jeremy kemlo Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Does anyone have both? Can you give me a good comparison? Glass size, dot clarity and brightness, how high the base is etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I have been running both on Open gun frame mounts. I think the Max is a bit better as an Open sight and will probably move the SRO to a CO gun where it seems more at home if I get another Max. Either are very good sights, assuming they hold up.

a matt Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I hope that the dot’s adjustment it NOT those small torx screws like the old Delta points. I have not seen one but that would be BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The Max adjustments are with a 1.5mm hex key (included, also used for the battery door). There's no locking screws to mess with, just put the wrench in and turn it click by click. I prefer wide-slot adjustment (use the rim from some brass or whatever's handy) like the SRO has because you can tag a mark on it to make sure it hasn't moved, but hauling around a 1.5mm hex key is not a gigantic burden.

a matt Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) I prefer the slots also. Good to know. Thank you... Edited August 25, 2019 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get any magnification with the sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is less of the 'fishbowl' distortion at the edge of the lens and the dot is a bit crisper and cleaner on the Max I have versus the 5 min SRO I have. It's slightly easier to clean the lens which needs doing more often in Open. There is less 'frame' around the lens. That could be a negative on a CO gun where the dot takes more abuse, but is fine on an Open rig. The SRO feels much beefier which is why I like it for CO.

For a small longevity update, I shot the IPSC European Championship match with a Max and it did fine, including bumpy travel to Serbia and back. I saw more than a few SROs there on slide mount Prod Optics guns and no reports of issues either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTP_Shooting_Sports Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Here is the FTP Optics Alpha 3 as another option for you. The glass side is very similar to the SRO with features like the Max. It is available in 6 or 8 MOA. It has the special lens coating like the Max to give clear glass, more light transmission and less glare. We also have the motion sensor but set up in a more favorable way for competition shooters than the Max. Our sensor will turn the dot off after 3 minutes of no motion and then right back on at last intensity as soon as motion is recognized. If anyone is at US Nats this weekend, you ca welcome to come and check it out on my Open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTP_Shooting_Sports Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 It's the same as the RTS but is slightly longer at the front so if you have a blast shield, you will have to clearance it slightly. It would use the exact same mount at the Sig Max. We will have mounts in stock shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun and your angle to the sun has to be just right. And it was never an issue when the gun was actually indexed right on target, only when holding the gun at the funny angles.

shred Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It's a reflection off the cover glass of the dot module. Slap a paster on top overhanging about 1/8" or so to make a shade cover for the dot and it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
