Yes, as a matter of fact. I just discovered a company named Anson that sells reasonably priced ratcheting dress and casual belts. They are available in 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" widths in a huge variety of colors in leather and webbing straps and with buckles in a range of metal colors and designs. I really like them as they let you set just the right tightness for the clothes you are wearing. Holes always seem too loose or too tight.

My 5" M&P 2.0 is a CORE model (the slide is cut for provided adapter plates and direct red dot mounting). The Holosun HS507c uses the same "footprint" as the Trijicon RMR and SRO and mounting it is very straightforward. If you have a non-CORE gun, EGW, Outer Impact and others make adapter plates that replace the rear sight and fit into it's dovetail and these plates are made in a variety of footprints to take a number of red dots. Incidentally, my M&P CORE has "suppressor height" sights that do co-witness with the dot. I've never used them to find the dot and I think it would be slower to do so. A bit of practice and the dot is as easy to find as any iron sights.

Yeah, I was also interested in the 512 for the same reason. But when I needed a sight, the 512 was unobtanium and the availability dates were unknown so I bought the 510. It's been very good so far but I haven't had it out in a hard rain yet.

Yes, me too. I have HS510's on both my PCCs and a HS507C on my S&W M&P9. The circle is very fast to locate and acts almost like an aperture rear iron sight in that your eye tends to center the target in the circle. The dot is obviously more precise but the circle works very well for close fast targets.

I'm not sure what model red dot you have but I've used a Vortex Venom, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro and now the Holosun HS507c on my 5" M&P9 2.0's ( both CORE and standard versions). I find the Holosun with its 32MOA circle/2MOA dot reticle to be by far the fastest to find as the big bright circle really jumps out even if you aren't perfectly aligned. initially. There is no real substitute for dry fire practice but the Holosun reticle is a benefit.

I have the 7.5moa triangle DPP on my RFRO and it doesn't come even close to covering any plate in SC no matter what the distance. I also have a Holosun HS510 on my PCCO and the 65 moa circle with the 2 moa center dot makes for a very easy to find reticle.

You are dealing with an unsolvable difference between point-of-aim vs point-of-impact due to the fact that the dot (or any type of sight actually) is not at the centerline of the bore. I zero my pistol red dots at 25 yards and have to hold an inch or so high at 7 yards to center the group. Unless you are willing to "dial" the elevation adjustment screw at each change of distance, you are going to have to learn to use Kentucky windage at one of the distances.

Why not contact Taccom?

I have both a 5" Full Size and a 4" Compact M&P9 2.0 CORE guns and except for the Compact's grip frame being a bit shorter to fit the 15 round magazines, the rest of the frame dimensions appear to be identical. I haven't tried it but it looks like the 5" and 4" slide assemblies could be swapped between each other's frames.

This is a terrific resource and should be "stickied". Thanks for all your work.

What makes the Bushnell so attractive that it was worth all of that work? What does it offer than several better documented red dots don't?

Why not just get a larger red dot? There are lots of red dot sights with 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 MOA dots and C-More even has a 16 MOA dot available.

Not sure about that particular one but Dawson Precision and SDM Fabricating both make similar fiber optic front sights for S&W revolvers. I've used both companies with very good results.

I ordered two ratcheting kits from Carbon Arms to. fit to a couple of Bianchi Accumold 7202 belts. I used a utility knife to cut the belts down to a length just shorter than would fit me wearing my lightest clothing. I sealed the ends with superglue, then added the Carbon Arms kits which was just a matter of drilling 1/4" holes to take the flange nuts, the buckle and strap and the retaining screws. I did this to allow the belts to be easily adjusted for tightness over a variety of clothing from shorts and a T-shirt in the summer to heavy jeans, a heavy shirt and possibly a vest in cold weather.

JP says there is!

Wow, that was fast. AFAIK, all of these cards are correct and much appreciated. They are going into my range bag for reference when I can't get to the actual owners manuals as you noted in the OP. Thanks for all of your work on these. One correction on the Vortex Venom card. The "footprint" of the red dot itself is the "Docter/Noblex", which is quite common and almost any optics ready handgun comes with an adapter plate for this footprint. It does include a removable Weaver/Picatinny rail mount which is useful on most rifles, shotguns, etc.

Very useful idea. Thanks. Vortex Venom please.

It's not limited to PC models. I just bought a M&P9 2.0 CORE Compact (4" barrel). It is not a PC gun but does have the extended slide stop tabs on both sides.

Yes, both the 4.25 and 5" frames are the same and take the same 17-round magazines. The 4" "Compacts" are shorter and take 15-round magazines as flush fit.

Have you contacted JP to see if they can do it?

When I bought my DPP the only choices were the 7.5MOA triangle or a 2.5 MOA dot which I considered too small to pick up quickly. I choose the 7.5 triangle. It's worked adequately for PPC-type pistol matches on an M&P9 2.0 CORE and very well for SC matches on a 10/22 but the dot really does cover too much for some targets. If I were to buy another one I'd definitely go for the 6 MOA dot. I have a Vortex Venom with the 6 MOA dot and it's a very good compromise of speed and target coverage.

Midway shows TiteGroup and HP-38 (identical to WW231) and WinClean 244 ( similar to WW231 with a copper fouling cleaner) in stock right now.

The only high capacity rimfire magazines I know of are made for rifles like the 10/22 and various AR-22 models. These 15 and 25 round magazines have a noticeable curve to compensate for the rim diameter and that's impractical for a magazine to fit into a pistol's grip.

I bought small folding hex key sets at Home Depot in SAE, Metric and Torx formats since my various guns use all three types of socket screws. Those sets plus a 1/4" hex bit screwdriver handle and a selection of flat screwdriver bits from very narrow and thin (adjustable sight screws) up to rather big and fat (stock bolts) cover almost anything I'm likely to need in the field.

I've become a real fan of the Holosun red dots, particularly the HS507C on my full size M&P9 20. and the smaller 407K or 507K on small pistols like the Shield. The "C" models use the same footprint as the Trijicon RMR and the "K" series use the Shield RMS/ Romeo O footprint.
