And we won’t even get into low light or other non perfect conditions. Way better shooting results with an optic. It’s not even an argument. |

Just got this today. Hate bragging about a China optic but honestly the features blow away the RMR. Warranty does, too. Looking forward to getting it zeroed Cut from Black Phoenix Customs. They had a cut and nitride finish Sale in March for like $80. Ridiculous. Added the tall sights and was at like $135 shipped. Hope can you say no to that Attached File |

The Holosun is a great optic but that warranty statement is 100% false. They are nowhere near Trijicon in the warranty department. Originally Posted By JoeMal: Just got this today.

Man I'm ready to take the micro red dot plunge. The only problem is there are no good options. The holosun looks decent but I made a vow to avoid Chinese products whenever possible because fuck China. That leaves the Trijicon but I can't stand the blue tint. I really want a trijicon with clearer glass. I guess I'll keep waiting... |

I really want a trijicon with clearer glass. I guess I'll keep waiting... I finally decided to get an RMR after the Type 2 came out. I think the blue tint is considerably less than something like the dual-illuminated older RMRs. Attached File |

The RMR type 2 and Holosun 400/500 series are duty grade per Sage Dynamics testing. They both use the same footprint as well. I prefer the RMR but been very impressed handling my friends holosuns. |

I will check it out. +1 The tint isn’t really a factor when shooting, because your focus is more on the target. |

This is common among red dot converts. |

With you on avoiding chinesium on duty weapons if possible. ETA: Shield Sights. Expensive but look nice, oem for some trijicon models apparently. https://www.shieldpsd.com/ All red dots made in Great Britain per their website Q and A. Anyone have experience with this brand? |

I've got an SMSc, 1200+ rds, carried 7 days a week 10-15 hrs a day for about 90 days so far and has held zero since day one shot weekly. I dont expect it would hold up real well if it was bounced across the parking lot but, I'm happy with it until something better becomes available. |

By all accounts they're pretty fragile. Aaron Cowan did some testing and they didn't fair well. The Brits aren't known for their abilities with anything electric. Picked up an M18 yesterday. Going to put another RMR on it via the Bobro engineering RMR plate. I am also going to delete the manual safety and install an Apex enhanced trigger kit because for some reason this M18 has the worst P320 trigger I've ever felt. Attached File |
I am a recent convert. Havent shot it yet, but too much dry fire. I apparently have a slight astigmatism, but it doesnt bother me too much, especially if I'm not looking for it. I need more RMR.

| Keep in mind that you'll be learning a new skill without the aid of co-witness sights. I found that with a quick presentation, the gun was pointed exactly where it needed to be, but my head was in the wrong position. I heard one instructor say that it's not necessarily better or worse, just different, and you need to train with it. It's taken awhile, but I'm finally getting it down. I used the Outerimpact mount for my M&P pro. Nice thing about that one is that it accepts multiple sight footptints. |

One thing that helped me, was as soon as the gun clears the holster, drop your elbow bringing the pistol horizontal. While extending the pistol out and focusing on your target, you will see the front sight in your peripheral vision. As you’re extending your arm(s) the dot will come into your vision. One thing a red dot sight did, was really clean up my draw. |
