Best scope mount placement ?

[Python]

Hello fellow shooters;

Been looking at the RRA wadcutter pistols.(maybe a Christmas present to myself )

Question is, frame mounted scope or slide mounted scope ?

RRA has what looks like the ability to mount a scope on the slide if needed, but also has open sights mounted on the gun.

Reason I ask is that I will be using open sights until my eyes get worse and then I could mount a scope on it if needed.

Just like the M41 that I have coming(got that for myself as my birthday present )
The M41 is drilled and tapped for a scope, but have the option of using or not using it.

Can these scopes really take the battering when mounted on the slide ?

What would be the best scopes for this application while mounted on the slide ?

Thanks.

Slide mounted Ultra Dot 1" 4 dot is what many top BE shooters are using. There is a life time warante on the scope.

I use a slide mounted UD-30 on my Wadcutter gun.

I will also cast my opinion for the slide mount. I've been using mine on my wad gun for over 6 yrs and love it. You will find the recoil a bit slower, but not much. It seems to soften it (recoil) just a bit.

You will find advocates for both and both have advantages and disadvantages. My reccomendation is to try each and decide which one you prefer.

FWIW
