Any Sig Experts in here?

For quite some time I put the idea of putting a dot on my P226 to bed but it's popped up again.

There is a company that I recently ran across and they are offering to find the correct slide, mill it, cerakote it, mount irons, and mount my choice of red dot for around $900+ dollars. The 'for' side of this is there are no mounting plates and it's exactly the stuff I want.

Also Sig now offers two factory milled slides for the P226. The "Pro Cut" is one and the RPX is another. In my opinion I don't like those cuts on the "Pro Cut" at all so over the long term I probably will be better off going with something else.

The downside to the other option is the RPX comes with a red dot that I don't really want that would be almost immediately be replaced. I would have to pull it off and sell it if I could.

Right now the tentative plan is to buy the RPX slide and replace the dot with a 507C X2.

The plates to adapt the Holosun are available for about $60.

On another forum that I found via Google there is a guy that mounted a Holosun to his P226. I stole this image from there, but it's to see what it looks like.

One side effect of this set up is I could pick pretty much anything I want in the way of red dots. Right now I am just saying '507C' but I am also quite intrigued by the enclosed red dots.

This one looks interesting but I am hoping to get opinions on pros/cons of a closed dot vs say the 507C.

The price between having a slide custom made vs buying the RPX and the parts needed including the dot will be roughly the same, but with the RPX choice I would recoup whatever I could sell that dot for. Right now that seems like my best choice.

Who knows, I might be just throwing shade on the Sig red dot without having used it so any commentary there would also be appreciated.
