I like my RMR on my M&P.
This might be a dumb question, but do you carry with the red dot? And if so, how.

The onl6 thing I could add to Mike's already excellent post, is the the MOS's are a poor sub for a milled slide mounted RMR. The only reason they exist is to have a something for everyone, or as close as they can get. A properly milled slide fitted with an RMR, or possibly the Delta Point Pro, is in my opinion, the only way to go. Add to that a properly co-witnessed buis, and you have a fine fighting pistol! I daily carry a G19 with a Suarez milled slide and RMR06, either in a Dale Fricke Arch Angel, or a Dale Fricke Zach(the Zach being the easy button for all manners of dress).
Care to elaborate? Looking into RDS for my Victory.I traded for a Burris Fastfire 2 last night and installed it on my S&W 22 Victory today. It's by far the best red dot I've owned. At 59 years old it's much easier to acquire the target.
All last week I was teaching LE recruits at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. The LT in charge of their firearms has been doing it for decades. We were just discussing this very topic. From his experience running the qualification course to become firearms instructors (I went though in 2000), he has seen officers bring these set ups and have trouble. They are just fine at the 7yrd line on up but the group opens up a bit at the 15yrd and 25yrd lines and it really opens up at the 50yrd line. He stated that the biggest issue is what calls "chasing the dot". The dot is wavering enough at 50 that getting a nice tight group is hard. It's only an issue because the score to qualify to go to the firearms instructor school is so high and you must keep a good group even at the 50yrd line.
Interesting. That is almost the exact opposite of my experience and observations. The only way I can see this is if these guys are already not good, but great shooters. I have seen MRDS make mediocre shooters dramatically better at distance.

This. I was excited when I first heard the M&P core was coming out. Then I got to hold one and it doesn't compare to a properly milled slide.
