    I read further and see now that you are speaking specifically to OFO.

    Please disregard my last.

    Not necessarily. If you mandate an optic footprint then all the manufacturers that hope to compete for that contract are going to make an optic to fit that footprint. I think standardization in the industry in this regard could be a good thing long term.

    I think the Army going with DDP pattern and CBP going MOS might be a roadblock for an truly universal footprint.

    Small population, but USMS SOG's Staccatos are using the DPP footprint as well. I'm not smart enough to know what the pros vs cons are of DPP vs RMR footprints.

    All Staccato DUO default to the DPP foot print. RMRs require an adaptor plate. I don't think the USMS SOG contract was a deciding factor in that. It is logical as the DPP optic window sits higher, making the tall optic your default and adding the thickness of an adaptor plate to the shorter optic allows the same BUIS to be visible through the window of both optics.

    SIG's current PRO optics cut accommodates both the DPP / SIG R1 PRO and the RMR, which was a requirement for the CBP contract.

    Nothing has been decided yet. CBP has had some responses from industry but no real testing is underway as far as I know. If anything we probably won't be doing much until early to mid 2021.

    Holosun has something new which seems to be a direct response to this RFI.

    Not a closed emitter. I agree with old posts that the requirement to use the MOS screw holes makes a closed emitter hard.
