Canik does it again. Thanks Nils for a really good comparison video using competing optics that most people looking for an optic of this type should know so we can make a pretty good judgement if it's worth buying and trying out or not without seeing it in person.

Great video and nice comparison. Also thanks for sharing your personal use of 30k rounds plus without issue. Thank you fine sir!

I’ve been very impressed.

[@Neomet010]

Just scored one of these. Dot is very crisp and really visible in the SW desert sun. Nice glass and easy controls unlike some others. (I am looking at you SRO!) i have used all of optics in this vid. This is a fantastic optic at a bargain price. Thanks for the heads up on these Nils.

I put the MO3 on my TTI... I originally bought it for my SFT pro but it didn't for without a new plate and i ended up getting my TTI before i could order it so i put it on that! I think its incredible and i got mine for $189 and free shipping! Lol

Bought 2, both of the supplied batteries lasted less than a day. Also shooting at close targets into bright sun I get a lot of red "snow" in the window.

[@stovepipe8966]

The M03 is def on my radar when they come to Canada. The R3Max is my favourite , I like the clean dot , side mount battery and thin bezel. The 1st Gen bubble buttons do fail. Sig replaced my original scope with the new flat button version. I have 3 R3Max’s for my P320 Max’s and run the R1Pro as well on my IDPA rig.The SRO has a great dot too but I find the controls too stiff . It’s not really duty scope so the controls could be lighter. It’s on my Shadow . The 507 Comp is a good deal and I haven’t had any issues with any of my HS models . But I don’t like the reticles. They should just issue a 6 MOA only. I find HS multi reticles starburst a bit for me. I put it on my back up Shadow. I have few RMR ready pistols looking for a dot including a Rival so I’m looking forward to testing out an M03 ! Great review Thanks !

Great job Nils. Nice explanation, show 'n tell!

[@tylerboyer2006]

Respect the honesty on the SRO I do like the canik even though the ears are slightly off-putting, but if they work as intended, I'm all in on durability for pistol optics. Would love to see a stress test on the body of the canik

[@NilsJonasson]

By stress test, do you mean a large number of rounds shot? Or impacts from a drop while mounted?

[@tylerboyer2006]

@@NilsJonasson good point. I think both would be great information for the buyers. For the price less then $300 if it can be in the ballpark of durability of other expensive optics I think it will be a home run for us consumers and canik. I'm hopeful that's the case been looking for a big window pistol optic for a while I think this might be it. Thank you for the video very appreciated.

[@rebelmike99]

Look at the Trijicon RMR, it has the "cat ears" and their reasoning is durability and ruggedness. Only seems fitting that since Canik has pulled from the SRO design, they pull from the RMR as well.

[@tylerboyer2006]

@rebelmike99 I have the RMR to small of a window want to go for something with more viewing capability. Was looking at the SRO but expensive call me cheap but I'm always looking for a good deal while getting a decent product.

@tylerboyer2006 oh trust me I know, the cheapest I've gotten an sro for was about $450. My Mecanik M03 I found it on-sale for about $180 last week and now they are sold out, i joined the wait list. I have the M03 mounted on a Rival Darkside. Compared to the SRO, it looks a tad bit larger but just as clear and bright. I can't wait to get it out on a competition course.

The price is right, and I'm sure it's a good optic, but I wouln't want to give up the 32 MOA circle and dot of my Holosun. I have several optics with just the dot, they're not nearly as easy to "find" when drawing from conceal as the circle and dot.

Where is it made? I prefer domestic followed by any friends of ours (not China). FYI, I have a Romeo 3 Max on my Buckmark (0 problems), it uses the same footprint as the C-More RTS, but is switching to the Deltapoint Pro footprint the end of this month. Lastly, all domestic MSRPs are hundreds of over what they can be bought for, a Trijicon SRO is $559.99 at Optics Planet right now. Cheers, Tony

[@NilsJonasson]

That’s fair, You can also find the holosun for 3-350 and the MeCanik MO3 for 180-200 depending on where you look.

[@Neomet010]

Nils, I guess my only question is will it survive on a slide mount? I went through 6 warranty returns on a top rated optic not included in this comparison and found it all quite....annoying. If it is reliable, then this is a no-brainer. 🙂

[@NilsJonasson]

I’ll say this. I’ve used the final iteration of this optic for over a year and a half. That one optic has over 30,000 rounds through it. 99% while being slide mounted.

Having an issue with my M03. When I fire the gun it no longer works. Take the battery out and put it back in, it works until you fire again. Sometimes goes out when you rack the slide. Works as long as you don’t use it with the gun. Battery seems like it isn’t staying in place. Can’t tighten it any tighter either.

Contact customer service. They’ll get you squared away.

Same happened to me with a brand new unit, I never even made it to the range. It would turn off just from dry firing a few times. Just received a replacement from customer service whom was very responsive.
