I'm still confused as to why somebody would ever want to put an RDS on a handgun that small.
The current trend seems to be trying to make the 365 fit every application, instead of keeping it as a small compact handgun.

I literally was dumbfounded when I discovered that there's actually a f***ing Glock 43X MOS... like "but y tho?" Etc. The whole point of that class of handguns is to be smaller.

as i dry fire it at right this moment, actually, i can say again - the front sight is so crazy UGLY fat - it is not easy to see anything well nor align it well - trying to hit 1/2" bullseye laser target at 20ft.I literally was dumbfounded when I discovered that there's actually a f***ing Glock 43X MOS... like "but y tho?" Etc. The whole point of that class of handguns is to be smaller. In every
dimension. I can't see the point of putting an RDS on anything smaller than like a G19, frankly.
I had my 365 milled for a shied RMSc dot, which has a really small footprint and weighs just over an ounce I think. My problem is I can't see the front sight any longer.I literally was dumbfounded when I discovered that there's actually a f***ing Glock 43X MOS... like "but y tho?" Etc.

So I kind of agree with you. Guns that are small enough that you can’t get a full firing grip I would never bother getting a RDS because it’s counterintuitive entirely to go for the smallest package available.I literally was dumbfounded when I discovered that there's actually a f***ing Glock 43X MOS... like "but y tho?"

I dunno. Frankly I can't imagine having the option of a dot sight....and not taking it.I literally was dumbfounded when I discovered that there's actually a f***ing Glock 43X MOS... like "but y tho?" Etc. The whole point of that class of handguns is to be smaller. In every

You probably didn't want the shit version with the safety on it. That's why they had them there. The unf***ed ones are harder to come by.

The 365 definitely straddles that line. But anything like the 365XL and 43X are basically single stack slightly reduced frame of original compacts like the 19. (in size at least for the 365XL since it’s stack and a half) They lose a lot of the grip “fullness” and a little bit of barrel, but the biggest thing is savings of width. Allowing people who struggle with the larger guns to have something very close to a full-size/full-size compact option.
So having a red dot sight on something mildly comparable to a full-size compact (more accurate description of a 19 equivalent)
So guns like the 365XL and 43X are more the new compacts while the 365 and 43 are micros.
The issue in practice is that all of the options for micro RDS have unreliable track records at best.
romeo zero has problems
Shield RMSc has problems
The holosun micro has problems

The other problem on the micros is the window is the size of a f***ing thimble. So you're looking into a TV set that was basically designed for ants, mounted on the top of a
handgun. Every time I pick up a gun with a small micro RDS on it, my gut reaction is "blech".
Like I can see how someone would think a normal sized handgun RDS was "kinda cool". I get that... but on a 43X, or a 365, etc? Blech. Vomitar!
