First try with RDS

[David S.]

I personally think a SRO is a little big for a 26, but that’s just me.

I agree, depending on the context. It's a G26, so presumably concealment is a significant consideration.

In my opinion, the Holosun 507c offers the best balance of everything for a non-duty role.
-It is slightly taller than the RMR but gives you more usable window area than the RMR. Significantly smaller than the Leupold, SRO and ACRO.
-All the RDS instructors I'm aware of have a generally positive view of Holosun. The jury is out on which is more durable and lasts longer.
-Reticle options. I really like Circle Only for everything out to 25 yards, including B-8's. IIRC, the circle is about the 8 ring at 25y. I shoot within a couple points either way of Dot Only on my 100pt aggregates, typically mid 90's.
-If I wanted more robust, without additional bulk, then 508t or 509t.

The RMR is a fine optic. It's minor downsides are smaller usable window and you have to remove the optic to replace the battery. I replaced both of mine for 407c/507c's with no regrets.

The mini optics are interesting, but I haven't messed with them. There is no "standard" footprint like the RMR, I'd be hard pressed to mill for specific mini dot.

From what I can tell, the Agency Optic System will run you $65 more than Maple Leaf. That seems pretty reasonable considering the versatility it adds. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they currently offer mini optic plates.

I have a 26.5 slide at Battlewerx right now being milled for a RMRcc. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I havent seen a SRO in person, I would think they would be a bit large for ccw but I really have no idea whats going on in the CC re RDS world right now. Anyway the RMRs are also on sale https://www.eurooptic.com/Trijicon-R...-2-Sights.aspx. For the CC market are the RMR 2.0s the general go to?
What ever happened to the Delta Point Pro? Last time I paid attention they were coming out with a more durable board. Did those ever get straightened out? Are they considered a viable choice for CC?
Did the ACRO get its battery issues resolved?

Sorry @David S. I must have been typing this when you posted. I will add when I was seriously considering this before any RDS was hard to find locally.
If a guy was going to go with a plate system are there any specifically he should look at?
What exactly is a mini RDS?

I should have my 26.5 slide back in a week or two, I can toss pics of how the slightly smaller RMRcc works in the mix. I personally don’t like how the wider RMR I have on my 19.5 MOS works IWB, it may move to my (wider) 27.5.

I’ve found the height of the SRO to be a non-issue with regards to concealment. In fact, the round hood conceals better, for me, than an RMR. And I get all the advantages of the SRO’s bigger window.

Good to know. I picked up a 45 MOS earlier this year on a whim. I think I may order a Trijicon from Euro optics today.
I guess that answers my other question about a mini rds? The cc is narrower and is considered a mini?
ETA Never mind I googled it the mini is for the narrower slide guns like 365 or 43.

I used CHPWS for my 26 slide, but I had a certificate for a free milling. But I’m happy with how it turned out. Pics in link:https://www.instagram.com/p/CQxFR2Yr...dium=copy_link

I’ve had/have an SRO, an RMR, 507c, 509T, Swampfox Justice, Shield RMSc, Sig RomeoZero and a Riton dot that has an RMSc footprint.

For what your friend is wanting to do I’d suggest the 507c. Mine was a Gen 1 and my only complaint was the bottom loading battery compartment.

Most minis are used on single stacks, but when I realized the RMRcc was the same width as a double stack Glock slide plus had what I consider to be a more favorable window design, I decided to go that way on the 26.

Here’s an illustration of the different width and window design that I stole from EuroOptic (note these aren’t milled into the slides, they are sitting on top):

So looking at Trijicons website the RMR is available as adjustable and non adjustable I assume the adjustable is the one to get? I really wish I could l could see the in person side by side but very doubtful thats going to happen.
My question is Trijicons website says I need a mounting plate AC32064 and I also see a sealing plate RM63.
Im going to put this on a glock 45 MOS do I need both the mounting plate and sealing plate? Or will the mounting plate in the 45 MOS package suffice?
Thanks

I have a RM07 6.5 MOA on my 19.5 right now. When I did this in 2019 I used a CHPWS mounting plate instead of Glock’s or Trijicon’s MOS plate, if I were doing it again I’d probably use a Forward Controls one. I thought the sight comes with a sealing plate, but if it doesn’t you’ll need one. (The RMRcc definitely does.)
