Carry guns with a micro dot mounted?

Very nice. I'd be concerned that there might not be enough room on the Compact slide for BUIS. I wonder if you could use the JPoint housing as a rear sight? Also, nice use of that awesome grip-tape. I'm going to have to order some more.
Your and Supermoto's explanation about dot-tracking makes sense, but I've just become used to tracking the front-sight all the way.
Is height-over-bore a poa-poi issue with the non-melted mount? I think that might be a good way to try it out, although it seems like melting is only in the 200$ range.
The JPoint has a notch in the housing to act as a rear sight. Once melted, you just have to match it to a front sight and you are good to go. No need for an additional rear sight. BTW - no grip tape on this. I stippled the strap, front grip and thumb points. The height-over-bore a poa-poi is an issue, I ran out of elevation on the JPoint and couldn't get it exact with the 40. With the 9mm conversion I was able to achieve POI-POA. Another reason why it should be melted (or you can shim it).
Dench - Bowie tactical does an awesome job melting micro's into slides. He has pricing on his website.

You know me to well. I did say it was going in the project hopper, there are a few other toys I am trying to fund right now...

I built a "Poor Mans Open Minor 10 M&P" ™ for steel challenge & knockdown steel. I put a C-More STS in a dovetail mount for the same reasons. It definitely sits too high. My mount is even taller than the one in your picture. It was a cheap way to try it out before cutting up a slide. Having the slide milled is now on the the short list.

The J Point is the one I like also as I said in my post.
Ya that was my thinking also
I thought it would be, as I said I shoot that type of sight on one of my 10/22's and my Bulls Eye guns and I realy like them.
I'm glad to hear that, as my two M&P's that I'm thinking of doing that with are 40's
What type of holster do you use ??? Is it OWB or IWB ??? I'm also a lefty and I don't realy have that type of problem. I carry OWB with thumb break holsters, maybe the extra leather there is helping me.
Again that is very good to hear
Thanks
David

That isn't correct, it does need a battery, they say it is about a 4 year life though.
Open link and click on # 4

Greg Derr would be able to do it.
He was showing me some of the guns he worked on, boy are they sweet, he did some great work on them.
I like the idea that someone else said and the way I'm going to do it when I get one of the J Point sights.
I'm going to get another slide and have the J Point sight put on that new slide and keep the other one set up with my Big Dot sight.
Actually they do offer models that don't require batteries: http://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=RM04
Dual Illuminated does not use a battery

If I decide to do one, I would do it on a second slide so I could use the pistol as it was from the factory, I don't think they come off very easily, but that is just my reading of it anyways.
Its not a Quick detach mount. So it comes off as fast as you are with a wrench
Ya the one I linked to does use a battery.
The RM01 is battery powered, I didn'r see the other one until meth0d posted it.
Here's another link to the battery one:

The Dual Illuminated does not run on batteries, I'm not sure why you keep posting that it does

Well if you would go to their sight and look at it you may see different.
They say right on their sight that one model runs a battery, are you saying that Trijicon doesn't know their own product ???
Instead of just answering that they don't run a battery why don't you look this time.
Yes they make them both ways acorrding to THEIR WEBSIGHT.
Look at their sight and learn something.
Last I'm saying on this, this line of posting is taking this thread away from this threads idea.
Right from their website, it even says Illuminated in their web link:
Trijicon RMR™
Developed to improve precision and accuracy with any style or caliber of weapon, the Trijicon RMR™ (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) is designed to be as durable as the legendary ACOG. The RM01 is an LED sight powered by a standard CR2032 battery. Housed in rugged forged aluminum, the RMR is extremely tough yet lightweight. New easy-to-use adjusters with audible clicks allow for quick windage and elevation adjustments. The new Trijicon RMR™ is tougher than any alternative and suitable for military, law enforcement and hunting applications.

OK I"m happy, you learned something.
I guess your post up above is incorrect and I was correct that they have both as I was saying.
I wasn't just posting saying "no they don't"
I looked at their sight after the 1st post and corrected my post and said "yes know I see that they make them both ways" I didn't just keep posting saying "no they don't"
Thank You for admitting it, you know say that they make them both ways.
Done on this.

Now that was fun

These guys do sight cuts for red dot installations on Glock slides. Red dots on self-defense handguns are going to be big. Red dots overcome a major shortcoming with handgun sights. With a red dot, as was pointed out, you're looking at the target and placing the dot over it. With standard iron sights you have to look at the sights to hit the target. When somebody is trying to do grave bodily injury to you, you're going to have a tough time ignoring the knife, gun, pipe, screw driver (pick one), to look at the front sight instead. On top of that, they do much that a laser sight will do.

Jezz I guess you just won't stop.
YES I said I was wrong and I corrected myself, you haven't yet !!!
Is there something wrong also, I see that you don't want anyone knowing that you are online, your little dot next to your name is not on.
As a have said, I'm done, post what you want from here, this is getting stupid !!! I feel like I'm dealing with a two year old !!!
