what is the recommended red dot sight on the P-11?

Keep in mind that most pistols have flat topped slides while the rear portion of the P-11 slide is shaped more like a pyramid.

You can remove the firing pin retention screw and gauge the thickness of the slide. It is quite thin IMO. I doubt you could mill it successfully without weakening it excessively.

BTW, a comparably priced competing brand of pistol does offer a RDS model which is quite similar.

So my site came today. Looking at it and the P11 I think Yankee_Rebel is right. The site is .950" wide and the slide is 1.050" wide. The slide would have to be milled all the way to the hammer slot in the slide before the site could be bolted on.

As for the site, I like it. I'm not a fan of the packaging and I had a positive surprise when I saw the steel shield in the packaging.

I myself are pretty much not a red dot guy on little concealed carry gun. not sure how useful it is at close and perhaps shooting from the waist on the way up to a proper hold and the trade off of a sub compact and then adding an inch or so in a bump on top the gun. a little laser sight in the grip i can see(haha little joke) as I present the gun so i like that but I think if you have time to use a red dot you also have time for regular sights. All just my opinion and to be honest, i have a red dot on both my KS7 and .300 BO pistol....

We don't plan to fail we fail to plan 🤣😂🤣😂 You might want to consider an optic ready pistol or plan on $1-300 for milling, drilling and tapping. You can probably get a SCCY with a Crimson Trace for what you would spend putting one on a P11.
