    What about the HST that looks like a wadcutter?

    I had those when I carried a 642. BBI had mentioned they would be pretty good at all but barriers.

    I did a water jug test on them. Went into the second jug and expanded beautifully.

    I've had this revolver for a while, it was somebody's project back in the 30s when it came back from WW1 and went to King's for a full action job and King parts upgrades. The barrel was shortened and the gun converted to 45 Colt from 455 Eley, King hammer and sights combined with 1930s era parts. The pull is Python smooth and it puts 250 grain cast lead right where you want it. While it's basically a cut down, to me it still represents the art of the gunsmith from nearly 100 years ago. I really should find a 45 LC wadcutter mold for it. Pure lead and around 250 grains.;)

    This?

    I know NHT3. I should ask what I need to attach that to my X10. Was looking at the Leupold.
    Reckon I should ask Travis what's best? Thinking smaller dot and shake awake would be a plus.

    I copied the wrong one as that is a pitcatinny mount. Meant to show you this one.

    I was looking at the XTen today to see what exactly the optic cut was. Sig says Romeo2. I'd have to research more to see what else fits and what adapter plates may or may not be required. Whatever I would mount, I'd make damn sure it's robust and secured by either a pocket cut specifically for its footprint or has reinforcement/locating tabs. I wouldn't mount anything that allows the full force of 10mm to be absorbed by some little screws only.

    I'm under the weather currently, so my memory is deceiving me. Sig Talk might be the best source. Don't know Romeo2 is GTG or not.

    I definitely saw it. Great looking gun. I've got a couple of X-compacts now (no optics on either of mine), but mine are the models that lose the rear sight when mounting an optic, unlike this one. Also have a Compact, but my favorites are the X-compacts.

    I've got an optic on my XL and I need to get some time behind that and decide if I really like the optic, before I start getting crazy and mounting them everywhere.
