    Wow thanks! That’s very attractive to me for a number of reasons.

    I bought two. One for my practice carry gun and depending on how I like it and the form factor, maybe on my primary carry gun.

    I know it’ll be fragile but I’m okay with that.

    What are you putting it on and did you get an eight?
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I think the 8 is probably the way to go. My current carry gun has an 8 and I like the smoothness of the dot.

    I bought two of the 4’s of the RMSc on closeout and the dot refresh rate is kind of slow so the dot jumps a lot and the dot is kind of small. My thought for those are that they could go on random target guns.

    I ordered 4s for the RMSX.

    With the RMSX I’m not sure what it’ll go on (will depend on if the electronics are upgraded and if the refresh is better).

    There have been some times (like 25 yard heads) where I feel like the 8 is just a whiff too large.

    Right now I have thoughts of putting it on my tacticool version of my carry gun.

    P365X with PMM comp and ISMI recoil spring trimmed down.

    But if it’s too wide then it might go on the MR920 slide. I don’t like suppressor height sights on regular guns because of drag on the draw and possible snag factor (just a personal preference). I also like low height over bore.

    If it’s super awesome… then it might go on my Open gun to lower height over bore and reduce double dot.

    Some more angles that illustrate size nicely

    From that size, looks like I might put it on my Maxim 9 and N frame revolver. If I really like the dot I might put it on my competition guns.

    Does the X have a RMS or RMSc footprint, or are those the same?

    The same to my knowledge with the difference being the c is more narrow. I certainly could be misremembering though.

    @GJM this is the best site that I found for descriptions and schematics. I’ve found the information to be accurate.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/optics-...ot-sights/amp/

    RMS is the width of a G19 slide. RMSc is the width of a P365.

    Mounting holes are the same.

    RMSX certainly looks like RMS
