I had the dot in a Trijicon sight go "out of focus". Got glasses and the problem was fixed.

Shane, don't know if you've gone down the road yet or not. But, this is a darn good deal. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=2047219&categoryId=0&parentCategoryId=0&subCategoryId=0&indexId=0&itemGUID=ae8b749fac1084506db022d3027f343a&destination=%252Fuser%252Forder_details.cmd%253Fid%253D4GMbX1fjI4ZrBkrNSO0e9w%25253D%25253D%2526key%253D82d72be396bc464d99aac30724a73bb8 Use code 7DADSDAY for free shipping. I just bought one and don't even have the gun yet. Figure the money I saved can flush out some of the gun cost. I went with the 3.25 MOA after reading up on the differences. Here's one of the articles. https://bigtexoutdoors.com/blogs/news/differences-between-trijicon-rmrsGood luck with the eyes. I'm in the same boat, but have been there longer.

I have a Leupold Delta Point on my MOS 40 and really like it. I may have to pick up one of these, too. I'll find someplace to use it.

Greg, the $349 price from Cabelas was too good to pass up. It's the LED version, not the dual version, but I can live with that. Out of stock though, two week back order. Had to place a separate order with Amazon to get the AC32064 mounting kit. Trijicon customer service said that the MOS kit that came with the G40 does not have the right screws or the water proofing plate. Another $17 bucks.

Sam, I felt the same way. Glad you were able to pick one up at that price. Forgot to point out, a lot of the reviews I read favored the LED's over the dual illumination models. The duals don't have a manual brightness adjustment. The LED's do. You can take the LED's up from 3.25 (if you buy that model) to about a 5-6 MOA dot by simply bumping up the brightness adjustment. The dual illumination models' dots start with a 7 MOA model and go up to 12.9 MOA model. I liked the idea of starting with the 3.25 MOA and being able to work up to around a 5-6 MOA. The duals were also reported to have problems with the dot washing out in low light. One last reason I chose the LED is when the tritium goes dead in 10 years on the duals, you have to buy another sight. Not simply replace a battery. At that price, I'll just keep it in the safe until I get the G41 or G40. Your purchase of the G40 intiated a blast of research on my end and I may end up with that one instead. BTW- the 3.25 MOA LED model is the RM06.

It's the LED version, not the dual version, but I can live with that. What is there to "live with" in that deal? The LED is by far the better version for anyone who can access batteries once a year or so. It's also significantly more expensive, making this an even better deal.

I'm in the "over 50" bi focal group also. I had S&W performance center 9mm with a Trijicon dual illumination dot sight. It had a 9moa dot. Two things I didn't like about the sight. One, the dot was to large beyond 25 yards. Two, I disliked the pinkish lens coating on that model. It sucked in low light and obscured the front sight. I did work well with my aging eyes as far as the red dot sight was considered. Fast and accurate. My next one will have a battery and a 3-5moa dot, with clear lens coatings.

There are mounts that replace the rear sight on a Glock slide, so milling the slide is not required. I had one on a G20 to mount a Fast Fire III, and never had a problem with it. Might do the same on the G23 .40 S&W I will be using with a suppressor a lot - avoid needing "suppressor height" sights, and get a better sighting system, also. This will be a home defense and truck gun, mostly, not much carry use.

Was telling my bud Mannlicher I wish I'd signed up for Cabelas rewards many years ago when I was buying tons of ammuntion from them. I'm in the "over 50" bi focal group also. I had S&W performance center 9mm with a Trijicon dual illumination dot sight. It had a 9moa dot. Two things I didn't like about the sight. One, the dot was to large beyond 25 yards. Two, I disliked the pinkish lens coating on that model. It sucked in low light and obscured the front sight. I did work well with my aging eyes as far as the red dot sight was considered.

Mike You are correct that dovetail mounts are available, but it would be a mistake to think they are anywhere near as good as milling the slide and having co-witnessed sights. The only advantage of a dovetail mount is price, and they have serious disadvantages especially when you need to aquire the dot in a hurry, like a defense situation.
