A Leupold DeltaPoint Pro-cut optic on a Shield RMSc slide: whether it fits, why, and what to buy so the dot seats square.

Will not fitA Leupold DeltaPoint Pro-footprint optic will not fit a Shield RMSc slide cut. The DeltaPoint Pro footprint is larger than the RMSc micro cut, so a DPP optic will not fit an RMSc slide. Use a DPP-cut slide or plate, or an RMSc micro dot.

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 Shield RMSc pattern. The DeltaPoint Pro footprint is larger than the RMSc micro cut, so a DPP optic will not fit an RMSc slide.

Match the optic to the cut instead of forcing it. A dpp-cut slide or plate, or an rmsc micro dot keeps the sight seated square so it holds zero under slide cycling.
