JonF Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 A buddy and I have been getting his new CORE PRO set up and of course the dilemma of mounting the Leupold to the M&P had to be addressed. So the good news is that a call to Leupold yielded a tip that Amerigun USA now has an adapter plate specifically for the DP Pro and M&P. The bad is that you have to drop a few extra bucks for the mount but at least it gets the job done. You'll notice the mount is a bit higher than the factory S&W mounts since the sight has to be shifted slightly to get the clearances for the sight body and mounting holes accommodated for. Also because of the height, kiss your cowitness goodbye, but hey, this is Carry Optics/Open so the iron sights can piss off. Other than that, its GTG. http://www.amerigunusa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy kemlo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 With the sight sitting that high is there any reason to buy a core. Why not just use a dove tail mount on a regular M&p? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just use a dove tail mount on a regular M&p? Lower is definitely better but Its a marginal change really. Only about 1/8" higher than normal. Resultant dot height would be similar as an RTS2.

shootingchef Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It's a personal preference. This isn't an open gun. Carry optics can go either way. The designers of the CORE and MOS designed the gun to co-witness. Obviously the optic mounted will dictate the need for irons or not. I have 3 M&P with dots, two are co-witness. One is a bastard child for 3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The factory sights wont co-witness with a Deltapoint pro no matter how you mount it. The DP Pro is thicker than other sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun in the OP is a CORE Pro ported so its going to be classed in open in whatever division/sport he shoots it in so irons wont really be helpful in that situation.

pete627 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 He could (might already) have a solid barrel for CO use ... but ... that trigger wouldn't work for Carry Optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
