S2’s are ridiculous (in a good way).

After not liking dots for a while, I have finally come around. Only 3 range sessions so far, but making progress. Will be a while before I am as accurate as I want to be with the dot, but practice & dry fire are key. ;)
So much so that I am now thinking about sending my XD-M Elite slide out for milling so I can slap a dot on that too

Way to stick with it.

Dots take a good shooter and make them even better.  I resisted the dot for a long time.  Now, all my Glocks (12) have dots.  

I shot my CCW course last weekend.   I was so incredibly accurate, two of the rangemasters fist bumped me afterward.  

Dots are game changers.

Wait until you do a nightshoot with a dot.  It is 10x better than tritium sights.

This is the third G19 with RMR I have. Just got the slide back from Wager Machine. I thought I was done with gen 3s but a $350 new in box pistol was too hard to pass up. Scored this mint RM07 off the EE for $325. And the TLR7 was $75. Can't beat it for that price.

Howie's hockey tape. Really nice when your hands are sweaty. Not uncomfortable when carrying AIWB rubbing against your skin like grip tape. It's about $8 a roll on Amazon or eBay.

I want to want a dot so badly, but it just seems like they aren’t there yet. I can’t understand why people are OK with an open emitter on a carry gun and the close emitter stuff seems huge.

Carry guns are generally carried IWB where they aren’t getting banged around. It’s really a non issue.

And your hang up with enclosed emitters is with looks and not function.

You are really just making excuses.

Here is a pretty good point of view on open vs closed emitter from a guy that's pretty well respected in the field.

Open emitter hasn't been a problem for me when carrying or when using them in inclement weather. Had a long and rainy range session recently and the RMR did fine. Fogging due to the gun getting hot was the largest issue, and my rifle with a T2 had the same problem. Whatever, you just end up shooting partly occluded.

I think that’s mostly a fair assessment - I worry that the size of an acro would make it more difficult to carry, but that’s conjecture since I’ve never tried. I think I’m just hoping I can be talked into it

Plenty of LE and Mil units are using open emitters on far worse conditions than the average concealed carrier.  While it can be an issue under very specific circumstances, it's not an issue that can't be trained around.  And closed emitters only look big and bulky.  Some of the Holosun closed emitter options are pretty small, but none of them are all that big.

The frame and slide of the gun are considerably larger than the Acro.

Big dots and larger windows are awesome. I'd even go so far as to say they would be a good training aid for someone new to red dots or for someone with astigmatism. Yes, you can make a small dot bloom and appear larger but it will look like a huge spaghetti monster to many. With a larger perceived dot, you can dial down the brightness and and keep the reticle looking much cleaner.

Good segment on larger dots. Watch from 2:50 to 7:42:

This is 4 minutes of solid gold and I've found this to be 100% true. In fact I've started challenging myself in practice to do this:

"You want to get to where you're comfortable with the red dot leaving your awareness."

I have a Glock or two I want to send out for optic cuts. Do you guys pay to have the cut refinished or leave it bare and do it yourself with cold blue, spray paint, or rainbow glitter? If I pay to refinish it, it’s dang near $225 for the cheapest option.

My last one cost $150 for the cut, suppressor sights, and cerakote on the whole slide.

Very. They have super fast turn around time and do good work. They've milled four Glock slides for me now. Three RMR cut and one ACRO. Happy with them all.
