Default Colt Delta Elite 10mm needs optic

My Delta Elite needs an optic, I need help to choose either Deltapoint Pro or Trijicon or any recommendations. Also, which mounts to use.

Purpose is for 3Gun matches.

Or any highly recommended gunsmith near Los Angeles or OC that can mill/install RMR for the Delta Elite.

Don't desecrate your Delta.

There are non-destructive ways of mounting an optic to your Colt, as TKM has pointed out.

Save slide milling for something more expendable.

For 3-Gun you'd probably be better served with the wider field of view of the Deltapoint

Here are some mounts that replace the rear sight: https://www.egwguns.com/pistol-and-r...t-cut/?cat=645

Sell your off roster Delta for $1100 and buy an optics ready handgun. One in a more 3-gun friendly chambering while you’re at it. If your vision is declining in acuity then arthritis in the hands and wrists might approach sooner rather than later.

Appreciate all the positive feedbacks. I’ve had this pistol for more than 15 yrs - very reliable and accurate. Maybe I should just keep it as vintage, thanks again!
