Does a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro-footprint red dot fit a Docter / Noblex slide cut? Will not fit. Why, and the plate or optic to use instead.

Will a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro optic fit a Docter / Noblex slide cut?
A Leupold DeltaPoint Pro-cut optic on a Docter / Noblex slide: whether it fits, why, and what to buy so the dot seats square.
This is the pistol-slide question: your optic is cut for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprint, and the slide in front of you is milled for the Docter / Noblex pattern. The DeltaPoint Pro and Docter/Noblex are separate footprints, so a DPP optic will not drop onto a Docter slide.
Match the optic to the cut instead of forcing it. A deltapoint pro-cut slide or plate keeps the sight seated square so it holds zero under slide cycling.
