S&W M&P with Insight MRDS
I literally just threw this together an hour ago, so it's not even zeroed yet. Hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow assuming I'm not shoveling my driveway here in NoVA. So far I've spent about the past half hour doing the draw, presentation, and dry-fire thing, trying to get the hang of acquiring the dot. It's about as difficult as I expected, which is to say that the primary problem is finding the dot when your grip is off. Otherwise, this seems like it's going to have similar benefits to adding a RDS to a carbine. Hopefully I'll get some range time in the next two weeks or so and see if I can't wring this setup out. For now some pics:

Once I get good with it and I make sure nothing's going to break on me, I'll be using this as my carry setup.

Epic Win, in the parlance of our times
I just got off the phone with Insight customer service, and my experience could not have been more positive. Upon explaining what happened to the optic to one of their technicians, he recommended that the customer service section send a brand new optic sight unseen (no pun intended) overnight along with a return authorization to be completed at my leisure. I got a UPS shipping notification and tracking number in my email before I even hung up the phone, and I will indeed have a new one tomorrow. While this is really the only way for a company to act under these circumstances, it’s still a breath of fresh air to me given the horror stories others have related in dealing with some other optic manufacturers. Nine thumbs up to Insight.:cool:
