disxbxjun Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have had one of the older version RTS2 and all I did was the rubber band fix. It lasted for about 4,000 rounds on a frame mounted open gun running 173 power factor. This past weekend it shut off on me during a match and would not come back on. I do have another RTS2 that got the updates available as of July this year. It has the upgraded circuit board and battery compartment fix. Will see how long this one will run while I send the other one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAP Guns Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I love my Trijicon RMR. There are no batteries to deal with. It is a fiber optic and tritium dual illumination. I hated dealing with batteries. It took a few days to get used to the smaller glass but after a bit I absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimInFL Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 3 matches since the board upgrade and working. Keeping my fingers crossed like everyone else that has one working right now. Question - anyone have a feel for battery life yet ? I've been leaving mine on for the duration of the match (3 as I said above) to see what happens. Anyone have any further info ?

racegun9 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have the older RTS not the RTS2 and if you leave it on a week its not very bright. Cmore says 300 to 1500 hours battery life. I'd say closer to the 300. For .50 cents or less I change it about once a month if I don't leave it on. The RTS2 is supposed to turn itself off after 8 hours. More often than that for some shooters when they are not working right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtsuper Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Well my Rts2 was acting up at the Ipsc nationals. I called Derek from Millineum Custom who sold/ mounted it for me. I now have the lastest version. Will keep all posted. BTW Derek rocks!! Drove to his shop Monday, new one on and out in about an hour or so! I'm only a couple hours south of him.

blueeyedme Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sad to report that the glass has cracked on one of our RTS2 sights @1300 rounds. This is on one of the two open guns that were finished in September. According to Derek, C-More is no longer replacing with new - but upgrading/repairing those that are returned. He recommended sending both back to C-More so they are updated with the latest & greatest. I am sure hoping this isn't the start of an ongoing bad experience with C-More. With the 3rd gen, all the kinks should have been worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtsuper Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Dan! I hope as you say, no more problems. I have only 50 rds on my replacement. I haven't had anytime to shoot. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm having another gun built this winter and as much as I wanted one of these babies I'm sticking with a slide ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm on my 5th version of the C-more RTS2... The last 3 were supposed to be with the upgraded fix. The 4th one failed at World Shoot on my 27th Stage. Dot on, then off, fought with it but ended up zeroing the stage. C-more sent me a 5th one but too late for WSXVII. So far it is working. They said they put a capacitor in to hold power on. They also said I was the first one to have this problem with the sight??? However, I was amazed how many folks commented about the RTS2 sight and said that they had the same problems with it and "Good Luck". On the other hand, there were several open guns with it at WS and it appeared to hold up... I'm sure C-more will work out the bugs with the RTS2 and maybe the capacitor is the fix...

gtsuper Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My sight failed at the Ipsc nats after the World shoot, i was at about 1000 rds. Derik from Mellinim Custom replaced mine with a new one that has contacts top and bottom for the battery. I think Derik came up with that. I haven't had time to shoot it other than sight in. Has anyone else got this modification? Btw Derik did it for me with one trip to his shop! He is the best for service!! Thanks Derik! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I agree. It has already cost me over $100 in return shipping and C-more hasn't blinked on making me whole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveU Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Bought an old one on this forum, it failed and I sent it back to C-more this summer. It came back in < a week (new or refurb) and works great. Just to throw it out there. C-more did right by me on a non-original owner model.

FF112173 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I placed an order with a well respected Gunsmith to build a 1911 framed open Steel Challenge pistol with an RTS2 optic. After searching, finding and reading this thread, and many others, I am concerned about the choice of the optic. I understand that steel shooting doesn't jostle or shock with the same force or power factor from ammunitions as USPSA open firearms, but I still don't want to be without a dot in the middle of an event. Does anyone have an opinion on a Deltapoint or a Trijicon RMR? I was considering changing before holes are drilled and it's to late to change things. The RMR Dual Illuminated seems very interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I run a DPoint with a 3.5 dot on my 2011 .38 superComp. Its a Leupold made in the U.S.A. It's a solid choice. I'm sure other have opinions too. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwontanamo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) so after 11 pages worth of discussion...I take it RTS2 is a definite no go? how soon do you think until they make a more robust model?

The smaller lens would let target focus easier and less distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclagg Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Kwontanamo... it appears that the RTS 2 is on its third revision. I have 500 rounds through THAT model. So far so good... I'm sure they'll be an RTS 3 once they get through this tuff roll out (understated). Keep in mind that the gen 3 is not very old.. couple of months maybe.

eroc1l Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 1200 rounds and mine quit on Saturday during a match. Contacted C-more and they said send it back for update, Just wondering if I should stay with this sight or get out to avoid hassle and go back to sideways mounted Slide Ride.
