Now I just need to decide which suppressor height night sights will give me a lower 1/3 using the Trijicon RMR..........

View Quote I just did a bunch of reading and research on BUIS. If you want low sights Dawson is a great route. Dawson Precision is another option and you can get them as low as your optic allows. My convo with Dawson is below. I went with a .335 tall rear and a .330 front which is as low as you can use the whole rear notch. I like it a lot. From: Dawson Sales Yes, that is correct. .010 is like a few sheets of paper between your fingers. On Tue, Mar 16, 2021 at 1:38 PM Adam Hey Dawson Friends, I'm looking at purchasing the lowest usable iron sights I can for use as backups with my RMR on a 19 MOS. I found on a couple forums you had recommended to: Measure from top of slide to bottom of optic window (for me this is .245") Add .100 to allow for use of the full rear sight notch So for me that would be a .345 rear sight, the closest stock offering you have is .335. So I'd just be losing .010 of usable rear notch correct? That isn't a deal killer for me, mainly just concerned sights will clear the optic and are usable. Some Modern Samurai Project students have mentioned using the .335 as well with success. Am I on the right track here? Thanks a bunch! Adam |

Considering putting a dot on my FNX45T.
Currently looking at regular 507, 507 Vulcan acss, and the 508t. This will be my first dot on a handgun and the reticle system of the holosun seems like it will help learning to pick up the dot. If I really like it I’ll probably move up to an RMR and move the holosun to something else. |

I prefer my red dots to be red dots rather than some sort of reticle because I have quite a few Aimpoints. The nice thing about the FNX is that the sights are tall enough to cowitness, so while it takes some time to get used to using the dot, the sights help ease you into getting a consistent presentation with the dot. You will notice movement with the RMR that you didn't with the iron sights. Also, the fact you are looking at the front sight through the RMR lens does not degrade your ability to see the dot when it is dark and the RMR is off so you still have 100% use of irons if your battery dies or something. I was concerned about that because I remembered the RMR on the SDO I was issued having a much bluer tint than the one on my FNX does. ETA: pics Attached File |

Their ALS system is over-molded so it should fit most lights. My holster fits an X300U, X300V, and TLR-1. They will not fit the larger lights with laser modules like the X400 or TLR-IR. Safariland might make a different version of those models that does, I'm not sure. |

I have 2 x DPPs and when it comes to speed and target acquisition, the DPP wins “for me” every time. And BTW, why the hell would you want to disable the shake awake? That’s just silly.

I spend a lot of time on a uspsa forum and there is a ton of issues with the dpp. Leupold recently changed the board in the dpp's, maybe it fixed them or maybe it didn't. I can get a pretty good discount on the dpp's and I don't bother. If I wasn't using trijicons then I might or just try the holosuns. Trijicon's price truly sucks but their failure rate is heck of lot better when shooting tons of rounds. For a non comp gun then the dpp or holosun would be fine.

The big window is also super nice and wish more companies did it. I went Trijicon partly because of the drop testing on Sage Dynamics. Aaron seems like a fair guy and he just says they don't hold up. I personally am known in my group of friends who are also shooters to have the worst luck. My mantra is "it could be raining ten lb. pussies and I would get hit in the head with a 10 lb. dick." It was funny for awhile but now my friends legit feel bad for me because they know I am not a dumbass but if there is some stupid bad thing to happen to a person it usually lands on me. I would get a DPP and just bump in to a wall or throw it on a bed or something taking off my gear and shatter in to pieces and the battery catch on fire. No...really. I hope what somebody said is true and Leupold is working on it to improve it. I will be the first in line to buy one if true and it is proven. |
