mcattack Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Will the Alfa 3 mount to a slide milled for DPP. No plate; its mounted to the slide. DPP dot is just to small for my old eyes. Edited April 20, 2020 by mcattack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, After a few years using 6 MOA Alpha 2's I decided to try 8 on the recommendation of FTP Shooting Sports. He is a hell of a lot better shooter than I with a ton more experience in the open game than me so I took his advice. The thing is so bright it's incredible, the difference is night and day to every dot I have used in both CO and Open. I am also happy to be done with the lock screws as I lost one previously.

Chili Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Got a chance to zero mine last night and run it through it's first live fire session. Dig the extra window size and it is very bright, ran it at it's lowest setting which is something I've never even come close to doing on any of my previous dots, I tended to run them darn near max brightness.

FTP_Shooting_Sports Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks for all the positive feedback. We find that most people comment on how great the dot brightness is and the very high quality glass and soft touch buttons. Although our optic is very similar to the Max, we made two very important programming changes specifically for competition shooters: 1. No wasted illumination levels for night use. That means you get more usable levels for what most of us do which is competition shooting shooting outdoors. 2. Availability of 8 MOA dot. A larger dot is easier to find in bright sunlight. Although the 6 MOA is adequate and most people will not feel it hinders them in any way, I just prefer the extra pop of the 8 dot personally. 3. Our on feature just requires a touch of either button to turn the dot on instantly at the last illumination level. The Max requires you to hold down the buttons for a few seconds to turns it on. That would be an ETERNITY at the line if you forgot to turn your dot on. 6 and 8 MOA are in stock and ready to ship. Just hop over to our web site to place an order. All our optics come with a picantiny mount including in the box and we optionally have open gun mounts in the standard C-More pattern available.

texasdawg Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I ordered one on the 24th and too was surprised it ships from Canada. Probably wouldn't have changed my mind, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. Hopefully it knocks my socks off and all will be well.
