razorfish Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I haven’t shot USPSA in over a year and want to give Carry Optics a try. (Can’t focus on the front sight anymore) The plan is to have the slide milled on either my CZ Shadow or Accu-Shadow (another decision). Anyway, which optic is leading the pack these days? Also, what MOA for the dot? Looking over the forum it seems there is no consensus on the best optic but surely there has to a “short list”. Any opinions?

jcc7x7 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I've used Original Delta point 7.5 Like it the best Burris FFll ok but not good Cmore STS old style works good , not as nice as original DP New DPP 7.5 Like it but the body is bigger than the original, (not sure extra size is worth the battery tray on top, just my opinion ) Probably going to stick with DPP until I find some more old style DP's to buy One mans opinion!!!

tyman1876 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 DPP 2.5 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_Alan Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I’ve tried the Romeo1 which was not bright enough for me and needs a bigger dot. The Vortex Viper is nice just a smaller window. Got a RTS2 coming to try. Didn’t like the DPP 7.5 triangle seamed way to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crmcdm Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I have both Vortex Viper & Venom in 6 MOA. I run the Viper on an M&P CORE, and the Venom on my PCC. I like both, and the dot is great for fast acquisition. The Viper sits relatively low, which I personally likke. Relatively low cost, and forever warranty were deal sealers.

razorfish Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 As I assumed... it looks like there isn’t any single optic dominating yet. I guess I need to start somewhere so I’m thinking I’ll start with the DeltaPoint Pro 2.5.Thanks for the opinions.

IronArcher Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Not sure it’s the “best”, but I’m still liking my Vortex Venom.The price is right, the warranty can’t be beat, and short my an error of mine, it still kicking, and holding zero.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregJ Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I've tried Burris FF 3 and Vortex Venom in 6MOA. My current is DPP 2.5, love it. Built like a tank. Buy once cry once. Also, you might keep your eye out for a used CZC Shadow slide with the mulit optic cut, and use that rather than milling a slide. This way you can easily go back to irons if you ever need to.

rowdyb Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 i ran an rmr. the other big thing i didn't like was no adjusting of brightness on the one i had. nor could you change the battery without taking it off the mount. i now have a bff2.

Scoterbeast Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Had my Shadow slide milled for DP PRO 2.5 dot. Have RTS 2 and STS 2. Bigger is better as far as lense size is my opinionSent from my SM-G530R4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jts2581 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Vortex Venom, good sized window backed with a good warranty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Honestly window size is irrelevant if your fundamentals are sound. The dot will come back down. It goes out of most other optics anyways so I would definitely recommend a Type 2 RM07. Type 1s will do you just fine as well with the addition of a sealing plate and a piece of electrical tape.

MrSmith Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I believe the same thing lacivilian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronArcher Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 For me, it’s not losing the dot when shooting, it’s getting the dot when doing unusual things... like drawing for weak hand only shots... the bigger glass helps a bit.Sure, dry fire training the hell out of it will help, but in odd circumstances you haven’t trained to death, the big lens is valuable.... also it can speed up your dry fire training as you are learning the dot.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
