Feel it odd these have no options for Doctor optics.
Doctor is far less popular. Personally, i don’t even know why we continue making any of them.

Hello Matt thank you replying to my message. I have two RMR slides myself. I use Sightmark optics for my PSA rifles and was thinking about transitioning to Doctor since Sightmark doesn’t make a RMR for besides what appears to be a discontinued model with a whopping 200 hours of battery life.
Otherwise they have their M spec model which unfortunately is Doctor footprint only and a new rather expensive RMR solar powered optic. In the mean time I’m using the ADE optics Stingray MRD for my RMR cut slides.
I find it interesting that the SW5, SWR and Compact X forgo’d the Doctor footprint yet the just released G17/Full Sized S has Doctor cuts available from the get go?
We don’t offer a G17 slide. You’re probably thinking about the compact X slide

Think you all would be better off going with a RMSC/preferably the modified Holosun K footprint on the guns instead of Docter. It’s almost the same between the two (tiny difference in screw hole distance), but the Docter/K footprints have the screws farther back than others, allowing for enclosed optics to mount from the top instead of needing adapters.
Unfortunately it seems that a lot of current Docter footprint optics are pretty garbage in features and quality/durability. Even Vortex previous optics are not very durable over a not very high round count. And their emitter quality is beat by optics equal to or lower priced. Their newest Defender CCW optic looks pretty decent though, and it’s on the RMSC/K footprint.

RMR G17 length slide (X-slide) built for the G19 size fame, dagger compact and fullsize short dagger frame.
RMR optic cut here with a compact slide correct
