Gotta give credit where it's due - Trent at Unity Tactical is a great dude to deal with; answered all my questions, and is genuine. If ya'll are looking for a pre-milled slide for your Glock, check out Unity Tactical. I bought a Unity Tactical ATOM slide in FDE for my G19, and already bought the RMR and Aimpoint Micro adapter plate for it; I'm gonna try out both optics to see which one I like the most. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7439/10100622316_590055b3e1_h.jpg ETA: Not affiliated with UT in any way; just giving credit where its due, and recommending a good solution for individuals who want to get into the MRDS Glock. Is the side mount more robust than set screws in the top? |

It would be impossible to mount a T-1 and backup irons if the screws came in from the top. |

Not a RMR but a micro red dot nonetheless.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Seen too many reports of the battery losing contact with the RMR while mounted on a pistol. According to ATEI that does a lot of milling for the RMR's they have enough variation between them that ATEI needs the particular RMR you will use to measure and mount it correctly. I'll wait for the next couple of generations. I've been there when he fits RMR's to slides, he changes his cutter diameter compensation on his CNC mill a few thousandths of an inch at a time until the RMR body goes into the slide with a slip fit. That's why people have to send them in with their slides, every one is different-probably because there are multiple forging dies used by Trijicon and there's no way to tell which one was used on a particular body. |

stupid question...but is the RMR fiber optic (takes its light from the sun) or a battery? wondering how much a pain in the ass is it to have to turn your dot on for your go-to carry piece Daylight powered, and tritium at night. |

Is the love for the RMR over the Docter a trend thing? I appreciate the RMR is tougher and now comes in more flavours but that thick shroud really puts me off. I use both on carbines and have a Docter equipped long barrelled pistol (don't even ask!). I still favour the thinner shroud of the Docter or Burris as it is less clutter in my sight picture. I am faster with the dot than irons at all ranges, but then, inside 10 yards on a target as large as a man I'm probably not using whatever sights are fitted anyway...

The RMR is loved more, because it has a proven track record over the brand new Docter 3. |

I had one on a g19 but I got rid of it. It was definately more accurate, espically at longer ranges. but it was hard for me to acquire the red dot quickly. I won't be buying another one.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
would you put one on a pistol you were going to carry concealed daily? No. I actually don't like it for regular use because I am so used to irons on pistols that I am much faster with them. I think I spend too much time trying to perfectly center the dot. Its pretty good for suppressed NVG use though. 
ETA: If you do get one make sure to get the adjustable one, I have that and the fiber optic/tritium one, like the adjustable a million times better. Quote HistoryQuoted:

That is most likely because of the amount of time you have devoted to iron sights. The fastest shooters in the world use red dots. The ones that use both are faster with the dot. No question it takes a lot of work to learn a new system but thankfully most of the practice can be dry fire and done at home. |

L&M and everyone else mill the tolerances so tight that the bosses aren't needed. The sealing plate is needed if you want to make it waterproof. I use the sealing plate, and L&M installs the plate as a part of the install package. |
