The face you make when you return from a business trip and your RMR has arrived.

The face you make you make when you go to install said RMR and quickly find out that Glock MOS require a different set of mounting screws that need to be ordered in a separate kit.

I guess I missed it in the fine print or something but dammit.

Having a Glock 19 milled for an RMR and have a couple questions:
1. Rear sight in front of or behind the optic?
2. Is a sealing plate needed and is it thick enough to noticeably raise the optic up (want it as low as possible)?
3. What are the best sights to use with it milled to keep them low as low as possible in the window but still useable?

It was a good mild plinking load, and now it's closer to a load to minic duty rounds.
I think they did this because if you want mild plinking 147, they want you to buy the 150 Syntec instead.

It meant for USPSA ammo, but if you liked the old AE 147 FP I'd definitely try a few boxes.

I love it, there was a definite learning curve but that smoothed out quickly with a lot of drawing from retention and presentations. Within 800 rounds fired and a couple hundred dry fire / drawing exercises my dot is right in line with me sights 99.99% of the time. I went out with a buddy who has a pro timer and my first rounds on target are consistently 2-3 tenths faster than I am with irons. Now my only problem is my budget since I want to RMR all the things

All it takes is a little practice, and I mean a little, not much at all. And I'm so much faster with the dot it's not even funny. No timers, but the difference is scary

Wasn't sure how i'd like a reflex sight on a handgun, so didnt want to spend RMR type $ on one until i knew how well i liked having it.  Impressed with it so far.  Holds zero and is really bright.  Really like the reticle options.  This reticle is my favorite and is quick to put on target.  Bad pic, hard to get focus right plus reticle looks smaller than it is...

I have had night shoots where people were complaining that they didn't like the RDS equipped pistols they were trying, but at the end of the night the thing I pointed out that they couldn't really refute was that I could hit shit while they could not (NV involved)

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and practice.

I love watching this whole thing progressing. I have absolutely no skin in this game as I'm a poor and can't afford an rmr, but it is EXACTLY like the late 90s to mid 2000s with red dots on rifles. Fucking retarded boomers claiming that everyone's shit will fail on them while guys with dots shoot fucking circles around them. Now we are to the point that a lot of, if not most dudes that kill people for a living don't even put iron sights on their rifles because they are so useless. Same thing with LPVOs on rifles. Dots on handguns and LPVOs on rifles are the fucking future and the future is now boomers.

If you're looking for an affordable entry to the handgun dot gang I highly recommend a Sig P320 RX. The Romeo1 optics had some teething issues when they first came out but the current crop are good to go. Gun and optic can be had for a reasonable price
