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

Will not fitA Shield RMSc-footprint optic will not fit a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro slide cut. The RMSc micro cut does not match the DeltaPoint Pro pattern, so an RMSc optic will not sit on a DPP slide. Use an RMSc-cut slide, or a DPP-pattern optic.

This is the pistol-slide question: your optic is cut for the Shield RMSc footprint, and the slide in front of you is milled for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro pattern. The RMSc micro cut does not match the DeltaPoint Pro pattern, so an RMSc optic will not sit on a DPP slide.

Match the optic to the cut instead of forcing it. An rmsc-cut slide, or a dpp-pattern optic keeps the sight seated square so it holds zero under slide cycling.
