GD is fickle! M249 being discontinued thread is also another example.

GD: I wish gun companies would offer military products to civis.
FN: Offers M249
GD: Too expensive, semi auto only, shit trigger, horrible accuracy. "I'll just get an AR. "

I’m not sure that’s a very good analogy. That would be like buying an F22 that isn’t stealth, can only drive around on the ground, has no missiles, and the gun is semi-automatic. It would obviously be pointless like a semi-automatic M249.

There’s about 20 different way to mount that sucker to the top of a shotgun, and that’s the worst of them.

Could it be that the RCR is built to a certain milspec that requires it to be more ruggedized and resistant to emp's and that's why its bigger then commercial units?

Just thinking out loud here.

…No. It’s big because Trijicon chose to use a RMR footprint for mounting and put the battery on top. Not saying those are bad things, but it does mean there are going to be consequences to the exterior dimensions.

For comparison, look at Steiner’s MPS, which is also an enclosed optic with a top-loading battery:



It has a similar top-heavy aesthetic because there has to be enough room for the battery on top of the lenses

I really wish Trijicon would ditch the blue tint on the lenses of all their dots. I swear it messes with my vision since I shoot with both eyes open.

I'm not the target demographic for the RCR and that's fine.  I bet it'll be great for duty guns in duty holsters.  I'm sure there will be people that put them on their carry guns too.  It's just too big for me to want on my carry gun.

I'll do whatever best suits my needs sport, you're more than welcome to do the same.

I didn’t answer because I wasn’t 100% sure my memory would have served me well enough but I thought they were going for about as much back then. They were the hot shit and demanded a hot price.

ETA - read 2019. I don't remember 2009 well.
Around what they go for now. $425ish. The type 1 hit $300 when the type 2 came out, if I remember correctly. I found an email from 2017 where I bought one for $349.

I ordered a RCR just to trigger everyone who likes to shit on others choices.  If I could dupe it and also spell break and their incorrectly I would.
It weird to see people go all boomer fudd on a new version of a well regarded non-fuddy device. Closed emitter version.
I remember when just putting optics on a pistol were mocked by the fudds.

I don’t think anyone is mocking the concept of pistol optics. Some people are mocking this particular execution of the concept. My opinion is a pretty solid “meh”. Looks like it’ll work for those who get one, I’m just not interested personally

I'm really interested in hearing from someone who switches from an RMR to an RCR regarding BUIS.  I just can't wrap my jlhead around the height difference not effecting iron sight choices.

The RCR did move the window up a bit, however in doing so it makes the bottom of the window level with the top of the body back where the elevation adjustment is.  On the RMR, the bottom of the glass actually sits lower than the high spot on the back of the body, and that high spot is the part the irons would have to clear to be usable.  

It's hard to see exactly here because of the lighting and angle, but the height of that rear body is the same (or damn close) between the two.  So you should still be able to alight the irons if your rear clears the rear of the optic, the only different is that in the RCR you'll probably see a bit less of the lower half of the front sight through the optic because the window is higher, but you should still see enough of the top of the front sight to make them usable.
