Just purchased a Sig P229 Pro and its slide is optics ready for the Delta Point Pro, which just came in today. I’m glad I watched your video first. I just ordered the Wheeler Torque wrench off Amazon. It’s gone up in price since you got yours, but after watching this I think it’ll be a smart purchase. Just the video I needed. Thanks.
Great review and demonstration on install. I'll be buying one soon. Leupold is my go to brand for anything optic related.. they just know how to build. Awesome 👍
Question for you. One of the main features of the X Vtac is the Vtac sights. It seems that you lose those by adding the red dot. What advantages did you see that made you lose the sights and still want the x vtac configuration? I have the X Vtac and like the sights so much that I don't plan on getting a red dot for it. Also, there is no co witness using the red dot on the X vtac. I would love to hear your thoughts
That’s a great question. For me, it was a good deal at the time. I got a red dot compatible slide, x-5 grip module, and the Vtac sights all in one package. It does suck that you can’t co-witness or at least with the set-up I have. My main focus was to get that configuration to use with a red dot. I’m sure there are way better options that are cheaper or make more sense, but this is the one worked for my situation. The gun has been great and the red dot has worked perfectly and is still going strong. I hope this answered your question and thanks again for watching!
@@paparomeoproductions5956 Thanks for the reply, which makes sense. I know that the Delta Point Pro optic is generally better than the Sig alternative. However as I have kept learning, I have understood that the Sig Romeo partially witnesses with the X Vtac. Is that your understanding? If so, would it change your choice of optic? Thanks again.
I’ve seen some of the sig optics that co-witness with X-5 variants, but I’m not sure about with the Vtac. I didn’t go with the sig red dot at first because I didn’t like the polymer, but the newer models seem to have a better housing on them. I try not to be a fanboy for certain optics/firearms. However I am open to new products. I have a holosun optic on my carry handgun which has worked great. I think it comes down to personal preference. If you can get hands on with one I always recommend that over someone else’s opinion. I think you really can’t go wrong these days.
@@paparomeoproductions5956 Thanks. I think I will keep waiting. I have a 365 for CC, and I don’t put a light or optic on it so that it stays small. I live in AZ where it is warm and I don't wear a lot of loose clothes or layers. But funnily I just ordered a CAA MCK for it with a Micro Optic from Crimson Trace, so I will start practicing with that. I may wait on adding an optic to the 320 until I can find one that co-witnesses. I really like the quality of the Delta Point Pro and if they revise in the future to co-witness then that might be when I finally say go.
Sounds like a solid plan to me honestly. I know I’ve spent a lot of money on stuff that I settled for when I should have waited for the thing I actually wanted. Let me know if you do end up getting something that you can co-witness.
Thanks man! I bought mine at a local shop, but here's a link to one at optics planet! www.opticsplanet.com/leupold-deltapoint-pro-matte-7-5-moa-delta-dot-sight.html
Thanks my man. I have an olight pl pro. People talk bad about them, but mine has held up pretty well for over a year and a half. I made my own kydex holster to fit my setup. Thanks for watching!
Hey, thanks for watching! So, I was using a safariland 7378 7TS ALS holster. However once I got the optic I knew it wasn't going to work. I actually ended up making a holster using a cheap kydex press that I made out of foam and some scrap pieces of wood. I highly recommend safariland and to go check out their website that has different models for specific handguns!
Now I could be completely wrong. But, I believe this firearm was built to accept the romeo 1 and the leupold deltapoint pro without the need of an adapter plate. So the specs of those optics match the factory slide cut. This wont be the same case for other optics and other slides!
Unfortunately not on my handgun. It came with the stock VTAC sights. However you could swap them out for supressor height sights and be able to co-witness with the red dot.
I’m not sure to be honest, I would go to your local shop and see if you can talk about it fitting. See if you can take your slide in, and maybe they will let you try out some different optics.
That's a great question. I debated over it for quite a while. I watched quite a few reviews on both, and got hands on with them. I liked the size of the rmr and it's build. However, the DPP had a bigger window, the glass was a little bit clearer in my opinion, it's motion activated, and you can swap the battery out without taking the optic off of the slide and re-zero it. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either one!
Honestly man there are so many schools of thought. Typically 10,15, 25. I’m sure people could argue this all day about what the effective range of a pistol is, or how most encounters are within 7 yards. You’re gonna have an offset and I suggest zeroing and training g for what you find important. Hope this answered your question somewhat! Thanks for watching!

Just picked up my X-VTAC yesterday. Can’t wait to get this sight for it. Beautiful pistol.
Hell yeah dude! You’re gonna love it, it’s been great so far!!!
Appreciate the feedback!!! Putting rounds through it in three days, can’t wait!!

I’m glad the video helped. The torque wrench is so worth it. I’ve used it in a bunch of other projects! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video information on this is surprisingly hard to find
Absolutely man, glad it helped!!!

Thank you my man, glad you liked it. I'm pretty sure you'll like your optic! Thanks again for watching!

Can you link where you bought that red dot? I also have a sig p320 x tac and yours looks really good
Thanks man! I bought mine at a local shop, but here's a link to one at optics planet!

Wonder why they didn’t make the sights cowhitness height when at least using the direct mount option.
I wondered the same thing. They may be able to co-whitness with the Romeo zero, but it still works great for me even today.
Why light and holster are you running with that setup? Love the video.
Thanks my man. I have an olight pl pro. People talk bad about them, but mine has held up pretty well for over a year and a half. I made my own kydex holster to fit my setup. Thanks for watching!
Hey! Nice review sir, im just wondering what kind of holster are you using for that pistol?

Tried to torc it down to 25in-lbs and bolts striped where the allen head goes in.
Damn, maybe you can tap them and get them out? If you can take it to a gunsmith and see if they could get them out. Sorry to hear that!
Nice, no need for a sealing plate huh?
Correct, everything I’ve read said the footprint was an exact match. I’ve had that optic in for about three years now and it’s ran flawlessly
I saw the p320 x vtac with holes or cuts on the front of the slide, why yours doesn't have any?
It’s a Gen 2
It’s a gen 2
No need for a mounting plate?
Because of the slide cut?
Now I could be completely wrong. But, I believe this firearm was built to accept the romeo 1 and the leupold deltapoint pro without the need of an adapter plate. So the specs of those optics match the factory slide cut. This wont be the same case for other optics and other slides!
Can you still use the rear iron sight after installing the red dot? Thanks
Unfortunately not on my handgun. It came with the stock VTAC sights. However you could swap them out for supressor height sights and be able to co-witness with the red dot.
Thats why I prefer Romeo 1 Pro. Same quality but still able to use iron sights
Do you know if the DPP fits on a P320 XCompact with RXP slide?
I’m not sure to be honest, I would go to your local shop and see if you can talk about it fitting. See if you can take your slide in, and maybe they will let you try out some different optics.
Why did you choose it over the trijicon rmr?
That's a great question. I debated over it for quite a while. I watched quite a few reviews on both, and got hands on with them. I liked the size of the rmr and it's build. However, the DPP had a bigger window, the glass was a little bit clearer in my opinion, it's motion activated, and you can swap the battery out without taking the optic off of the slide and re-zero it. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either one!
whats the part number for that? i have p320 carry
For which part in particular are you asking?
What do you zero at
Honestly man there are so many schools of thought. Typically 10,15, 25.

@@paparomeoproductions5956 thanks 👍
what moa is your Red Dot
It is a 2.5 MOA, but other models come with different MOA’s
@@paparomeoproductions5956 thanks
Theres no co-witness on that red dot. gah!
You are correct, but there are some pretty good drills and techniques out there to use if your optic goes down.
My opinion: olights suck ass, I'm running a surefire x300u and love it best thing I ever did
lol, if you throw a x300u my way I'll run it for sure!
@@paparomeoproductions5956 lol
Perfect flex ruined by olight
Lol, i havent had any issues yet, but if you send me a surefire, ill be more than happy to switch it out! Thanks for watching!!
@@paparomeoproductions5956 There's streamlight for the same price...
Never have tried an Olight, Streamlight is my go to. Don't knock anyone's build tho. It's what THEY chose.. THEY aren't YOU
