Help me decide on a pistol red dot
« on: December 30, 2019, 09:15:56 PM »
I received a few Cabela’s gift cards for Christmas and figured it would be a good time to put a red dot on my MOS Glock. Between Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops websites I have found 3 contenders. After doing in depth research on each I still can’t decide.
Here are the options
1. Trijicon Type 2 RMR $500
2. Leupold Deltapoint Pro $400
3. Holosun 507c $300

Each have their pros and cons. The RMR seems to be the gold standard and the most durable, however is the most expensive. I only have $300 in gift cards so I need some opinions on if it’s worth spending more to get one of the more expensive options or if the Holosun is going to be good in the long run and I should just pick that one up with 0 out of pocket.

The Holosun 507c is an amazing red dot, especially for the price it comes in at.  I would not hesitate at all to purchase another one.  Mine has been tossed, dropped in mud, and used to rack my slide, and it's holding up great.  The battery plus solar and the option for circle or just dot made it a no brainer for me.  2nd choice would be the rmr.

Get the trijicon. It has the best resale if you don’t like it. I have an rmr on two of my pistols (one is a glock mos) and love them. I paid way less than 500 though...

Rm06 has the 3.25 dot.
Won't be disappointed... I'd get the type 2 to avoid the flickering issue with the type 1. However you can easily fix the flickering on the type 1. Plenty of YouTube vids on how to. They can be had for around 320$~

I have 2 507c's and wouldn't hesitate to own a 3rd.

I have a couple of the delta points and have zero complaints. One of them is on the g40 with the 7.5 moa triangle. It’s great at that 25-50 yard range.
