If you are looking for an Eotech style reticle (65 MOA big circle and small center dot) then Holosun is what you seek. Don't let the Holosun name fool you, they are the real deal.
Sage Dynamics has beat the bejesus out of them and they have held up really really well. 507, 508, 509 are all great. The solar panels are more than a gimmick, they actually work and extend the battery life out significantly. All of the recent versions you can change the battery without removing optic from the gun. Downside is they are China made - that deters a lot of people. Sadly there is not anything like it domestically made...yet. If you want to buy American and want rugged, stick with whatever gen Trijicon RMR is the most recent gen. If you want a mostly rugged version of the RMR but geared more towards competition, check out the SRO. Suppressor sights are a personal choice. I put them on mine - it just makes me feel a little better having a backup sight if needed. Lots of guys take the sights off completely or just leave the stock/low sights on and call it a day. |

I have an RMR TYPE 2 RM06 with the 3.25 MOA dot.
It's the LED one and I like it. It takes some getting used to. Worked on dry firing from the draw a lot so I wasn't totally wasting ammo. RMR Sage Dynamics on youtube has a great series on red dot pistol, very informative. |

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. The circle I was referring to appears to be called the ACSS Vulcan. You're not supposed to see the ring while the aiming point is in view. Unfortunately I'm in a pretty anti China mood these days. Of the RMR models, which dot size would you suggest for general plinking, self defense, and the like? I don't compete. Oh, and I would be mounting a light. Is there a reticle that works best against a brightly illuminated target? |

Dot size is a personal preference thing too. I usually stick small and then just turn it up brighter if I want "bigger".
So like 2-3.25 MOA is a good starting point. For plinking, fast shots up close (defense), 6 MOA is totally fine, I doubt you would notice a difference. I compete with my red dots, so small head shots at 25 yards means I like a little more precision. As other smarter folks here have said before - "you can make a smaller dot bigger by making it brighter but you can't make a bigger dot small no matter what you do." Flashlights - you will be fine. RMRs, Holosuns, Sigs - all of them when you crank them up the red dot is freaking blindingly bright. |

That's the one I thought I was looking at closest before I started this thread. |

Rm-06 3.25moa type 2
I like mine and it's an excellent duty optic My sro is a 1moa dot and honestly it seems very close in size to the 3.25 of the rmr that said the huge window of the sro makes it much easier to shoot fast. At least until you get enough reps in. I have 1 holosun a 515 on an AR pistol and it seems to do fine, but it's made in the country I consider the usa's biggest threat. And that said I'd prefer to buy elsewhere. I only bought that one because people stated they were sharper but my eyes can't tell. I will try the primary arms cyclops gen 2 because prism sight but honestly if an American or European company made something competitive at a slightly higher price I'd likely pass on the primary arms optics. |

OP make sure you upgrade to a C& H base plate over the stock MOS plate. It is a much needed upgrade.
ENJOY! Bev

In regard to suppressor sights, yes I think they are still warranted. If nothing else, it helps to find the dot. The MOS system needs a little latter sight than normal suppressor sights.

Keep in mind if you are shooting an rds pistol suppressed you will be wiping the lens off every 2-3 mags.
Ejection port gassing suppressed is a bitch. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 500 on Amazon. I just checked gun.deals. It looks like RM06's are going for about $440 (including shipping). Of course, you may have to wait a while to receive your order depending on which cut-throat online reseller you choose. I think you'll be fine. Just make sure the Amazon RM06 isn't a fake. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Be careful! Amazon is notorious for selling fakes! I'm not sure which Amazon seller you used. If you look at the one-star reviews (9% of the total reviews) for this seller, you'll see they've sold dozens and dozens of fake RM06's. I suspect the actual number is much higher, but the customers didn't realize the RM06 was fake. Note the "Sport Type" in the product listing is "Airsoft". I just checked gun.deals.

Two tips that I received here and feel obligated to pass along.
1. Get the FCD RMR plate it’s rock solid and a big improvement over the OEM plates. 2. If you want black suppressor height sights, the Ameriglo GL-429s line up perfect for a lower 1/4 BUIS sight picture.  Attached File |
