ArrDave Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I am trying to get some data points on what likely lifespans are for a DPP prior to repair. So what kind of lifespan are you getting: Still going / sent for repair?Current round count or round count at repair?Dovetail mount or mill? If Milled - who milled it? Thanks in advance!

Trinimon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Curious as well. I just got an awesome deal on one (private sale). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have one with 30,000+ , one with 20,000+, one with 5,000+ and one with 1,000. The one with 30,000+ has shared dude on a CZ tactical sport .40 and an Sp01 Shadow. Milled into the slides. The key when you get a slide milled, make sure that it is milled with the mounting posts! Two post minimum, all four posts are best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I have used my DPP mounted on a CZ Shadowmate using a Henning mount all last year. I put approximately 8-9K rounds through it without issues. I have now taken my DPP off my Shadow and put it on my Shadow 2 OR, still running great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy kemlo Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I wonder if running a buffer would lengthen the life of the dpp. Like hitting something with a metal vs plastic hammer. Seems like it would take the edge off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 CZC multi-sight dovetail adapter on my CZ TS. Over 8,000 rounds with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimaryBruce Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 We've got quite a few customers with 30k+ on single DPP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeyxbat Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Mine only lasted for 8 months, i think it broke because the screws came off loose. Edited May 4, 2019 by Joeyxbat Add more content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 My first DPP lasted just shy of 18,000 rounds before I sent it in for repairs. It was mounted on a CZ P09 with milled slide. Second DPP is still going strong, not nearly as many rounds as my first one yet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimaryBruce Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Had a conversion yesterday with someone who's apparently friends with one of the main guys in the DP Pro engineering/design. (I know, I know.) ANYWAY, supposedly Leupold has figured out the source of the huge majority of the optic failures and once it's 100% tried and proven, they will begin rolling out DP Pro's with the new update. (I don't believe it will be a new generation or anything, just a silent update on the optics.) If I was following him correctly, it will be some updates that will massively reinforce the battery contact area/circuit board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I have 3 DPPs. All have been return for repairs. Round count was less than 5000 on 1, around 8000 on the other 2. Both of my CZ Sp-o1s are milled, one has the plate system from CZ Custom, the other was milled by Cajun. Leupold has been great about making the repairs and returning in a timely manner.

shakin_bakin Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Sent for repair... this week. 2,800 rounds Milled Cajun did the milling.. Currently on the spare, its got 800 rounds on it, hoping it can make it through my match this weekend that I'm traveling for. If not, I guess to the backup gun... I'm not happy with the DPPs life span. I did look inside, and the tape that holds the contact in place is for sure loose on mine and the battery contact has shifted. They really should solder that.

GregJ Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Between my two DPPs, they have been back 3 times. First one lasted over a year, CZC multi-optic cut. Will see if the DPP on my S2 with CZC plate system lasts longer. Just had to send my Venom back too, it probably had 6K rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gun will you be running? I compete with GLocks - so a 34g5. I ended up dabbling into CO the cheap way with a 17g4MOS - when I realized I liked the division I just stuck with the platform. I made this thread because a fellow CO guy postulated that the steel frames are harder on optics than plastic ones - so I asked the same question on this subforum and the glock one - so far the CZ has the highest round count optics going. It seems so far if your DPP is going to fail - it will fail between about 3k and 8k rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete change of clothes to put on after the shooting is done - rain jacket, golf umbrella, shower cap to put over your gun, golf towels to wipe off mag bodies, mag brush to clean out mags - some extra mags in case your mag goes Sword in the Stone upon being dropped and you're not convinced it's going to run. A trash bag to keep your bag in while you're shooting - though they have those covered shelters that should keep our gear pretty dry. A trash bag to put all your wet clothes in for the ride home.
