Evening gents, I have this p229 optic cut slide and I'm trying to figure out wat red dot i can run. I found this pic of the DPP dimensions and I measured my slide with calipers. Looks like DPP might fit with a slight gap in front? Anyone have any luck running an optic on these that isnt a romeo1? Not a fan of sig optics. And I hear the DPP is fragile... what other options are there for this footprint?

Ok so thanks to all your guys' advice, i scooped up a vortex defender since my slide has the DPP holes, no RMR holes, and a curved front. One of my slight issues is the lack of recoil lugs has me nervous about long term wear on the screws. And there's a 0.38mm gap between the slide and optic. I was able to create and 3d print a piece to fill in that gap, and now the optic fits very tight. Will have to shoot it a bunch to see how it goes.
