I learned this past Thursday that if you run around in pouring rain and the option basically fills up with water, that is not good.
I will be doing closed emitter or irons going forward for anything in my battle belt. |

Gun in a holster facing down collects water, when you bring the gun up to target does the water defy gravity and still stay fully pooled on the glass? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sparky-kb: Anyone got a good training technique for dialing in the presentation? I'm new to pistol dots and have been working on presentation for a couple of weeks. I'm to the point that 95% of the time the dot is in the window and on target when I draw. The other 5% is what keeps me from carrying it yet. I have to make a conscious effort to do everything right. Does it ever become completely natural feeling? With irons I draw and it's just on target. I'm assuming that's because the eyes see the irons as they are coming into view and are aligned without thought as they move to the target. It aso seems that I need to put at least 5 or 10 reps in at the start of the day because my first few are usually off. Most of the time the dot is slightly out of the window to the 12 o'clock if it's "missing" unless my grip is jacked up. Just keep doing what I'm doing or does anyone have some drills/reading/videos that would help me out? Have you seen Ben's video yet? He's dead on about the need to develop an index instead of relying on a technique.  How to Find Your Dot |

It does eat batteries more than I’d like. I’m changing out the batteries about every 6 months or so. It’s still extremely clear and works very well under NODs. I really like how low it sits. I shot my first IDPA match with it today and came in 4th overall and won a stage. The MPS makes accuracy easy and I don’t see a drop in my speed. The only thing, I wish I would have waited for the FDE one they just released. |

I don’t remember if they did or not. Something you can try to simulate having no dot/glass damaged and showing no dot by putting a piece of masking tap over the emitter and then see if you can hit the target. As long as your fundamentals are good you should be able to hit it. |

It’s basically an Aimpoint ACRO cut which is like a mini pic rail but not in any standard 1913 Picatinny dimensions as far as I can tell. The MPS is slightly shorter in length than an ACRO. If you get a slide cut for it or need a plate, the ACRO is the way you want to go. Some machine shops mill an MPS specific cut and it generally doesn’t fit the ACRO by about 1mm. An MPS on an ACRO cut leaves about a 1mm gap at the front. It’s not a function problem, just aesthetic. If you zoom in you can see the gap at the front of the optic.

Steiner- Mines still going strong been very happy with it. I’ve not lost a battery yet maybe I got a great batch of Duracells lol. Only thing I need to do is figure out lower sights the trijicon suppressor height are taller then necessary with the MPS and FCD plate. Had the MPS off recently for one month while testing out the 509T. Glad to have it back on.
I believe Closed emitters bring some benefits to the table however I would without hesitation be comfortable with open I’d simply clean it a bit more often. |

I can also see the benefits and they're worth it to me. Pay particular attention to one thing that Ben mentioned about shooters not grabbing and gripping the gun the same way every time. You can work all of this out during dry fire and I've found that it works itself out within the first month or so. I've seen the same issues with guys moving to LPVOs from red dots where they don't mount and grip the gun the same way every time so they wonder why they see scope shadow sometimes. |

The footprint is the "same" as an Aimpoint Acro, however the clamp on the side to tighten it to the slide or optic plate are in different locations between the Acro and MPS. I bought an optic plate for an Acro and it would not allow my MPS to properly attach. I bought an MPS specific optic plate which (oddly) allows both the MPS and the Acro to attach. |

DPP is a good optic.
I somewhat concur on the electonics issues, I had a first gen and occasionally it would just shut off on me. Other than that it did run reliably for about 11K rounds on a slide ride 9mm. I ended up selling it for cheap just because I figured I should get rid of it before it died permanently. No experience with gen 2 but I know a few guys running it that like it just fine and no problems. |

DPP glass is so clear. It's right up there with the Steiner MPS.

I will be doing closed emitter or irons going forward for anything in my battle belt. I’ve never experienced this with my SCS before. |

Neat.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sparky-kb: Anyone got a good training technique for dialing in the presentation? I'm new to pistol dots and have been working on presentation for a couple of weeks. I'm to the point that 95% of the time the dot is in the window and on target when I draw. The other 5% is what keeps me from carrying it yet. I have to make a conscious effort to do everything right. Does it ever become completely natural feeling? With irons I draw and it's just on target. I'm assuming that's because the eyes see the irons as they are coming into view and are aligned without thought as they move to the target. It aso seems that I need to put at least 5 or 10 reps in at the start of the day because my first few are usually off. Most of the time the dot is slightly out of the window to the 12 o'clock if it's "missing" unless my grip is jacked up. Just keep doing what I'm doing or does anyone have some drills/reading/videos that would help me out? Once I started using a very thumbs high/thumbs forward grip, I realized that if I just concentrated on pointing my thumbs directly at the target, the dot would be there. Previously I used the cowitness irons as a crutch (once you're about 65% lined up the dot is there and you can forget the irons). The thumbs thing is faster. Get your grip right/consistent. |

I will be doing closed emitter or irons going forward for anything in my battle belt. Gun in a holster facing down collects water, when you bring the gun up to target does the water defy gravity and still stay fully pooled on the glass? If there’s one thing that this thread has taught me, it’s that closed emitter people are drama queens I use RMRs on carry guns and a DPP on my match gun. Been dotting pistols since 2017. In that time I've had exactly one failure I think could have been avoided by using a closed emitter. In Alaska, hiking in pretty heavy snowfall. RMR on a Glock 19 in an OWB holster. Window filled up with snow, which continuously melted and refroze because its next to my body heat. It turned the "bowl" of the optic into an ice brick. If I needed to use it I would have been point shooting over the top of the window since I couldn't see through the window at all. I'm still using RMRs. |

Neat. I'm planning to buy the R1P direct from Sig, I don't see enough price difference to not. Best place for the DPP? Thanks! |
