Well then... If getting Zero'ed at 25 yards can help keep me from getting shot in the testicles... Then I'm all in balls deep at going back to the range and having a do-over.

Thanks! I've lurked around for a while now and read lots of threads, but being still relatively new to handguns, never hard an opportunity to contribute much to the conversations until now.

But, It is not a hole really, doesn't go all the way through, more like a pit mark. Just saw the post where someone said this is a mark from where they tested the hardness? Will see if customer service confirms this.

That's what I figure. If I zero at 7 yards, then I should be good should SHTF at 7 yards or less. To Zero at 25 yards, not sure how that would change POI at 5 or 7 yards. It would only take being a few inches off to miss my target and hit a bystander. Like you say, I feel a lot more...

Interesting... I wonder if it is some sort of stamp? Maybe there is a very tiny serial number inside that hole, like they engrave numbers onto diamonds? Or maybe one of the dies at the SA factory has a small blemish in it? I sent a support email to customer service and sent the same pics...

No, but I was in a Field Artillery unit when I was stationed over in Berlin, Germany back in the 80's. I was Signal, took care of all the comms equipment in the SP-109 guns and support vehicles. I was in the Advance Party and once I had wire and phones ran so the Gunners could talk to Chief of...

That's a good point. Part of my issue I think is after plunking down $899 for the RDP, I want to "baby it" so as not to break it and have thrown all that money down the drain....that sort of mentality. I originally bought a Walther PPQ M2 4" ..was my first ever handgun....also had rifles...

Yeah, Don't go waking up the Misses late at night...😀

Very interesting. I never knew that a screw and screw hole only match up at a single point. It makes more sense to me, to use alignment dots or markings to keep an eye on whether the screws are loosening up. That was my exact thought the first time I shot rhe RDP and Zero'ing in the RDS. I...

Hi, I'm going to email Springfield Armory customer service and attach some pics, showing a small pit or pinhole on the side of the barrel, down near the end that is closest to the breach. I noticed it while cleaning it the other day, but just now taking pics. Does anyone know what this is, or...

So, Just got back from the range to check the Zero of the Wasp since I had to take it off to replace the battery earlier today. It was off about 2 to 2.5 inches low and 1 inch to the left. Got it Zero'ed back in and now punching holes about the size of a quarter at 7 yards. I know it's not...

Yes, I was bummed about that at first as well, and was hesitant to get the RDP just because the Wasp was an always on optic. But have heard from sever folks and a few reviews/blogs, that it is actually one less thing to worry about or to go wrong. In the heat of the moment, if SHTF and you...

Hey now, that's a great idea! Not only that, but if you ever have an issue and have to talk to customer service or get warranty work, you have all the details and could help in getting SA to accept responsibility for a repair versus you. They would have to know with all that log data that you...

Makes sense. The most recent Armory Life email has a video link where someone is reviewing the Hex Wasp. He says even though it claims to last 2 years (and in general most others say last a year), he makes it a practice to change out the batteries twice a year. Each time Daylight Savings...

How do I check the build date? I was assuming this was fresh from the factory, as everything is always sold out the past year or two now, and they get new shipments in each week. They have been sold out at my LGS every time I checked, and I just happened to luck out one Thursday evening when I...

So, I just bought the Hellcat RDP on the 1st of July, and already the battery has died. Per SA's site, the battery should last 65,000 hours and elsewhere they say it should last 2 years. I'm quite sure the gun I just bought has not been lying around in stock for 2 years or more. The only...

Oh cool! Well then, maybe I can save about $90 and buy either the SMSc or RMSc with the plastic lens and not worry about upgrading to the glass lens version.

Good points. I guess I get swayed a little too much in what I read in some posts by others and blogs, where other folks talk about the flimsy or cheap plasticky feel of these sights...etc...and how some field test them and saw they can rack their slide with a particular RMR because of the...

Yes, I guess I was just thinking, that if the optic ever did fail just ad I needed to use my gun to defend myself...wouk That's true, guess I was just thinking about that possible rare scenario that at the exact moment I may have to use my weapon to defend myself the optic may fail, and was...

Thanks!
