    Default Red dot on your pistol

    Which do like? Why?

    Lots of them out there with variety of features.

    Well, I suppose it depends on the intended purpose.

    I definitely prefer to keep things small and light. If it?s just a range gun or plinker I have been liking the Holosun mini reflex sights.

    If it were going on a defensive piece I?d splurge and get a Trijicon RMR.

    Definitely want small and light. Holosun is in the running.

    I seriously doubt I will be willing to pony up for Trijicon.

    I bought a Glock 19 MOS so I’ve been reading up and watching videos on all the options and pretty much everything leads to the fact that there are some that will work ok but if you really want one that is going to work without issues and last you need to get the RMR.

    I personally have shot about 5k rounds through my P320 with the RMR type 2. I cannot say enough good about it. There are other good optics out there, but I personally believe that the RMR is worth every penny.
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    In my experience, and in the experience of my circles, the Holosun 507c is a better optic than the RMR Type I or II, at $200-300 cheaper.

    No tint, you don't have to remove/rezero to replace batteries, and the durability in my experience is better. I've never sent back a Holosun. I've sent in every one of the four RMRs I've owned.
    9mm - because they don't make a 9.1mm

    Thanks for info. 507C is direction I am leaning. Good to hear about the durability.

    I own a Romeo 1, a couple of RMRs - Type 2, and an SRO.

    The Romeo 1 (out of production) has a nice window but they aren't very tough and they will fail in the rain.

    The Type 2 RMRs are terrific, unbeatable reputation (the Type 1s had some problems, I would not buy a Type 1 and buyer beware, there are lying scumbags out there selling Type 1s as Type 2s). The problem with the RMR is the small window, RMR is easier for me to use on a Sig P226 than a Glock 17 or 19.

    The SRO is nice, big window, not nearly as robust as an RMR. I have mine on a 5 inch 629, I really like it. I do wonder how long the SRO will last with 44 Magnum recoil.

    I have no experience with Holosun, I haven't shopped MRDS for a couple of years though so I'm not up on the latest news. I do know that Holosun has been making steady improvements, they understand the growing market, and I wonder if Trijicon is resting on their laurels.

    Trijicon is a US company so I am VERY biased towards them. Plus I own ACOGs which I love on my ARs.
