Title: Help me decide on a pistol red dot
Post by: nutntoit 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.

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.

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$~
