Majja Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just curious if there are any updates on the reliability of either of this on a frame mounted aplication. Has C-More got the bugs worked out yet? Thank You Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Since I received my upgraded unit I have not seen any problems. Probably 800 rounds through it so far, no matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 What upgrade? I have had no issues either of mine. 2000+ rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Mine that was upgrade in Nov (i think), failed on me the other day and is going back today. C-More said that there is another circuit board upgrade. But I'm going back to the standard Cmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 What upgrade? I have had no issues either of mine. 2000+ rounds. Do a search on the RTS2 then consider yourself lucky........so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knp1288 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have an STS2 with 1500 rounds. It did turn off once but I put some paper under the battery and it's been fine since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majja Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 I do not see much info about the STS2 just the RTS 2. Is it because it is smaller? I am trying to make the hard decision if I want the spend the extra $$ on an STS or RTS, I just knwo I want to get the weight of my halo sight off the gun.

RTS2 is the latest and (gulp)greatest thing from CMore. I would stick to the regular slide ride until this thing has a few GOOD years under it's belt.

RocketCity1911 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm close to 3000 rounds in about three months with the RTS2 with no problems. My scope mount has come loose a couple of times. I finally got the screws locktite'd in real good. I bought from Shooters Connection in January and probably got a newer version. Did not have to do anything with the battery compartment as others have had resort to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeyedme Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Running RTS2 on two open guns. As reported had one hickup in the fall and there were both sent back. No problems since and I am quite happy with them. The current generation seems ready to go in my opinion.

grantwoodok Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Shot with a guy this last weekend who swore by his RTS but it failed him on the 2nd stage of the day. Shot his Production gun for 8 more stages in Open Division. Not a good way to finish the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The May issue of Guns & Ammo has a couple of articles on the evolution of small optic sights. Patrick Sweeney talked about the battle to keep up with the latest and greatest, when he was shooting open division (late '80's ~ early '90's.) Chris Mudgett discussed the manufacturers, and sights, available today . . . Aimpoint, Burris, EOTech, Leupold, Trijicon. What I found interesting, but not surprising, was no mention of C-more's small red dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drysideshooter Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Have most of the failures been on slide mounted optics, or on a mount? Having one fail on a mount would really make me question their long term durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantwoodok Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The one I saw was on a mount and not on the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drysideshooter Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The one I saw was on a mount and not on the slide. That's the pits. I know there have been similar problems with Burris FFII's, but would have thought the C-More would have been more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimInFL Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Mine was around 12 days total both times, including the time spent in transit, as i remember. (e.g. that's how long I was without it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeyedme Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Sad to report that my wife's RTS2 failed us at A6 over the weekend. Dot came and went on it's own. So they are both going back to C-More for the 2nd time. I want to love this sight.....but if either fails again we are done with them. I have to take back my earlier recommendation and advise anyone considering the RTS2 to maybe sit on the sidelines until they get it all worked out....if ever.

Curt Caserta Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Had an RTS2 on titanium SV mount on my SV IMM Open. What I have learned is that there are some combinations of guns, powder, and mounts that either combined or individually make the battery lose contact which will shut your optic off. They have tried several diode/circuit board upgrades and are currently looking into a capacitor option to keep dot on if battery bounces. I decided on this to for a lower mount and a pretty sharp look; however, I did have issues in two separate matches. A slideride will be on my gun tommorrow. They just work. When the RTS2 gets worked out maybe I will go back. Can't beat the fact that the slideride is pretty much bullet-proof. C-More has great customer service and stands behind their products. I would have to agree iwth blueeyedme in the previous post at this time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuma Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't mean to hijack this thread, but can one of you tell me what size screw C more provides to mount the RTS2? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecil Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I don't think i would spend any money on the newest Cmore's .. they have proved to be un-reliable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klee Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I finally gave up on the RTS2 and went back to the slide ride. I will have to say, cmore's customer service was very good and they stand behind their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
