MattyG47 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I bought a shadow 2 a friend and it is milled for a delta point pro and that’s what came with it. I was thinking of getting something with same footprint for back up gun. For a few reasons such as it’s a back up optic if that breaks or I have for back up CO gun. Not too many options out there. DPP is ok but curious if anything would be a better choice for USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarhi Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The better choice would be getting it cut for SRO/507 Comp. There are a few places that offer that services. I never had an issue with the 507 comp nor SRO on my S2. The only issues would be changing out the extractor spring because you have to remove the dot to get access to extractor pin. Except for the 507 comp. With the 507 comp you have direct access to extractor pin without removing the dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMarl Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 What's wrong with the DPP? I have one and it is great, I have an SRO as well. Like the shake-n-wake on the DPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarhi Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The DPP is a good dot but I have major issues with it. I absolutely hate the button to turn the brightness up or down and it does not get bright enough whenever the sun is out and has full brightness.

MattyG47 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Even though its milled I can still get it remilled? Its not a bad dot but not a huge fan and but mainly looking at options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so. Its usually a one and done type of deal unless you have a plate for it. Or you have the OR version of the S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyG47 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Thanks! not many options: Romeo 1 Pro, obviously DPP, new vortex defender ST, feel like forgetting one .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarhi Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 There is the eotech eflx. I heard its good but same issue as the DPP not bright enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 with a little work you can have the slide modified for a RMR pattern, which is the most common. they'd need to mill out the other mounting holes and fill with inserts most likely, but it can be done. I went through a half dozen DPP before switching to an SRO, it hasn't failed me yet, but the DPPs were a monthly failure item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyG47 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Thanks all, I think I will try the new vortex and see how that goes since on DPP footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnex95 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I’d be curious to know how you like the new vortex, hard to beat the warranty. I actually have 3 DPP’s and I usually have them at full brightness or one step down during the weekend matches in full sunlight and they seem perfect. On my trijicons I never run them at full brightness. I try to make sure I stay target focused and not get sucked into the dot, so stepping them down a few notches seems to work well.

shred Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Newer DPPs seem to be a lot more robust than the old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPP is ok but curious if anything would be a better choice for USPSA. Try the new Vortex Defender-ST. It's the same footprint and much, much more robust. I ran mine in a Stoeger class back in Feb when they released and it was solid over a couple thousand rounds in 2 days. I'll be running it more now that I'm done with irons and Heavy division until TX3G 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyG47 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 How does the vortex compare to the SRO or 507 comp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcar157 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) All Vortex optics carry a lifetime warranty no matter who owns the optic. If they can't fix it they will replace it. Big, big selling point for the Vortex. Defender-ST (vortexoptics.com) Edited May 12 by pcar157 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyG47 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Well I broke my DPP and I see Vortex has a limited run of a new Comp model with DPP footprint, so maybe a good replacement if mine isnt warrantied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawlsville Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Sig Romeo 3 Max Pro is soon to be available and has the DPP footprint. Love my Romeo 3 XL dots on my other pistols and will be giving this a try for my DPP cut Shadow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
