lining up the irons puts the dot at the bottom of the rear sight notch. Any ideas whats up?
I don't like seeing so much of the irons in the RMR, and I find it distracting during the drawstroke. I'm picking up and zeroing in on the irons rather than the dot. I'm going to place an order for the non-cowitness sights but in the meantime, I need to learn to work with what I got.

Most suppressor, or “co-witness” sights, sit appx .315” above the slide front and rear. This gives you a lower 1/3 sight picture in a milled RMR.
The RMR sits higher with the MOS setup, and manufacturers have accommodated that by using mostly .390-400 sights. That gives you a lower 1/3 sight picture with that specific setup.
You can also use MOS sights on a milled slide, you’ll just have the sights blocking more of the glass, which it appears the Overwatch sights (and any other MOS sight) would do.
Also be careful when you order, since Ameriglo (I think it’s Ameriglo) and maybe others measure the rear sights as the total height of the unit...for example their standard suppressor rear is listed as .395”, but it only sits .315” over the slide and would be too short to work with the MOS.

Well, with an MSRP of $159 and a one year warranty, I guess you get what you pay for.

I bet they sell a boat load of them at that price. Most pistol shooters do not shoot a fraction of the volume of PF members and will be perfectly happy with a cheap optic - especially with so many factory optic ready pistols on are coming to market.
