jeremy kemlo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I have a CZ shadow 2 with a delta point Pro I am not planning on dropping my gun or hitting it against anything so would there be any other reason to not remove the metal shroud on the site?

YVK Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 My only concern is that I fully expect any DPP to break at some point within 10-15,000 rounds and I am concerned with Leupold not honoring their warranty if they found any sign of tampering. I don't know for sure what they will or will not do, but I know for sure it is only a matter of time before I have to send yet another one back for repairs.

Is that what the data is showing for a dpp 10-15k of life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need that .4oz to make weight? I plan to drop mine either but I rather have it then not it’s not that cheap of a dot. Im waiting for my S2 slide to get back as well milled for dpp, but I plan to run some light weight lok palm wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it might have a slightly better sight picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're seeing the shroud while you're shooting, you're lookin at the wrong things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience, and experience of a number of my shooting mates, suggests even less, actually. My first unit broke twice, at 3 and 5K respectively. #2 and #3 are doing ok, both under 5K so far. I am aware of some units going between 10 and 20K but I don't know of any DPP owner whom I know personally and who hasn't broken a DPP.

I did make me feel better I had that shroud on there. But to be fair... I took the shroud off and it looks to be protected just as good as my viper, and my viper is at something like 12,000 rounds and still going strong.

Those vipers are a beast huh? how the brightness on the viper on a bright sunny day. I ended up going with a ddp and I’ve read that they only last 10-12k, but I don’t how solid that information is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin_bakin Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Viper has been awesome. And is SUPER bright. But, since its a bottom mount battery, I don't like that. So I switched to the DPP. I like the venom, but the window is a little funky for me. Nothing I couldn't get used to I just preferred to not get used to it. If you shoot a lot of competitions. Make sure you have a back up DPP in the bag. I've heard anywhere from 3-6K is common. Uncommon to get more than 10K rounds before they break.

hurley326 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Guess I ain’t shooting enough if I didn’t break one yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelaonerom Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’m a little confused. Have my DPP mounted on an AOS plate and about to break the 10K mark and never has my DPP failed me other than battery life twice (Preparation issue - left to the courses without spares). I’ve ran it through two Centrifuge (VCQB/Instructor, 2 Day) and a LECTC 1/2. Well.. we aren’t exactly safe queens with our primary or secondaries. My G19rds took beatings, water, mud, dirt, Etc. I was planning on snagging another one or go the Acro route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
