Quoted: You could grind off the bosses. Retap and then drill holes for front bosses and use insertable pins. Sucks but I think it could be done. Maybe not. But the bosses are still centered the same. View Quote |
|
Quoted: Holes would still be threaded 4-40 instead of 6-32. Retapping is out because there's not enough metal to get good threads. So there would still need to offer the special screws in both thread patterns at least. View Quote I'd have to imagine they will have various thread options, but it doesn't appear these will work with post style mounts. Things like CHPWS mounts also likely won't work. Screw depth is also something they'll have to take into consideration. My guess is the standard screws will be proper length for an MOS Glock, but they'll have to offer other threads/lengths. |

I have a brownells slide that has the bosses. I have a battlewerx credit from their $60 cut sale and they use bosses so looks like Im getting another slide with bosses. But a couple are standard RMR cuts as well. I doubt I would ever replace all my optics with the Trijicon RCR air fryer but I would get at least one or two. Its not the end of the world for me is all Im getting at. |

There is no way in hell this was intended for a concealed carry gun. Duty pistols and maybe competition. There is currently one enclosed emitter optic on the market intended for carry, and that’s the EPS (here comes the shocker) Carry |

Quoted: Damn that’s actually pretty good. You did those on your phone? View Quote Yeah. I used a free app called Photolayers and tried to find measurements that were the same between optics to use for scale. Not perfect but probably pretty close. Close enough for me to know this isn't going to be the form factor I was hoping for. |

Aaron Cowan has his initial 2000 round review up for his Patreon supporters. I assume, given that this optic will create a ton of buzz, he'll have it up on YouTube soon.
Highlights: Yes. It uses capstan screws. Survived the 2k testing to include the drop tests. Big buttons but no problems noted. Fits in 6000 and 7 series Safariland holsters. Won't fit ZEV or other modifications of the RMR footprint. MSRP is $800! Trijicon RCR Mounting |

Very interested in the mailbox for my shotgun with the RMR CROM mount. RM06 is fine for me on handguns. Concealed carrier, not operator.

The rear deck height may be the same as the RMR but the forward deck height is much higher. I'm interested in seeing how this will effect BUIS requirments.

Quoted: The rear deck height may be the same as the RMR but the forward deck height is much higher. I'm interested in seeing how this will effect BUIS requirments. View Quote On both, the "deck height" measurement that's important is how high the rear portion of the body is, near the zeroing adjustments, because the height there is what will block the rear irons. The RCR and RMR appear to be the same dimensionally there. Where they differ is the position of the front glass window. On the RMR, the window has it's lowest point dropped slightly lower on the body than the top of the rear of the body. On the RCR, the window is raised up a bit and now has the bottom most level of the window roughly in line with the height of the rear area. So really, the RCR should work with the same Irons arrangments as the RMR, however the window will sit a touch higher, so I guess that means you won't see as much of the lower part of your front sight through the window, but you'll still see enough to line up and use the irons. |

Quoted: RMR HD MSRP $850 lol https://www.trijicon.com/products/subcategory/trijicon-rmr-hd-reflex-sight View Quote RMR is $731, SRO is $775. That puts street price on these around $500-550 after they Instagram buyer rush fades. Ill be buying for sure in that range. |

And the forward facing light sensor, to auto adjust brightness depending on down-range light levels, which IMO is the best new feature in the lineup. I'm not a die hard enclosed fanboy, so I would probably lean more to the HD for duty use between it and the RCR, mainly for that auto brightness adjustment. |
