Best RMR? for Glock m40 10mm -Looking for Quality but doesn't need to win a war

[TheFox]

I'm looking for rmr suggestions.
Glock 40 10mm
It will be carried occasionally for pp but mostly will be used at the range. It might come with me in the car also. It could get bumped around a little but I don't expect to be taking this gun to war. I just need something good for the money. Hopefully lifetime warranty. Decent battery life.

Vortex has the best warranty in the biz, but the Holosuns are great for carrying. The big circle makes the dot easier to find. My first RDS was a Vortex Venom and it took some time to get used to finding the dot quickly.

Is there a way to make it just the dot as an option or is it always circle and dot?

I’m not sure, maybe someone who actually has one can weigh in on that. I’ve shot a 507c V2 but never actually owned one so i didn’t mess with the settings.

Has any company perfected the shake awake feature on their sights yet? As in at least 99% reliable.

Yes. The options on the Holosuns are a) 2 MOA dot with 32 MOA circle, b) red dot only, c) circle only

Never had any issues with my DDP or 507's

A) RMR is an individual line of optics from Trijicon. So, by default, the best RMR will be *THE* RMR by Trijicon. On a 10mm gun I'd go with one of those.

B) if you don't want to pony up for a real RMR, I'd look at one of the Holosun offerings.

C) if there's any chance your life will depend upon it, I'll stop looking there.

D) If you wanted to get one of those optic mounts that people use on older "open guns" (like the ALG 6-second mount), then virtually any quality optic will work decently.

Another vote for the real RMR. Always on, crisp dot, bullet proof.

I had a Holosun. Nice red dot. Will probably be fine. But I ended up liking the larger 6.5 MOA dot on the RMR so I could keep it on a low setting and have a nice round dot instead of the starburst effect I had on my Holosun due to having to crank up the brightness because of my older eyes.

I tried the circle dots but didn't care for them.

Buy once, cry once.

If it's personal protection, needs a good warranty, battery life, and be able to get bumped around. Trijicon RMR

I had a G20 milled and put a Trijicon RMR on it. While I was researching micro red dots I had read quite a few people saying the Holosuns and Vortexes didn't hold up under the recoil of full bore 10mm loads. Unfortunately its been a while so I can't provide links.

 

[gregkl]

One thing I will add; if you are having a slide milled, make sure it is for a red dot that you will want long term. I know that at least some of the Holosun's have the same footprint as the RMR but others will be proprietary.

Go with a proven company, proven optic and one that you think will be around for a long time.

You can always buy a new slide, but that can be costly. Much more than paying more up front for a top tiered optic.

I've got 3 Trijicon RMR's. Any questions? Pay once, cry once.

have you played with an SRO? I'm curious of RMR vs SRO from them.

Do you have the solar RMRs too?

 

[shibumiseeker]

I have the Burris FastFire 3 on mine. It's been through about 4k plinking rounds, 2 batteries (in 3.5 years), 2 deer (one 49 yard shot), and several hundred of my nuclear rounds. It gets a little squirrely when the battery is low but no issues with a fresh battery.

 

[Goodcat]

I run RMRs, but Holosun are great too. Whatever you get, DONT get a non-adjustable. Too many training issues coming out of low light and losing the dot for a long amount of time, by me and many professionals I know.

 

[flatlander]

I attempted to like the SRO but was too bulky for my tastes.
The solar model just didn't trip my trigger either.
I fought the whole idea but listened to some real hard users on another forum finally got in the game and never looked back.
First thing I did was get training with Coach (R.I.P.) and ran it hard through all his classes a couple of time. Now I'm sold on them.

I had a Vortex Viper on my Glock 40, but it would not hold a zero. Now I have a Trijicon RM-07 mounted in a Forward Controls plate and all is good. I plan to buy a Holosun 507C at some point to put on it for the bigger sight picture and solar backup. Then I will put the RMR on my Glock 34 and make it a GSSF unlimited gun.

 

[Shoots4Fun]

I like a lot the Trijicon RMR with Dual Illumination. Never put a new battery in there and it's always "on".

A man with a plan! I like that. I was going to put my 407C which is what I started with (replaced with a RMR) on my AR as a back up sight. But then I sold my AR, lol. So I sold the 407.

Now I have the RMR on my 9mm and a Vortex on my Ruger MKII.
