It does make it easy to get dialed in on the dot while still providing a basic system for fighting. Some will practice with no iron sight on a range or game pistol and carry the same kind of pistol with iron sights. Same could be true with a range pistol - one that is never carried. Just like on a rifle, it does remove any distractions and with practice is incredibly fast. Besides, no one’s life depends on what they do at a match. Given their time on the trigger, they are practiced at indexing through the screen. Until these new RDS are “perfect,” better to have and not necessarily need than the reverse.Ĭompetitive shooters seldom have iron sights on their RDS equipped pistols. Red Dots break, all of them, and you need sights in a fight. It’s just not acceptable (to me) to end up with no visible sighting mechanism on a carry pistol and iron sights insure that. Many newer RDS have built in rear sights that line up with the front and that’s fine, especially with smaller pistols. Whether the rear is in front or behind the RDS is personal preference, or dictated by space on the slide. My personal preference and recommendation is that carry or duty pistols have back up iron sights that can be co-witnessed if possible. Ultimately the fit at the front and rear of the RDS in the cut the less it beats up the sight. Universal seems to be the thing for factory offerings, but custom CNC machining is available for just about anything. Both use the Shield RMSc pattern, perfect for their size. Others have slides cut to fit one pattern - the Sig P365 XL and new Springfield Armory Hellcat are good examples.
Many factory pistols will offer plates that fit into their slide that let you use several of them.įN America’s 509 is a great example as is Glock’s MOS line.
P365 ROMEO ZERO INSTALL PRO
Sig Sauer’s P320 is fit for their Romeo 1 Pro, it will work with a Delta Point Pro but is not really designed for it.Įveryone seems to put their locking pins in a different spot. It seems as if everyone else is doing their own thing. The two most common mounting patterns are the Trijicon RMR and Leupold Delta Point Pro along with the Shield Sights for the smaller pistols. One of the more daunting and honestly irritating issues with a pistol RDS is mounting them on your pistol. It’s really all about what you are going to do with the pistol it’s on, not everything is best served by spending more on the sight than the pistol. If it’s truly just for fun or on a rimfire, many of the less expensive imports are fine and just plain fun.
P365 ROMEO ZERO INSTALL FULL
Holosun has really started to catch on and offer a full line of quality sights. Vortex has offered several sights for years, Crimson Trace has jumped into this market with a vengeance. With new sights hitting the market almost monthly there are a ton of choices that are excellent for most. Sig Sauer Electro Optics’ latest Romeo Zero is a great example of a compact sight designed around their Sig P365 XL pistol. Their new RMS-W is water proof and uses a harder glass screen. Shield Sights makes several including the RMS-C (Compact), one of the most popular. Given time, testing, and an ever increasing demand, those choices will increase.Ĭarry sights need to be strong and hold up to daily use, but can be smaller and easier to conceal fitting on smaller pistols. Military-issue pistol red dotsīoth the Delta Point Pro and Trijicon’s RMR / SRS have secured military contracts making them solid and proven choices.
Same goes for the Sig Sauer Romeo 1 Pro model and the Trijicon SRO. Leupold’s Delta Point PRO is next with quite a bit of testing under pretty harsh conditions.Īimpoint’s new ACRO looks to fit this category as well, it’s just new. Bring the pistol to target the same way you always have, and there will be a dot there - generally before the front sight. If you are an experienced shooter do what you’ve always done, build and maintain solid basics. The “trick” to using a pistol red dot is simple - don’t chase the dot. Using solid basics, recoil and muzzle control and proper training you will be more accurate, faster, and have better repeat shots using a dot in most every situation. Hold the dot on target and press, no need to “align” a rear sight.
The older you get the harder it is for most to focus on that front sight or even see it. If you can hold the dot reasonably steady you can get hits and it’s a ton easier to do it with an RDS than a front sight, especially as you age.Īnd that is another advantage.
Even from offhand it’s not hard to stay inside that fists distance at 25 yards.Įven hitting a silhouette at 100 yards is possible without much difficulty. At 25 yards from a supported position they are clustered together. Fist sized groups on a six inch steel at 50 yards is the norm for me using an RDS.
