Did you not shoot @Leshaire's G19 with RMR at the IV8888 range day?

I did. I didn't shoot it too much but I liked it. I want to put some time in with one to see if it helps me enough to justify the cost.

I've been thinking of getting a Burris FastFire for my Victory .22 as a testbed and get accustomed to a reddot before I put one on my go-to Glock.

I've also been considering a reddot on my shotgun for the same reason, I want to be able to keep both eyes open when dove hunting.

I've been reading good things about this company.

Apparently they are a British company who made or makes sights the British military use. The reviews I've read have all been good and the price is much lower than a Delta point pro or RMR. They sell a MOS plate made for their sight that allows co-witness. I've been tempted to get one and buy a MOS Glock. It would be more cost effective than getting milled I think. I just plan to wait for more real world reviews. @Leshaire have you seen these yet?

Yeah I saw them when they first came out. Pricey for an unproven dot imo. Another $150 ish and you have the most proven dot on the market. Just my two cents.

That's why I'm waiting for more reviews, It will be next year before I'm ready to buy something like that anyway. The reason I like that one instead of just getting a RMR is that I can get a MOS Glock and it will co-witness without having to get Suppresor height sights. It would end up much cheaper because I wouldn't have to pay for slide work and buy new sights.

It looks like the new generation RMR has fixed some of the issues the last had which is good. It's just a lot of money for an optic that costs more than the Glock did.

I'd be worried about the polymer lens scratching.

I agree. Depends on the material though. My glasses have plastic lenses and after having them three years, 2 of them with my kid messing with them, I don't have any scratches yet.

That little bastard makes me want a shield in the worst kind of way. The only thing missing is a threaded barrel.

@Leshaire @Rwjeter I just did some googling. The British army bought 20k sights from that company to mount on their ELCANs. It's not the pistol sight but it does give me some confidence in the company if the Brits are using them.

Haha yeah. I can't use them for shit. Hands are too bulky for those little buggers. 26 with a +2 is as small as I go and still able to hold on.

I may end up doing that. If it has good reviews next year I'll probably get one and try it out. Worst case it's garbage, I sell the MOS Glock and put the optic on a range toy. I don't mind spending RMR money if I have to, but if this one ends up being a good one I'd be happy to save the money.
