Ahhhhh Im not the only one that can work a thumb safety.......
Getting red dot curious now that I got two pistols ready to don one.
Guessing as Leupold and the Sig products are direct bolt on they come from the same manufacturing source.....guessing that would be Asia.
Im kind of a Trijicon fan boi for the made in USA tag.
How has the Leupold/Sig products been to your actual user knowledge?
That one is the M17 pattern SIG so it was setup to have the baseplate for the Delta Point Pro which is what the initial military contract called for the base to be compatible with. As I understand it, later ones that are similar but not specifically the "M17" pattern, are setup for other more common RDS including SIGs own ones.
Just as a note, if someone hates the safety, you could just swap out the FCG and have the same pistol without the safety.
Also as a note, it comes with the M sized grip, but my hands work better with the S sized grip so I bought the S grip module from the SIG webstore, cut out the safety notch with a Dremel and it was a much better fit for me.
I've shot the setup a few times and the combo works together really well.
The pistol shoots accurately and the trigger is decent enough you don't really need to worry about upgrades.
The DPP has a wider field of view than the smaller Trijicon RDS ones and the dot is easy to pickup.
What I like about that combo is that the DPP has a very nice (but like $100) metal, fully adjustable rear sight option (which you see installed) that lets you co-witness your front sight with the rear sight, so you can use it just as you would without the RDS.
Personally I really like the setup and that's my current bedside HD pistol.
I have a more expensive Trijicon RDS (current generation) on a CZ pistol and if I had to do it over again, I'd put the DPP instead as I personally find I can pickup the dot much faster with the DPP
That being said, I'm not about to go beating on my pistols and optics that I had to work hard for the money to buy, so I can't speak to if the DPP survives more drops and bashes and hammer hits than the other ones, somebody else will have to do that testing if they want it done. But feels rock solid and appears that it would take an extreme amount of abuse to damage it.
The only other upgrade I would consider to it, would be to see about getting an extended, threaded barrel as it would be nice to shoot that suppressed.
