Does GI have anything in the works for new RMR mounting options?It would require a modified slide cut, but we can handle that.

Not too many S/D situations happening at 25 yards. Dead battery, no dot was the point I was going to make. Precision pistol it shot at 50 yards, all with open sights til recent times.But you can't shoot what you can't see. Irons are awesome at 5yrds but at 25yrds the world is a blur if you are staring at your front sight.

Pete- How much time have you spent training and using a red dot equipped pistol?Not too many S/D situations happening at 25 yards. Dead battery, no dot was the point I was going to make. Precision pistol it shot at 50 yards, all with open sights til recent times.
You should. Watching other students this weekend change guns with and without red dots and seeing the instant improvement. You owe it to your self to at least try one.I want to give one a try.
I have sent a lot of rounds down range at bulls eyes with red dot sights with .45 and .22. quite a few with a red dot on a 10/22. I love the red dot sight but I would not put one on a carry gun. I have a prism scope on an AR15, it has a red or green dot with power, black without power so it's still useable if the battery is dead. All the training in the world won't make the dot red with a dead battery. A red dot is great for shooting, put the dot on a target and shoot, almost like cheating. I still won't put one on a carry gun.Pete- How much time have you spent training and using a red dot equipped pistol?

Same for me.I want to give one a try.

I have carried a pistol with a red dot for almost 5 years now...
There is a serious amount of work that goes into being proficient with a red dot on a pistol. However, once you are there, the benefits are definitely worth it.
The number one thing to help get over the learning curve is; be intimately familiar with your NPA.
Do the work, and you will reap the rewards. Of course, what part of life can't that be said about?
Wondering, if you are intimately familiar with your NPA and you have been shooting to that point for years and it has become natural......how does the red dot improve on that?
Not being sarcastic.
Man sized target most people don't have issue. Add in some distance or a smaller point of aim and bingo.Personally, I am good with target focus on a man sized target out to about 15 yards with iron sights. After that, I better start getting a nice clean sight picture before I press that trigger.
Personally I disagree with Derek, as do nearly all of the trainers I interact with on the idea of target focus. The RDS allows you to pick up the sight faster and stay focused on the dot easier than trying to decide whether to focus on the front sight (which is correct). This is what makes for more accurate shots...and this is what BE shooters have known since 1978 when Joseph P. strapped an original AimPoint on the slide of his wad gun for the first time and won a match.
