funflyr Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Has anyone tried the Trijicon SRO on a open gun? Is the mounting holes the same as a RTS2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich406 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I’ve seen lots of open shooters using SROs. The mounting holes are different than a rts2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funflyr Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thanks. I figured that they were different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliYeti Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 RMR mount will work. It also has the same footprint of the RMR so you won't have to worry about issues like the Sig's using the RTS2 mounting pattern but not fitting lots of old generation mounts due to them not having the same foot print.

Joker1-1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 What do you guys say on the SRO? Get it.. Or stick with the rts2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Joker1-1 said: What do you guys say on the SRO? Get it.. Or stick with the rts2? I started with the RTS2 6 MOA. I had three of them. I could barely make it through a match before the dot dimmed. Switched to the DPP 2.5. Loved its brightness, battery life and ergonomics. The dot was dazzling and bloomed at high brightness settings. It was distracting to me, because I felt I was paying more attention to the dot than the target. I switched one to an SRO 5 MOA. I immediately loved it and ordered two more. With the SRO the dot stays round even at max brightness and it is a duller shade of red. I find I'm looking at the target and see the dot superimposed on it. I like it that way. The SRO auto setting is perfect for any USPSA COF that does not not include white steel. If it does, go to manual and up the brightness. For SCSA I always run it brighter on manual. Also, the rounder glass seems to help with centering round SCSA plates.

Silent Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have about 10 matches on my open gun with SRO. It’s my first and only dot but have no complaints so far. Easy to adjust and the dot is easy to see in the bright AZ sun. Nice round window. I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrarian Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 My SRO lasted about 4 matches before it stopped working. My RTS2 is still 100% after a year. I like both, think the SRO is a little brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleDude Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 SRO on both Open Guns. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo_Victor Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 SRO on my open gun has been fine after using it regularly since the 5moa came out. My only gripe is that if you have popple holes it can be annoying to clean bc the optics curved and you need some thin qtips to stick in there with a lens cloth to get the inner edges.

Posvar Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Guys in the CO threads complain about a “ghost dot” in bright sunlight, etc. Has anyone seen this on a frame mounted open gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have seen it. The mounting mechanism doesn't have much to do with it. It's due to the sun reflecting off the emitter. The SRO isn't the only optic that does this.

Timido Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I've seen the ghost dot with my SRO on my Carry Optics Shadow . I still like the SRO and am going to try it on my Czechmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc68cal Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have the Akai mount and really like it. I needed a spacer and a little bit of material removed from it because my slide didn't have enough clearance. The height over bore is really low. It's very coolSent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
