My first rmr I thought this Optic had such a small window it sucks. Now that I’m good at shooting I’m like why do I ever need anything bigger? I can see the world around my optic and only need the window to show my door dot. It’s not like the window is my exclusive picture of the world around me I still have peripheral vision
@armeddiver5 күн бұрын
@@Bigbearjblaze My first optic was an RMR, which I still have and use. The Romeo X Pro has a smaller window than the Trijicon RMR. I have been using a Romeo 1 for about eight years and for me it is the perfect size, but I really thought I needed to replace it because Sig abandoned the Romeo 1 footprint and my carry Romeo 1 was pretty beat up. I called Sig and was told by Customer Service that the Romeo X Pro was the latest and greatest, plus it co-witnessed with standard iron sights. So based on the recommendation I bought it. It never dawned on me to think that the optic window would be smaller. I never even considered researching it first. At 70 years old I for God Sake should know better.

Thank you. Trijicon is the industrial standard for pistols. I am doing a Glock 34 build and looked really hard at the Trijicon SRO. I did some research and went with the Vortex Defender XL instead. The big reason(s) for going with the Defender XL are; Large window, durability, warranty, price and the fact that Vortex includes the required MOS plate. Before you go with a Trijicon, do a little research and see if there isn’t something that will do the same thing, but with a better price and warranty.

Watched this whole video to figure out what exactly was disappointing with this guys build. The only thing I can come up with is this guy can’t shoot and he must be disappointed in his ability. He has in the neighborhood of 6-7000 dollars in this setup and expects he can buy tighter groups. Here is the reality my guy, spend time behind the gun and get better. The whole video is him explaining the bits and pieces he put on the build, not what makes this so disappointing. Waste of time, a waste of money, and he is probably already started on his next build because it isn’t about an accurate rifle, it’s about him showing off the ridiculous amount of money he has in these things and still wonder why he can’t get groups under an MOA at 100yards. Keep shooting bud, you may get there eventually if you understand it’s about developing technique instead of trying to buy small groups.
