Since this seems to be a bit of a catch all thread, I'll pose a couple questions here, having just picked up a G19.5 MOS... And this being my first foray into the MRDS mounted pistol world. I'd like to eventually carry this gun, so I'd like to stick with A Trijicon RMR vs any of the cheaper stuff available out there. I'd consider Holosun after seeing some of the Sage Dynamics videos, but given the current situation in the world, sticking with USA made seems prudent, and dare I say patriotic. I plan on using the Forward Controls mounting plate, not the potmetal bits that come from Glock. I have a inch pounds torque wrench, can use VC3, and I'm mechanically inclined.
I'm debating between the 3.25 or 6 MOA versions, and I feel like my index is likely good enough it wont take much hunting in the window to find the dot... once I get up to speed a bit on these things. I do have a slight astigmatism in both eyes, but I'm able to use Aimpoints and MRO's on my AR's without too much issue. I suspect I'd prefer the slightly smaller dot, with the ability to "bloom" it a bit if a more coarse aiming point is desired.
Which size do most folks prefer? Where did you start? Being a noob, would a larger dot be beneficial, even if I already have a decent index and put in some extra work to learn to manage the sight?
I understand its a very personal thing what works best for any given individual, but I trust folks here to give thoughtful advice.
