    Should have made it fiber optic and tritium so no fat ass was hanging out

    Looks like it would get in the way of racking the slide.

    Yeah, but there’s still a stupid plate between the slide and the gun. All you get is low bore axis and cheap co-witness.

    I don't link it and I'm a huge fan of my DPP+Glock combo which I prefer even more than the RMR setup.
    I think the new model is a step backward.

    I think this new model is intended for a different application than a DPP.

    It appears to sit flush with the top of the slide. There is a piece that goes into the dovetail for the rear sight which the rest of the dot bolts to, but I don't see there being any plate between the optic and slide?

    Exactly. If you've already got your slide milled, then this is probably not for you. This seems to be for people with no other means to mount a red dot who would otherwise be stuck with irons as their only option.

    It’s equivalent to a plate to me, the sight attaches to the dovetail piece which attaches to the slide. Maybe someone will torture test it, but I think direct milling and attachment is much better for a defensive gun.

    I feel like it would be really hard to find the dot. Like the concept though.

    That was my first impression too, but now I'm not so sure. The tube is so long and narrow you probably can't see through it very well unless its pointed straight, and it appears that you can find it pretty quickly if you are looking for the front sight through it.

    I would love to try one. Probably wouldn't buy one, too niche, but it would be cool to see how functional (or not) it is.
