I need to reserve some observations on the EFLX till it goes live, till then, the things I can share:
DPP footprint is good, we don't need yet another footprint Sight body is thinner than that of the DPP, but thicker than the RMR, you'll need sight sets with 0.365 or 0.040 for lower 1/3 co-witness Window is smaller than DPP but larger than RMR Lens is well recessed, you can rack the slide with the EFLX without damaging the lens, but the same can be said of most open emitter red dot sights too. We will buy one as soon as it's released. Its being made in the USA is a great thing, and the price point is between an RMR and H sight, I think it'll do well. |

For the RMR type 2 folks, I’m curious if your glass has a bunch of occlusions/bubbles in it?
This can’t be right. Literally just bought it. Attached File Attached File It’s hard to capture on camera, but there’s spots all over and in the glass. One is right in the middle of the glass and looks like a dark spot in the middle of the dot. Can’t see them until the dot is visible in the window. I tried cleaning the glass and blowing out the emitter. |

You may need to give them a call. |

The banning or confiscation of weapons is a denial of the nature of Man, a pathetic attempt to avert the violence innate to Mankind, an insult to the Sacred Creed of the Murdercube.

Yep call Trijicon, partly what you paid for is excellent customer service and support.

This one is so bad it looks like one central dot surrounded by a dozen little tiny dots all over the glass as all of those bubbles pick up the light as well. It’s like looking at a dime store diamond, with black spots and inclusions in it. |

The backup sight that can be installed on the back of the DPP doesn't get much love, it's not very good, Leupold won't mind me saying so, as it likes our DPP plate and Dawson sights for LE and MIL applications.
Being the sight body is not as thick as the DPP's but still thicker than the RMR's, sight sets with 0.365 should be enough to provide lower 1/3 co-witness. As a reference, DPP require sight sets with a 0.5 front sight. Originally Posted By MeatBag: Using the DPP footprint makes it obvious they want a mil contract for the SIGs.

That height sounds crazy, but it's not too bad when everything is installed. No agencies I know of will allow a red dot gun without backup sights on duty, DPP's window is huge and clear, the tall backup sights are a compromise, it's not as bad as one might think.

I just recently returned my RMR for a similar issue. A bad batch may have gotten past QC.

I'm hoping the Eotech durability tests start coming out soon (and they actually become available). I've been wanting to cut an M&P but have been holding out for the footprint. I'd like to try DPP instead of RMR, but if there are no durable options then I guess it will be rmr again. Hopefully the eotech solves the problem. If it passes Cowans drop test I'll commit.

The Leupold DPP micro is just a ghost ring, it sucks. The DPP I am not crazy about; I don't like the footprint, it is ugly, it is tall, and turning these things on and off blocks the emitter so it is sort of a pain to verify that it is on/off. The RomeoZero was kind of a similiar experience. TLDR, buy Trijicon. If you can't afford it, buy a Holosun that fits an RMR cut. |

A question of etiquette... As i pass ..Do I give you the ass or the crotch..??

I'm getting set to have my 19 slide milled for a RMR.
do you guys have any advantages/cons to putting the rear iron site either in front or behind the rmr? what's your reasoning for liking one over the other? I'm sure it's been discussed but trying to scan 50 pages... appreciate the help. |

Both of my RMRs are mounted in front of the rear sight, but that's because they're both MOS/FCD and Staccato plate systems. If I was going to mill a gun for an RMR, I would put the rear sight forward of the RMR.

Ok, if you were gonna get a set of irons, blacked out rear, tritium front, lower third, not suppressor height, what sights would you choose?
Thanks. |

We’ll I’m a believer. Took my 507c and got it sighted in, and saw a big difference in my group sizes…also realized how unsteady my hands are…. Oh well, still get all A shots at 25 yards.
Not the biggest fan of the ACSS chevron, love the giant ring, but kinda wish it had a dot with the ring. I find the chevron harder to zero personally than a dot. |
