@Marksman14
@tnmnmnan So, been following this closely. I made a call to someone who is now in the early prototyping stages of making steel MOS/RMR plates + mounting hardware 
We'll see how it pans out, but I am confident. Let's keep this bumped for the time being. @JohnnyUtah427 - What magwell is that? How does the funnel look? Any mags sticking on ejection? S/F |

Curious on this steel plate.
I have 3k rds through my C&H plate with no issues. Have racked off the picnic table at the range and barrels with no problems. If the weather holds out I have a long 1,000rd range day planned for the G19.5 MOS with the CH plate on Monday. (Burning through some old reserve 9mm I’ve had on hand) That will bring the total rd count to about 4K. We’ll see how she holds up. So far so good. |

There’s a couple threads on this,
Standard duty/military/competition is gonna be the RM06. Its the most popular model on the market. It’s also pretty easy to get into. That is the 3.25 MOA dot. For strictly competition there’s a 1 MOA dot. If you’re not used to shooting RMRs, it can be just a tiny bit harder to get used to since the dot is small. In my opinion, the 6 MOA dot is to big, but if you’re doing speed runs at close ranges that might be the better option. I’ve never owned a 6 MOA, I’ve only ever shot one once. The 1 MOA was too small for me (in my opinion) for a carry size, plus it can get washed out by light. The 3.25 is perfect. If you turn the brightness up all the way the dot will be a bit “larger” and if you turn it down the dot will be more crisp/precise and appear “smaller”. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My agency is the exact opposite. We have, in Policy, authorized the Trijicon RMR for use in duty pistols, however the slide SHALL be machined to accept that particular optic and only by ATEi. A few guys had slides done up by Jaegerwerks and the like and were able to be grandfathered in, but any new RDS setups must be done by ATEi. I have an M&P9 2.0 with an RMR done up by ATEi and I'm pretty pleased. Quote HistoryQuoted: My agency is the exact opposite.

I’ve got a Glock 34 with the rmr06 and I like it but I have a Glock 45 and 19x that both have the 6.5 dot and to me is the way to go. I can hit 50 steel just fine and is much faster acquiring targets within 25 yards. I’d say for a rookie dot user and for a carry gun it’s the way to go. The 3.25 dot is really nice at longer ranges and I have no problem hitting steel at 100 yards repeatedly.

Have all of them. 6.5" is at 100 yards. 3.25" at 50 yards and 1.625" at 25 yards. I have more 6.5 MOA mrds than the rest. If you have to take a shot with a pistol at 50+ yards, you might as well go get a rifle, move in closer, or get the hell out of there. YMMV

Speed / time wise it's hard to say. If I was still competing I'd probably use the 07, just because it's easier to see. Whether I'm shooting the 01 or 07, by the time my arms are at full extension I see the dot. The whole reason I started using RMRs is the front sight on my pistols was starting to blend in with my rear sight, no matter how much I widened the rear notch. Just get one, put it on your gun, spend about 10 minutes a night for a few nights, drawing and dry firing, and all will be good. |

~3000 rounds through my Gen4 G19 MOS w/Type2. I am not gentle with this pistol, and it has been 100% since my first round. Optic never loosened or sheared despite frequently using the RMR as a charging handle and occasionally racking the slide on my holster using the RMR. Love this gun.

I can see that if you train with a smaller dot that you can be proficient with it. I have two with the 6.5 and one with the 3.25 and when switching back and forth I am a little faster with the 6.5. I’m sure that if I dedicated myself to the smaller dot the speed would come. Training is the key to proficiency with all tools for the job.

Just a small update on my G19.5 MOS from the first page. Still carrying it daily, the finish sure isn't holding up. Galled Glock, they said it's "Normal". Perhaps it is for a Gen 5? I know all my previous Glocks never wore like this.
Oh well, I guess it's a carry gun. Here it is with the G19.4 that I carried in the same holster for years. The 19.5 MOS is 5 months old. The G19.5 MOS is a great Glock, except for the finish.

Not too thrilled with mine. Another broken screw guy.
My mounting plate came loose at about 300 rounds,remounted, then a little over a thousand. Hand tightened and used the Trijicon kit. Just used blue Loctite pre applied on both the Glock screws and Trijicon screws. Last night I used Vibratite and set my wrench to 15 inch-lbs. They snapped. I'll get that out and try some other screws. Oh,well. |

Not sure.
Either way, loctite needs a de greased surface. No idea why the screws broke unless you cranked on them a bunch during your reinstalls, but we know exactly why they backed out, and it ain’t because it’s an MOS. |

We sent our range guys to Aaron Cowan's class..... the SRO and Acro in its current state are not suggested for LE use. He is still seeing issues with the MOS platform. Loss of zero from screws loosening, broken screws. The best factory setup is FN. Milling is best.

I think his burn down tests and his other tests are great for seeing the max potential of a firearm but highly highly unlikely for any police officer. We have our colt LE6920’s fail. We have had (very few) glocks fail. Could have been ammo, most likely user error. No matter what platform there will always be some sort of fail rate.

Our Glocks have failed ranging from pins to locking block cracks. They do break. Lower now that we've switched back to 9mm. Our guns with the rmr setups, duty, off-duty go thru the armorers for setting up per specs and then gets the once over. |
