Trijicon RMR
What are the opinions of the RMR?
The dot seems rather large for what you are paying for. Is this worth it for the large dot?
Looks for a good red dot of my MP5K. Im tired of these $100 Chinese made pieces of garbage.
The dot is larger than say a dedicated rifle mounted optic because its held farther away from your eye
The dot is supposed to be "large". It's for quick acquisition and sighting.

I have one on top of my TA31. Its good. I am not a big fan of it being mounted on top of the TA31 though. In order to use it properly it totally throws off the cheek weld. I also have not found a quick way to pick up the sight when I transition from the Acog to the RMR. I want to mount it on a 45 degree offset mount I think that will help. But I would buy one again. I do like having it for CQB stuff, I just have to start with that sight, If I try to transition in the middle of a course I feel like it slows me down the way I have it set up right now.
For an RMR on top of an ACOG, you're supposed to can't the weapon slightly and pick up the dot with your non-dominant eye. With both eyes open, the RMR's dot will be superimposed over the target and you will maintain (somewhat) normal cheek weld. That's the idea, anyway. I don't really like it, but it is better than trying to chin-weld without canting your rifle.
*cant ...stupid autocorrect.
Any thoughts on the different MOA options for the RMR? I just got a Glock 34 and have been getting the urge to throw something of the sort on it
