This is currently how my foam wedge (included) is set.
I shoot a lot with an RMR on my glock, and at this point it would almost be irresponsible for me to carry without a rds.

I have been carrying a G19 AIWB with an RMR for a bit now. Adding an RMR shouldn't change much as far as comfort and concealment.
Nice.

What holster?

I’ve got a JMCK AIWB holster.  
Good stuff.
I absolutely love the AIWB mag holder.

Best price on RMR’s??
View Quote
Well.......
What is going on with Sig price ($200) on the Romeo 1 without mount????

Thats cheaper than any "street price" I found on internet. Is it an outdated model or something?

Only 2 things keeping me from ordering:1) I think the 6 MOA dot would be better for me. 2) Wife would kill me since I just bought a rifle yesterday.

The other Romeo 1's there (some with mounts) are $360 and up.

I've been hunting with a rmr on my shockwave for the last year. I love it. It's been through rain, snow, a river, etc with no issues. Last week though I was shooting a couple carbines with RMRs on them in 34 degrees in very heavy rain. The lens was obscured with droplets and fog and the emitters were obscured. I was unable to use them or use my sights.

It wasn't instantly but after about a half hour I couldn't shoot.

I'm still a believer. Just something to take into consideration.

The were able to house the transmitter, but at the cost of little larger size compared to RMR.

I'd do like that you can change the battery without removing the optic.

Not Cory obviously but I like both the 3.25 and the 6.5. The difference when shooting is very small. The 6.5 is still smaller than the front sight and only covers 3.25" at 50 yards. I don't find one easier to find or precise over the other one.

It should be bombproof and fix the issue I was having. I don't mind removing the optic to change the battery. A good mount will return the rmr to zero. If not it's cowitnessed so you can adjust if you need to.

I have a 17 with and a 19 without.

The 17 is far faster and more accurate hands down, it's also easy to use with my night vision.

I did find that with shooting the RDS all the time my accuracy with irons degraded drastically until I recognized this and practiced more. I'm a bit undecided.

At at this point I don't think either way is wrong. I don't plan on putting one on my 19 anytime soon though. For a concealed carry gun I don't think it's necessary.

One of these days I will get my shit together and mill my G19 slide for an RMR. I'm nervous about doing it though because there are so many variations and I don't want to cut into any of the internals. I haven't really been able to find a clear drawing that shows you exactly where to drill and how deep.

I found that there is a cult like following for RDS on pistols on this page..

And threads about them are more like Facebook than good ole ARFcom..

I have gone from Colt SP1 to a LPVO on rifles in my “Boomer” life..

Handguns with a dot are that trend in a smaller package..

If they work well for those that use them great...

I may get one for one of my pistols..

Just when you start the bullshit about 100 yard take out the bad guys with a pistol
Ya I’m gonna call it..
I don’t care what you put on top of your pistol
It’s still a pistol

You still have legalities concerning self defense and deadly force..

You still have pistol ballistics

You still have pistol energy

You have simply put a sight on top..

Stop acting like a red dot makes you anything more than a person with a pistol

In case you’re to young to remember we have been improving the sight systems on firearms
Like forever dude....

I still have gran pa’s pre 64 Winchester with its Unertle 15x

All you youngsters are doing is fawning over the latest greatest sight system for handguns

Like two three times a day...

It’s like my daughter and new phones..

I get it...

Just think now it’s kinda funny the fanatical trying to bring us all into the fold...

I take very little advice from ArfCom any more..

What I have learned from the multiple threads in multiple forums in this topic could be condensed to a paragraph if you cut out the imma gonna take out a bad guy at 200 yards with muh Glock...

Cost
Mounts
Battery life
And which is the most time tested.
Will I be able to use it without my glasses..
Holster options
Is it harder to conceal..

Note the last three no one here can answer for me
The eyesight
Holster that fits a person well
And how well that person can conceal a firearm depends on the person.

Now “Haiku” away my ole friend...

So far it is
But I have only made 3 range trips with it
I will have run it through some carbine matches that a local club has one a month and some close in drills when we get the indoor range to ourselves before I say it’s working for me..
Around the house it does.
And I have only shot it to 75 yards
I will have an opportunity to shoot it to 600 we will see.
Dots much clearer without my glasses than both the EOtech and MRO
Makes it more useable..

I wonder how an RDS on a pistol looks without my glasses...
The range yesterday didn’t have any RDS pistols for rental

Have to wait for the next time I can use my friends Glock to test that..

Not paying 400 500 bucks to find out I can’t use the sight without glasses..

Concur. Have both mounted on different pistols. Can’t say I notice a lot of difference. The little one is still as fast, and the big one is still precise. Work about the same.

The laws concerning self defense vary from state to state a bit.
So your mileage may vary..
Here the basic rule is you can only defend life..
And the threat has to be imminent
So legitimate self defense distance would have to place the person you just killed at a distance where they posed an imminent threat to you.
I suppose you could conceivably find yourself in a situation where someone was shooting at you from a distance far away..
Or you decided to take a long shot at someone trying to inflict great bodily harm or death on another..
But  usually self defense distances are measured in feet not yards..
I as part of my self defense training take law classes periodically taught by a criminal defense attorney
One with trial experience involving Homicide..
I would recommend you do the same as part of a complete training regimen versus asking GD...
So a nut job shooting people 100 yards from me with a rifle is not legitimate for me to take the shot.

Cool.
Thanks for your input.

Or you decided to take a long shot at someone trying to inflict great bodily harm or death on another..
But  usually self defense distances are measured in feet not yards..
I as part of my self defense training take law classes periodically taught by a criminal defense attorney
One with trial experience involving Homicide..
I would recommend you do the same as part of a complete training regimen versus asking GD...
So a nut job shooting people 100 yards from me with a rifle is not legitimate for me to take the shot.

Cool.
Thanks for your input.
You daydream a lot don't you?
Self defense is all close range. Until it isn't.

Maybe ol' Vic was a daydreamer.
No kidding.

Got to remember, much of the thought behind us not taking shots at 50 or more yards was because we never thought we could make a hit at those distances...

So far it is
But I have only made 3 range trips with it
I will have run it through some carbine matches that a local club has one a month and some close in drills when we get the indoor range to ourselves before I say it's working for me..
Around the house it does.
And I have only shot it to 75 yards
I will have an opportunity to shoot it to 600 we will see.
Dots much clearer without my glasses than both the EOtech and MRO
Makes it more useable..

I wonder how an RDS on a pistol looks without my glasses...
The range yesterday didn't have any RDS pistols for rental

Have to wait for the next time I can use my friends Glock to test that..

Not paying 400 500 bucks to find out I can't use the sight without glasses..

I found that there is a cult like following for RDS on pistols on this page..

And threads about them are more like Facebook than good ole ARFcom..

I have gone from Colt SP1 to a LPVO on rifles in my "Boomer" life..

Handguns with a dot are that trend in a smaller package..

If they work well for those that use them great...

I may get one for one of my pistols..

Just when you start the bullshit about 100 yard take out the bad guys with a pistol
Ya I'm gonna call it..
I don't care what you put on top of your pistol
It's still a pistol

You still have legalities concerning self defense and deadly force..

You still have pistol ballistics

You still have pistol energy

You have simply put a sight on top..

Stop acting like a red dot makes you anything more than a person with a pistol
Your phrasing is a bit off. Are you saying the LPVO is not working out for you?

Dude you need to stay away from these threads. Stop shitting in them because of your preconceived notions of bullshit.
You're like the gander mountain gun counter guy trying to give advice.

After all it’s a dot sight
They have been around for a long time

In case you're to young to remember we have been improving the sight systems on firearms
Like forever dude....

I still have gran pa's pre 64 Winchester with its Unertle 15x

All you youngsters are doing is fawning over the latest greatest sight system for handguns

Like two three times a day...

It's like my daughter and new phones..

I get it...

Just think now it's kinda funny the fanatical trying to bring us all into the fold...

I take very little advice from ArfCom any more..

What I have learned from the multiple threads in multiple forums in this topic could be condensed to a paragraph if you cut out the imma gonna take out a bad guy at 200 yards with muh Glock...

Cost
Mounts
Battery life
And which is the most time tested.
Will I be able to use it without my glasses..
Holster options
Is it harder to conceal..

Note the last three no one here can answer for me
The eyesight
Holster that fits a person well
And how well that person can conceal a firearm depends on the person.

Now "Haiku" away my ole friend...

OP should change the title of this thread. Clearly, any opinion that is not 100% pro RMR is being shit upon and he has already made up his mind.

Title should read. "I am getting an RMR and if you don't, you're stupid."

Why the 07?
A friend has the 06 it takes me a second to find it. I think I’ll like the marginally bigger dot. I don’t think the gun will ever see anything past 50 yards. So I’ll take the larger dot for (hopefully) easier close up shots.

Not Cory obviously but I like both the 3.25 and the 6.5. The difference when shooting is very small. The 6.5 is still smaller than the front sight and only covers 3.25" at 50 yards. I don't find one easier to find or precise over the other one.

Nice to hear. I’m sure the differences are pretty minimal.

Deciding to put one on my CCW is not something that keeps me up at night... I see the pros, but I'll sit on the fence... try a few out and see how it goes..

There is still a lot to be said for the KISS principle... and I'm not planning on taking down any gunmen at 100 yds anytime soon....

It’s a constant in these threads
Disagreement is frowned upon
And yep safe bet OP already had his mind made up
Verification is all he wanted...
Buy a dot
You don’t need ARFcom’s approval..
If it makes you faster better and capable of 100 yard shots
Keep it
If not
Put it on the EE
Start one of theses threads
And someone will buy it...

I supposed because I’ve taken several defensive pistol classes, that means I’m just daydreaming about when I’ll have to use my carry pistol.

Arf can be full retard with its logic.
No wonder it’s so obsessed with AOC.
