    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 48: who's carrying with an RMRcc?

    All, I've come across a smoking deal on a Glock 48. And an equally smoking deal on the RMR cc. Anyone on here running this combo or a 43x with RMRcc? Hard? How are the subcompacts holding up over reps like the 19's, etc? Any issues mounting? Seems like @E.Bryant had some advice WRT...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    OK, Just pulled the trigger on the RMR 6.5 version. Eurooptic has the best deal I could find at 500 ish with shipping and taxes included. If anyone knows of another place that has them cheaper, let me know. I've got at least one more to get done. I'll spend the extra money on training ammo...

    Good points from both of you gents. Basher, who are you using?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    I see what you mean. Three things have to be perfect - the cut, the bosses, and the posts, or it's a disaster. Kind of. OR We can make one thing perfect - the cut, and then use thicker screws to attach the optic. A tight enough fit on the cut makes the bosses and the posts unnecessary...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    Thanks. I was already intending to go with direct milling instead of the MOS route. Battlewerx has about a one week turn-around. They also mill bosses to index the sight in the front, and leave material on the slide so that the screws have a few more threads. Not sure what the proper...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    Thank you for the informative replies. Summary so far is that most find the RMR to be more durable. Is it worth the other sacrifices? Only the person using it (and those on his /her team) can answer. I may not have communicated this effectively in my original post, but I did not intend for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    Good to know and definitely a consideration. I'd hate to get the SRO and then roll with an Uncle Mikes!

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    Thank you for your educational reply. I figured the SRO would function about like you said. The other replies brought to mind something I'd forgotten about - dot size. I agree with @308pirate that the larger dot would be more appropriate for a handgun. However, the SRO does have the round...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    Duty = deputy sheriff. Which one do you like and why? Holster is a Safariland ALS. On a question not related to the poll, have you preferred to mill an existing slide specifically for your RDS or to purchase one already milled and use an adapter plate? Who do you recommend in either case...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns OWB holster recos

    Gents, Looking for your recommendations for two holsters. 1) OWB for 5" M and P with an SRO. MUST ride close to the body. Worn between 230 and 330. Concealability a bonus but not important. Retention a bonus but not a deal breaker. Currently looking at the T1C Mora. 2) OWB for duty...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Questions

    Gents, Thank you sincerely for the replies. @308pirate, I will gladly accept your offer of a DM once you get done with your comp. To dime myself out, I couldn't explain hit factor to you if you paid me a million dollars and the only "measure" I have available to me right now is the target and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Questions

    Thanks for the drills. I will definitely incorporate them. I should have been more clear that what I was asking for is something along the lines of "my department/agency budgets 1500 rounds for a transition. We spend the first 150 or so from the low ready shooting singles and looking for a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Questions

    RE the dot size, i have considered such things and am still considering. Regarding target size I'm shooting 7 inch circles at 20 yards. I'll have to check out the SRO before I commit to the RMR. I appreciate your reply.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Questions

    All, Two questions: 1. I am in the process of transitioning (no jokes) and what I've been doing for drills so far is one shot from the low ready from 20 yards. I've set a 1.5 second par time. I've got about 150 rounds down the pipe of my new PC M and P this way. What other drills are you...

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    Roger that. Specifically looking at the 5" 2.0 9mm with the crimson trace red dot. That is unless CT is no good. don't see that happening. What got me on this quest WAS, however, looking at the shield plus in 9mm. I was leaning toward the PC variant with the 4" bbl. Very close in size to...

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    The 2.0 was the last pistol I tried and all that you said above was the case. I agree with your take on the Spartan gig. I just want to shoot, I'll let my target speak for me. God bless America

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    Understand. I would like to try the walther and the cz. I had high hopes for the vp9 but didn't really dig it.

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    I hear you. I have been a Glock user for decades. Love them, but there's some other good guns out there, too. Sig has quite a following and I shot one the same day and it didn't blow my skirt up like the 2.0. Not bad, if I got stuck with one I'd be happy, but not as happy as the 2.0...
