wanttolearn Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 My Son loves the p226 and he wants to start competing in steel shoots. he's quite serious and very safe. i'd prefer to cry once rather than purchase something he'll rapidly outgrow but i wouldn't mind not throwing money at bling. We would sure appreciate any guidance. My Son showed me photos of a Holosun 509 series as well as the large red dot that was on Max Michel's pistol but honestly i know so little about all of this and we're open to any and all brands and models. thank you.

dapribek Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The Max Michel sight is top of the line and is excellent. Comparable to that is the Trijicon SRO. A little less expensive is the Leupold DPP, but nevertheless an excellent choice. I’d suggest a 5 or 6 MOA dot for Steel Challenge. BTW I have 3 SROs and one Leupold. Hope this helps.

Nathanb Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have an sro and the 509t. The sro has bigger glass unfortunately the 509 isn’t on a pistol to compare directly to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Go with the Romeo Max. I swapped all of my guns to those, and they have been flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanttolearn Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 anyone have any experience with the Bushnell RXS250 ? would it compare well to the aforementioned or would it hold him back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 If your looking for something a little less $$ with great quality take a look at FTP. Same mount config as the CMORE/SIG models. Nice dot with nice quality glass, large window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan R. Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I just purchased a milled slide with a romeo from Sig for my P226 USPSA Edition. Awesome set up for an already awesome gun. https://www.sigsauer.com/rx-slide-assembly-p226-romeo1pro.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I have the Holosun 507C X2 and it's a great sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The Trijicon SRO is king IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I have used Burris FIIIs 8 MOA, C-More RTS4s 6 MOA and Railway 12 MOA, Leupold DPPs 2.5 MOA and Trijicon SROs 5 MOA on my steel challenge guns. My fav is the SRO. I also run them on my USPSA Open guns. Second choice is the DPP. Before you buy anything see what will work on your P226. Not everything will. Consider having him shoot a couple matches with iron sights to see if he likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desk-Jockey Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 FWIW for game guns I have become a fan of round glass such as an sro and the old Cmore. For round steel, there is something my eye likes about how the round glass frames the target with the dot in the center. It works on rectangular targets also though not as well. I really like the cmore I have on my steel ruger and I just put an sro on my carry optics gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
