Whats the best one out there for the money? Vortex?
Thanks for the info. I’d use it for a little of both. Mainly a home gun. They will be what inshoot whenever I do a pistol Match and maybe carried 10% of the timeSlide mounted? Carry or competition?
I'm not terribly impressed with my Vortex Viper. Warranted once, whatever, they all fail, but the glare from the emitter is so bad it washes out the dot making it a big useless red screen. And you have to remove to change batteries, which last ok but not great. The Venom is ridiculously tall IMO, handled but haven't shot.
The DPP and Sig are most popular for competition, never heard any of those guys complain about glare under the same conditions.
The Trijicons still rule for carry, battery life and durability are great, window is small, frame thick, lenses dark though I think the latest less so.
Holosun 507c is getting some attention in competition and there's some reviews saying it's tough enough for duty/carry. I'm still kicking around getting one.

What say you about the Burris fast fire 3?
Agreed. I spend a little more and get a better optic.Burris is a notch down from Vortex in my experience. Similar performance, without the lifetime warrant and customer service of Vortex. It would be a hard no go on any of my guns.
Looks like the rmr is best option. Gonna take a little time to stomach spending as much on a red dot as I did the Glock it’s going on
Thanks Billy. I'll be down in June, hopefully sooner.Stickman can shoot his pretty damn good. Next time he's here I'ma try it. Old dog..new tricks?
View attachment 114786 I just ordered a 3.25 rmr and a set of the ameriglo orange front and blacked out rear. Its what I like when shooting without an optic.
Figured if you’re going to spend the dough on a rmr might as well get the sights you like.
Edited to add-These are the tritium night sights as well for $15 or so more than the nontritium sights you mentioned.
I worry that it'll be too busy with 3 sight dots and the red dot? Ive seen some say that it is, and some dont notice.
So I decided to just break down and go with the RMR.
Question on sights... ameriglo has all black supressor sights for less than $70... night sights are $120 ish.
With the dot on there, do I really need night sights?
Ordered my RMR today, dropped my slide off for the cut and decided to go with the ameriglo black sights. Mainly because this wont be a carry gun.
I'm actually thinking of putting a black suppressor height front on my CO gun, mostly because the Viper sucks, slide's milled so being cheap I'm still trying to make it work.If not a carry gun, I'd ditch the sights entirely.
+1 I shot a glock recently with cowitness sights - it was miserable. Takes up most the window and defeats the purpose of the dot imho.If not a carry gun, I'd ditch the sights entirely.
