You're probably mostly right Jim. I think we'll see them as an OE option... in other words, like the FN 45, the slides will have the capability to accept a holo sight, but the added cost, durability concerns and complexity of a battery powered sight will prevent any wide spread acceptance on popular mid-priced handguns.

As we're already seeing lasers as option or original specification on many handguns... for most folks, I see that as the more popular trend.

Cheers,
