pc13 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I’m looking at. Sig X5, but will add optic and need back up iron sights separate from the optic rear grove. I realize the rear slide is not cut for Back up iron sights if u have a Romeo pro. Does anyone have any idea how to have back up iron sights with an optic installed on the X5?

LMS Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 leupold makes a cowitness sight that attaches to a DPP, and you'd need a high front sight to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 And the fact that Leupold doesn't include one with the DPP is just wrong to me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for a duty weapon or otherwise self defense oriented request? If for competition only most do not bother with backup irons as they just slow you down. You will quickly become proficient enough that irons just get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone that recently transitioned over to RDSs, I totally agree with @ddc on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathen Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I've run a Delta Point Pro on my Staccato P 4.4" with the back up irons for years and its a great setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious - when you use the backup is it only when the dot is not working or do you use them both all/most of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGoodwin Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I agree with running optic only for competition. For carry I prefer the rear sight forward of the optic and only barely visible at the bottom of the window. Too busy otherwise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
