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. What holster? JM Custom kydex. 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. Good stuff. I absolutely love the AIWB mag holder. |

I hate you fucking guys. Best price on RMR’s?? View Quote 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 Is it an outdated model or something?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 had the option to RMR my night stand G17 or my carry G19

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. |

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

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.

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.
