So as some here know I recently put a Holosun 507c on my full size .40 S&W, however I also regularly carry a M&P Shield. Typically the three guns I regularly carry and compete with all have the same sights. For the last three years those have been the excellent Ameriglo T-CAPS.
Those who know my shop also know I research a lot of products so that I can give knowledgeable advice. A number of my clients especially law enforcement have been switching to RDS for their handguns typically Trijicon RMR. Well the RMR is the gold standard and I have shot it extensively, I had the chance to test the Holosun 507c which for personal carry and competition I much prefer because of the 35MOA reticle with 2MOA dot in the center. The sight is super fast and allows me to stay threat focused rather than focusing on the front sight, something as I spend more time in force on force training I appreciate more and more.
I scoured the internet and could only find on video showing either the Glock 43 or M&P Shield with an RDS and in both cases it was the fragile "Shield" brand RDS. There is a company that makes a dove tail mount for the G43 to take an RMR but so far no info on performance, and the Outer Impact dove tail mount will work for the M&P Shield with RMR. The Holosun 507c has the same footprint as the RMR.
So far I love it. Got bounced around the range the other day at On-Target because of classes that need range space so didn't finish getting a zero. Was just about nailed in with my practice ammo, but didn't get to fine tun the zero with my carry ammo. Got a couple of rapid fire box drills in at 7 and 15 yards with very good results and Mozambique drills on a target at 25 yards with good results.
Have the custom holster and am getting experience carrying the gun now. Hope to shot an USPSA match Thursday night with it, if I get the zero nailed down.
