abb1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What is the verdict on this? Is this a good scope for slide mount? I hear that Cmore scopes were designed for frame mounting and would not hold up when mounted on a slide. I am not too sure that I believe that. Is anyone using this scope for carry optics and if they are, how is it holding up? Any issues at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I have seen a few RTS2s on CO guns but the consensus seems to agree that the Deltapoint Pro is your best bet in durability and longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipdynamite Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I researched for a while. When it was time the DPP was the clear winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) I agree that the DPP is a far superior sight, as I have one on my race gun. I need to know if the RTS2 is good for carry optics as I have a spare and would like to mount it on the gun that I use for that division. I am surprised at the lack of comments as I thought the RTS2 would be a popular choice for carry optics. Edited February 13, 2018 by abb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGC Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I think its applicable to update this post, as I am wondering what the verdict is with the new Version 5 RTS2? Any comments on use for CO? Thinking on adding to a cut down Shadow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy1629 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Well if you have a spare RTS2 give it a try. I can’t help because I use the DPP on carry optics and have a spare if something happens to the primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race1911 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Contrary to alot of other peoples opinion I find the RTS2 (version 4 ) way more reliable than I did either of the DPP red dots I owned....Yes it took about 4 years of unreliable RTS2 (version 1 thru 3) to get it right once they updated the RTS but now I find them rock solid (my original Open div gun still has an 8 year old original RTS on it and running strong)......BOTH of my DPP red dots failed within less than 1000 rounds, one of the most UNreliable dots I have ever used (and I have been using mini red dots on open div guns since way back in 1997) Edited October 25, 2019 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdnok Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I put 2 V5 RTS2's on my S2's recently, replacing the DPP's I had on them previously. So far all is good and really love the BRIGHT 6moa dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 No issues with one on a Walther SF(v5). I have 5 more on open guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurryvisions Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 did anyone ever have any issues with the RTS2's? I am a delta point guy and i know there were some issues here and there with the dot modules in them. I watch 2 RTS2's go down in the same match...DOT just disappeared and never came back. IDK if this was a batching problem or what. I personally never had any issues with the delta points but was always skeptical on the RTS2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race1911 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'm definitely hearing lately (this whole year) of alot more DPPs going down than RTS2s, perhaps that is due to more DPPs being used than RTS2s, I don't know.................the RTS2 since intro of V4 have been rock solid for me for the last couple years though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauza45 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I have the rts2 v5 on a G34 Have not shot it much so can't say anything about reliability, but like the 8 moa dot. Edited October 27, 2019 by sauza45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posvar Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just moved the RTS2 to my X5 and will be using a new Romeo 3 max to replace it on my open gun. If it fails I’ll just get a Max for the X5. A local master CO shooter has an RTS2 on his X5 and has been shooting it a long time with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posvar Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I can’t recall if it’s v4 or v5 that will come back on when the battery is removed and reinstalled. I’m sure some one can chime in on how to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJM Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just looked at the directions that came with our newest RTS2, and it says V5 on the directions, so I guess that is a good way to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race1911 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) The v4 comes back on when battery is removed and put back in whereas v3 does not The v5 has motion sensing and auto off whereas the v4 does not Edited January 19, 2020 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisB_02 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Does anyone have an update on the v5 reliability for slide mounting? Thanks. $600 dots still seem a bit crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Page Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Got my RTS2 v5 after black friday. I have been using it on my match gun, so the round count is around 1500. It just made it's way back to C-More as it was shutting off on it's own. The v4 I have has about 10,000 rounds without issue. These are mounted on a CO Legion. Starting to think it is a crap shoot with the optics. You either get one that works or you send it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisB_02 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I just started using a legion as well about 6weeks ago. And already ate thru 2 vortex vipers. On my xdm the viper lasted 5,000+ and still working. Both mounted on Springer plates. Only difference is recoil spring weights. The xdm has a 16lb. And the legion a 12lb and it's a significant difference in effort to rack the slide. I feel very strongly recoil spring weight has a lot to do with it, which is why there is such a large variance in optic reliability. Even still, some are better than others and glass height is important. Which is why I'm looking into the V5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
