[@mikeburklin2675]

Absolutely love the RMRHD

[@jbw5485]

How much have you shot the SRO? Can you compare them? Those two are tied at the top of my list for my next 2011 pistol. I have rmr type 2’s and Delta point pros.

[@LackLusterMedia]

Just put the HD on a DS9. LOVE IT.

[@CompetitionChris]

I have the 507 comp on my DS9 LOC. How do you like your DS9? I've had mine about 6 months and I love it. Best gun I've ever shot.

[@kyles6964]

It’s weird to think about my favorite KZbin channels watching KZbin videos @lacklustermedia

[@JakeCamo]

Awesome review as always. I think for duty, the rcr is the choice over all other enclosed optics. But if you are looking at non enclosed, the RMR HD has too much competition from sig/holosun/vortex/eotech etc

[@mooktemas6800]

I am a fan of enclosed optics. I own the RCR and RmR-HD; however, I prefer the RmR-HD because of its functionality. It’s the best out there in my opinion.

[@tianlamian]

i really love the round hood design of the SRO, it's a big window but seems to conceal easier as there's no long corners to catch my shirt

[@ericbergfield6451]

I put the RCR on my Echelon, & although I'm glad to have it, I wouldn't get a second one for any of my firearms. The thick hood (where the battery goes), is my biggest problem with it, because when I put a suppressor on my Echelon (which is always), the bottom portion of the window loses additional vision due to there being a suppressor out the front of the firearm. Overall, it's fine, but I would recommend against using it on a suppressed weapon system

[@raylandraybels9462]

I have the rmr hd on my echelon. When I put my omega 9k on it, it leaves me enough window.

[@WearilyCorrect]

Works just fine on a silenced glonk.

[@MrSamalama25]

How well does the Echelon suppress?

[@ericbergfield6451]

@MrSamalama25 The Echelon shoots nicely with my ti can on it. Initially I noticed some carbon blowback, but it wasn't awful. No complaints.

[@UltimateEnd0]

They're all wonderful optics with different use cases.

[@davesaints8023]

I have a RMR HD. I am running the dot on mine. I don’t really like the circle dot. I like it a lot.

[@johnhinton1415]

Appreciate the comparison i actually wanted this answered and figure the HD was the best bet for me. It does seem hard to conceal but i guess ill figure that out after gathering the money to buy it! Lol

[@milspecmike8440]

I chose the RCR over the HD despite it being for a carry pistol for 2 reasons, the dust/lint buildup on the back glass is wiped off easily and I’ve had water build up on my open optic emitter during a horribly rainy 3 gun match, rendering it useless for the first shot on each stage. Once that pistol is out from under your garment, if it’s raining, that possibly exists and it sucks when it happens. Not running out to replace all my open emitters but between a slightly larger window and the enclosed, enclosed was definitely the way to go. Love the optic too, never understood why Trijicon fetched higher prices until I owned one. Dot is a mini sun if turned all the way up, the only one I own that I’ll shoot on a sunny day at less than full brightness. I also find the circle reticles to be just a gimmick on MRDS’, shooting into the sun, they get completely washed out and bloom the entire window. For a pistol, I’m sticking with the simple dot, different for rifles with larger optics, those circle dots have usefulness and aren’t affected by shooting into the sun like the smaller ones.

[@Iamnothere1775]

The Holosun 507c has the ability to change the brightness of the ring or to choose different dots by a press of the brightness button.

[@PnP-td1mt]

He and most in here know that. The RMR HD and RCR do this also and have superior glass plus a superior reticle to the 507c.. I run a 507c on an angle with the circle dot reticle on my 3 gun rifle.

[@ddd910m4]

@@PnP-td1mtin the video he states that he’s not aware of any other optics that have that feature… meaning he did not know that.

[@brody6504]

The brightness of the ring is not independent of the dot on a holosun.

[@Iamnothere1775]

@@brody6504 actually you can change the ring and increase/decrease the brightness, though both functions are controlled by the same buttons

[@PnP-td1mt]

@@brody6504 I don’t believe anyone said that. The RMR HD does have this function.

[@jeromesimpson7701]

Well, was shooting Comp in pouring rain and SRO was a complete washout, for rainy days I am thinking of having an RCR handy

[@mulder4528]

Great review/discussion I was curious about the RMR HD, looked at an RCR it was a tall beast for sure and not a lot of window size for all that real estate it takes up. You got me leaning toward RMR Hd for my next dot.

[@DavidBrown-jt7yi]

How do these Trijicon optics looks compared to the Vortex defender XL or the Holosun EPS.. Those are the two other optics I'm looking at.

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

they aren't any better, I prefer vortex and holosun I have both of those optics. The XL is 200 bucks at SCHEELS right now

[@MRsolidcolor]

huge price range.

[@dansmaaslet6623]

Trijicon is military grade vortex, and holosun are civilian grade, which is also reflected in the price

[@JusticeFreedomDestin]

Once they have proper green dot options, I’ll look at these more, especially the RMR HD and RCR

[@FiringLineShooting]

Exact same thoughts all the way around. Thanks for your review!

[@tylerrodriguez9233]

I wanted the RMR HD so bad for my Wilson SFX9 when it came out, but it overhangs the ejection port and there was no guarantee it wouldn’t cause issues. I had to go with the Holosun Comp instead for no overhang

[@LVbibby]

Thanks for the video. Interesting you were ok with the circle reticle; I have an eps mrs and the 507comp and don't like the bigger options. I did keep the ring only reticle on the eps mrs as it's on a tiny canik mc9 and probably switching it to dot only soon.

[@PkwyDrive13]

Classicfirearms did this exact video format 2 days ago lol but you’re cooler than them

[@Hoodstapizzo]

Does trijicon make a green dot optic because I only see red dots an I pick up green much better

[@danielhenderson8316]

Not for pistols. They do have the MRO Green Dot for rifles.

[@raydraper283]

RM08 is a green triangle option, but it's been discontinued

[@bemo4313]

Unless I’m wrong, I cannot understand why none of the Trijicon have auto-ON auto-OFF. I would love one bit the lack of this feature stop me. I’ll stick with SIG until Trijicon modernize their line up.

[@devonbashant7351]

Not a trij, but have you tried the scs 320? No batteries to worry about, and the auto brightness actually works. Been my carry optic for the last year and i dont think i can go back. Only complaint is not being able to cycle through the brightness settings manually. But the auto works extremely well so eh.

[@patriotfromthenoket6141]

I’ve had my SRO’s go down for some reason. Pain to send them in and lose it for a month. I’ve switched to the Vortex Defender XL and it’s good. I hope they make it in a smaller dot, the 5moa is a little big at distance for me but it’s a super clear dot.

[@warrenrosen132]

Just,shot,scsa match with a new Defender XL on a mk4 Ruger .22. Nice optic.

[@aaronsewell5675]

How does the optical quality compare between these four?

I have the RCR on a nighthawk TRS commander. I’m not a fan of it. The parallax is terrible!! RMR HD isn’t bad. The blue ish tint is kind of annoying.. I’m a die hard SRO guy

[@PnP-td1mt]

You can turn that circle off on the HD and just run the dot. I’m hoping you knew that? You can also change the brightness of each separately. Meaning the dot can be brighter than the circle while both are displayed. I circle dot only HD doesn’t exist..

[@JD-tn5lz]

Trijicon rocks. I've tested and evaluated several different makes and models of pistol dots for my prior employer and myself personally. The only makes that I ever recommended were Trijicon and Steiner. My colleagues also. Every other make (V*****, M*********, B*****, H******, S** S****) that I (we) tested failed in one way or another. Not that the others are necessarily junk, just that no matter what the conditions are, that dot has to be ready every time. Features rich and low price point are nice, but spending a little more on good tools is a proper investment.

[@TACTICALROMANIA]

Well, I think I figured out the hat...a meta Dad Joke? As for Trijicon, made in USA is good, and I guess ruggedness is too, but I'm still annoyed with them monopolizing the footprint market for several years with a silly wide footprint. Anything with a slim slide (say 1.1" or less) should just go RMS and be done with it.
