Trijicon RMR: For when you need an optic that cost more than your gun.

[@Switchback_Outdoor_Safety]

Most optics are that way. Coming from long distance shooting, the optics is the most expensive piece.

[@BacklTrack]

@@Switchback_Outdoor_Safety there's a ton of newer affordable optics out now. Probably not for hyper accurate long range but you can get an rmr for like $300 or a holosun for $200 something. Short to medium range scopes can easily be had for $100-200

[@Switchback_Outdoor_Safety]

BacklTrack I would agree they can be had but the quality of construction and clarity of glass is a huge difference especially in optics. As for Red dot sights for pistols you get what you pay for. Halosun is the next best to Trijicon. Durability and consistency is key for duty ready optics. If you want to get into pistol red dot there are several options but @sagedynamics does a great job showing how durable many of these other options are and the short comings of even the Trijicon RMR.

[@Mr_Glock19]

If a Trijicon RMR cost most than your gun, you need a better gun.

[@kenstewart7811]

I'm learning to like a red dot on a pistol. I hated it at first but after i figured out how to present in a way to pick up the dot quickly - I started to dig it. I still train with both (iron and red dot) but there are definitely some advantages to a good optic on a pistol. I honestly don't think it matters much for every day carry because if you ever need to use your weapon (God forbid) you're most likely not going to be at a distance where sights of any kind are going to be much of a factor. I guess if you're engaging threats at 20+ yards - then a red dot is absolute the way to go but most defensive encounters happen between 0 and 7 yards and a red dot isn't going to do anything but add weight in that scenario

[@elmooko69]

Perfect timing! I've been agonizing over whether to jump into the pistol red dot pool, given the cost & logistics of getting a new setup.

[@wallerwhittemore6563]

Once you go red dot you never go back. Extremely worth it

You should make a Kydex holster for it. Just heat that sheet and slap it on to form it...

Bro!! That would be easy to do, got a 3D printer? Just make a thumb ring with a small rail mount, put any pistol red dot you want on it.. LOL That would be easy to make on a 3D printer!!

[@davidspicer332]

I took a class with Scott three years ago at the OTOA Conference. It was a great class, loved his sense of humor. But, most importantly, I learned a lot even in an abbreviated class. Scott is an excellent instructor and his techniques work. His class was a deciding factor to allow red dots on pistols in the Sheriff's Office that I am the training officer for. With our new Sheriff coming in this January I hope to get red dots issued with our pistols to all the guys that want them. I had already started purchasing MOS versions of our duty pistols when ever I have had to purchase new ones. I am not going to make them mandatory but I think as the guys get exposure to and use mine (which I believe in enough to have purchased my RMR for my issued duty weapon on my own dime) they will come around. I feel with our patrol area being mostly rural and back up being usually 5 to 15 minutes away, the guys being able to defend themselves alone is more important than uniformity, so as long as I have any say they will be able to use what they are most confidant with. Thanks for excellent content as usual. David Spicer

[@rebelpatriot_nc_9156]

Dots as small as 3.25 moa or smaller is where it's at for us. I had a major issue with my buddy's 6 moa. Very hard to focus on a big dot.

[@Asghaad]

@@rebelpatriot_nc_9156 i personally preffer to not compromise ... so for me ideal optic is Holosun 32MOA ring with fine 2MOA dot in the middle - MUCH easier to find than just plain dot with fine small dot (star... xD) in the middle for accuracy

This was a great video from Garand Thumb. This is probably his best information video since his Jim Fuller video. All of the information here was very relevant on why the future has been here with adding red dots on pistols. From talking about first focal plane shooting to going over the types of MRDS you can choose from, this is a great video to show to someone when introducing them to red dots on pistols. Outside of Jedi, my go to person and someone I consider a pioneer and authority on MRDS handguns is Sage Dynamics. I was fortunate enough to take a class recently with Aaron, and it definitely was a huge benefit. I had a lot of fun and it was great meeting and working with other like-minded individuals. I definitely am looking forward to seeing Jedi come teach a class close to where I live soon. Great video, Mike.

I'm a budget shooter and I always thought red dot was for rich people. Holosun has made it to where you can get that option for cheap and it's stupid durable. Ever since I got my red dot on my pistol it feels like I'm cheating. Easier to see your target and you can actually see what you are hitting
