How many red dots for a three day class?

[GJM]

Continue to see issues with DP Pro - are you seeing issues with SROs at matches?

Generally, no.

After reading this thread I will have to respectfully disagree with GJM. A red dot is NOT the way to meet or impress the chicks.

Don't ask me how I know......

Seems like whatever the number is - it need not include dpp or SROs.


Why do we hate the type 2 RMR now ?

I’m out of the loop

I think the RMR has the best auto mode of any pistol optic, has great battery life and is apparently able to survive drops onto rocks that will destroy an SRO. However, many shooting tasks are harder with a RMR than a SRO, and is the reason the SRO is commonly being used in competition where the RMR is rarely used gaming. Older DeltaPoint Pros are actually pretty durable by red dot standards.

...I’m still gonna go up to girls and ask if they’re dot curious ;>)

I've come across enough to broken RMR's to not think they're magic. They drop better than most, they still don't last forever actually shooting. And the tiny blue screen doesn't appeal

@BigT, were these RMR2s? So far, so good on the ones issued at dept., but no high volume shooting. I agree with the difficulty of lens size...(and, if I have your attention, different subject: did those new small Surefire pistol lights ever turn up?)
I’m also aware of some LE w/ Aimpoint ACROs, but they are dedicated “enthusiasts” if you will; most LE wouldn’t bother with the battery monitoring necessary. @GJM I believe had one ACRO in a severe hunting environment, but only for a few days...

So YVK is taking a three day TPC class now.

Day one, several hours into the class, his DP Pro on his Shadow 2 goes Tango Uniform. Standard failure.

Attachment 44849

Unfortunately, in an effort to cozy up to a good looking girl in class, he had loaned his number 2 Shadow with the SRO. He decides to carry on with his iron sight Shadow upper and not immediately recall his SRO pistol. When the day ends, he retrieved his SRO CZ, and the optic is totally loose, wobbling around. Apparently, while Mesquite has multiple casinos, it has like zero places that sell loctite, not even considering the PF approved “vibra tite.”

Remember, day two hasn’t even started, and poor YVK is triaging a choice between iron sights on his Shadow or his Glock 19/RMR carry gun.

So the answer to the question of how many red dot pistols, is all you have plus two more.

Why would there be a debate between irons gun or carry gun with RMR?

The smaller RMR window may be a disadvantage, however, 8000+ rounds on an ATEI machined slide, the type 2 dot has not failed and the optic stays tight.

Hoping to receive my slide back from Agency Arms with the AOS cut next week, and will report on how it works.

Welfare open indeed...
