mtwain56 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Getting a glock 17 g4 Looking for a top quailty Red Dot sight with good battery life, auto shut-off, and moa of 5. What are my choices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I have the 5MOA Trijicon SRO. Not sure about the auto shut-off, but I really like it much more than my Leupold DPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimaryBruce Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What are you dong with it? For duty/defense - the SRO is not recommended in sheer terms if durability. Trijicon RMR is the undisputed king of being able to get the get hell beat out of it and just keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Practical Shooting "Steel Matches ", in "Limited Div.", and target practice. About 250 rounds per week. Also carry occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul49 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Or Or you can take a totally different approach, like my night match and home defense Gen 3 G17. This is an old photo. It now also sports a matching rely ALG Defense magwell. Edited December 27, 2019 by Paul49 Image size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdp88 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 +1 on the SRO. I don't think the RMR will be any better for carry and the SRO is much better for range use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-More was always popular, I have not seen anyone at our range using one. I did see a advertisement for C-More red dot in Dillons Blue Press, and read somewhere you had to adapting plate for Glocks. What MOA's does it come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't have the durability of an RMR as far as being able to take a beating and keep going. Period. For defense and concealed carry, an SRO simply wouldn't be my go-to.

J-Rob Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Trijicon RMR Type 2 is an excellent choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtwain56 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 RMR 2 keeps up and is to my liking. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THE SMALLER WINDOW THEN TRIJICON'S SRO. ORIGINALLY I WAS THINKING 5 MOA, BUT 3.5 LOOKS GOOD FOR ME. AT THE RANGE I SEE SLIGHTLY MORE RMR'S THEN SRO'S, AND TRIJICON IS THE MAJOR CHOICE FOR GLOCK SHOOTERS.

dapribek Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think you might see more RMRs simply because the SRO is so new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimaryBruce Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Window size is a non issue when you're shooting a dot the correct way. Period. Both eyes open, clear focus on target down range. Dot should simply be superimposed over target. You shouldn't be looking at anything down range "through" the glass as if you're using a scope on a rifle. The argument is always "Well why do so many competition users use optics with bigger glass than RMR? Simple. Almost all those options are: Cheaper Offer convenience of top or side load batteries The best competition shooters will shoot just fine with an SRO or an RMR. It's not going to matter to them one bit. Edited January 12, 2020 by PrimaryBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwx40x40 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 While I’m in the camp that the RMR type 2is one of , if not the best red dot on the market. I witnessed an unusual fail at a Steel Challenge match last week. The glass window fell out. I thought this most unusual, but if it’s man made anything is subject to happen. I only make this comment as some think these things are infallible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Have you considered the Burris FF3? Good quality, durable, and unlimited lifetime warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
