Best micro optic for pistol?

[JACKSMYDOG]

Interested in a pistol slide mounted optic and wondering if anyone has much experience yet.

Looking for you recommendations on make, model, price and availability in Canada.

EOTech, Docter, and C-more can be had here under $500 but the Leupold Deltapoint is over 1K on Amazon.ca (the only place I found it in Canada).

Any experience or intel is appreciated.

Frontier carries the Deltapoint. The Burris FastFire III is another option.

I have 2 Deltapoints and am happy with them. One is mounted on my SIG P229 and the other is on my 1911. Bought one new from CGN dealer and the other used from the EE on CGN. Used one was $300 shipped.

Thanks for the tip for Frontier. I'm not a Burris fan, so no Fastfire for me.

I have an eye on the Trijicon RMR for a pistol... but didn't try it... just read about it...

I have this one (Trijicon ACOG / RMR Combo) on my AR... love it!

One issue with the RMR, pistol mounts are virtually impossible to get. Deltapoint comes with pistol mounts and pictanny mount as well.

Unless you purchase the S&W M&P 9 C.O.R.E.

It's going on a Glock 34 MOS which comes with adapter plates for all the sights I listed and the Trijicon RMR.

Leupold was my first choice, but I didn't like the prices I found until the Frontier link was posted. I'm sure all the others are great but pretty much sold on the Leupold now.

Did you check p&d for the deltapoint.

Did you check p&d for the deltapoint.

Just looked at their site, which only lists what they can get, not what they have in stock. I'll give them a call when I'm ready to order to check price and availability.

The RMR is top of the line IMO but you will pay top $ for it never ran the eotech yet, hear mostly good about the delta. Burris is best bang for the buck I have a FF2 on my FNX 45 Tac and it functions as it should only down side is when sighting in and in the unlikely event that you need to change battery you need yo remove it from the pistol which gets annoying when initially sighting in

Vortex Viper is new, don't see any reviews on it but it's another option. Think they run $329 CDN retail price.

I have 2 vortex, both had been returned.... I prefer Trijicon

My Strikefire has been awesome on my JRC. Of course, that's not a compact rds though. I hear Vortex's warranty and CS is excellent, haven't used it yet.

 

[MysticMartin]

Vortex warranty is excellent... but I prefer good product that I don't need to return than good warranty on bad product
