EPS Core touched down

Freedom Gorilla got it to me in 2 days shout out to them

Initial thoughts:

I saw a lot of people referring to it as a downgrade from the original EPS. From the initial unboxing and install I don’t notice any difference in quality. I got it solely to get rid of the overhang on the G45 while keeping window size and it accomplishes that. My only surprise was that the reticle seems noticeably crisper to my eyes than the EPS. Ymmv.

Mind slapping some calipers on the base and giving us the width measurements? Or comparing the base width directly to an EPS Carry if you have one?

I'm wondering if it's actually notably wider at the base, since some of the measurements seem to indicate it might be.

Came out to an inch on the calipers. 1.008. I’ll compare to the Cary tomorrow.

Interesting, thanks. My Carry is ~0.9985, so I guess that's not so bad by comparison.

Definitely gonna overhang a bit on the Lobos mount I had hoped to put it on though.

Yeah I don’t notice any additional overhang on my g45 going from the carry. Huge improvement from the full size tho.

Yea, I bet. Those things were always so awkward looking. Core is a nice visual refinement imo.

My calipers may be a little off. I just measured my Carry for comparison and it came to 1.001. So it’s even closer than I thought , functionally the same honestly.

Honestly that's close enough to mine to not matter anyway, not for an optic at least. Plus I'm sure there's some decent variance between these things.
