Chutist Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Anybody else see this? https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/performance-center-model-327-wr-jerry-miculek-world-record-revolver New revolver, okay, but the OPTIC on it is something I haven't seen before!? : ABOUT THE VORTEX COMPDOT™ The rush of competitive shooting may bring us all together. But when you want an optic that sets you apart, depend on the COMPDOT™. Target to target. Stage to stage. It’s built tough as nails around a massive sight window that delivers greater peripheral vision and increasing speed for follow-up shots so you always come out on top. 8MOA Dot Color: Bright Red Auto-Shutoff Motion Activation Battery: CR2032 Battery Life (@ Setting 6): 25,000 HRS https://vortexoptics.widen.net/view/pdf/0ot9gvznuw/VTX_M-00341-0_WEB.pdf?t.download=true&u=9oqiqe Looks like there's a 5 MOA too. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-compdot-red-dot+reticle-5~MOA~Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 The Compdot has been out for a few months now. It looks like a pretty robust sight, but it's considerably higher cost than a Holosun 507 Comp and it uses the Delta Point footprint, two big negatives for me.

shred Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 There's some new Vortex dot supposedly dropping in a couple days, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa-XD45 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I believe that's the DEFENDER-XL. https://vortexoptics.com/reddots-defender-xl-micro-red-dot+reticle-5~MOA~Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutist Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 (edited) I'm seeing $399 for the "street price" at Shooters Connection? That would look to be a non-starter vs $369 street for the Holosun 507 COMP. Unless there's some extra feature I'm missing? DPP pattern seems to go against the almost industry standard RMR. Edited June 4 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the DPP pattern will fit on a 1911 slide directly. RMR pattern has to have an adapter plate. So, if the vortex works, it could be the go-to optic for limited optics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Yes, DPPs will bolt straight onto Stacattos. The cut also fits a plate that adapts to other wider footprints like RMR (and there's a thin DPP plate that has recoil lugs and a BUIS) The reason RMR is "standard" in the competition world is the reliability of SROs versus everything else.

Chutist Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 If it can mount directly on the 2011 stuff, that would be a good niche. And they include the plate for the Glock crowd. Regardless, nice to have options! Hope they sell a bunch of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
