"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost." -Arthur Ashe
The DPPs in the article are on SOG (USMS SWAT) issued STI 2011’s. No idea if they are milled or using STIs HOST system. SOG is a pretty small organization.
Speculating here but but like EOtechs, if you are using an RDS on short term, proactive missions you can just throw in fresh batteries before every mission and not worry about battery life. Trijicon s release of the SRO clearly illustrates the advantages of the DPPs bigger window over the RMR in terms of pure performance. This mirrors GJMs comments about the DPP being a superior “gaming optic.”
The regular deputies I have seen with RDS have had a mix of DPP and RMR on Glocks. Milled slides are an option but I’m not up on the details.
Anyone know what 2011's they use?
