Check out riflegear.com , that’s where I got my mounting plate (and RMRcc). They do have some diff plates if i remember correctly.Ive been wanting an rmr for my vp9L, but in typical HK fashion the mounting plates are made from unobtanium.
Tried out a friends a couple weeks ago and it sold me on the sight
Thanks, shows OOS there too. Demand is higher than supply until HK sends another shipmentCheck out riflegear.com , that’s where I got my mounting plate (and RMRcc). They do have some diff plates if i remember correctly.
Leave it on when you’re carrying it (if you’re worried about battery life). I don’t know anybody with two brain cells left that would carry an RMR type and not have it powered up before stepping outside. That’s kind of a ridiculous reason.
In Soviet North Korea,If I know NES there will be a skinflint buying surplus North Korea batteries then posting about a useless RDS that burns thru batteries.
... just get one with shake awake ...
In short, nothing that a couple thousand repetitions won't cure. I'm sold on RDS pistols at this point, just need to put the time in to make it work properly. And now I need more holsters...
Yeah, good call. I haven't tried around a barricade yet. I'm assuming at this point most holster manufacturers have RDS versions?Don't forget to do a few thousand reps strong and weak hand, around barricades, in different positions. Makes a huge difference
You know, when I was briefly considering leupold and holosun, I thought shake awake sounded like a good feature. But, then I realized I probably never sat still long enough for that to work. It didn't take much for the leupold to turn back on. Then I said to myself, if this is on my nightstand, would I want some chinese red dot that was off and hoped like hell it would shake awake at 0300? Then I realized I was overthinking again, and just ordered the Trijicon.That, or just get one with shake awake etc.... so it only turns off if no motion for like 20 minutes....
As the saying goes in the Pentagon, no one ever got fired for purchasing Trijicon...You know, when I was briefly considering leupold and holosun, I thought shake awake sounded like a good feature.

That is a very good group. Bullseye league group if it was 50 feet without a rest. Nice work.After several years of considering mounting a red dot on a pistol I did it. About 6 months ago I put a Leupold delta point pro on my Sig P320 X5 Legion. It has taken me a while to get used to using the red dot and finally see the benefit of the cost. This is a group I shot at 50 feet shooting at a moderate speed. I know I can tighten that group up with more practice but I am happy so far. View attachment 447814
Left my m68 on for over a year in Iraq on my second deployment when we were issued them. I believe those are stated to have Batley life of 8 years.Leave it on when you’re carrying it (if you’re worried about battery life). I don’t know anybody with two brain cells left that would carry an RMR type and not have it powered up before stepping outside. That’s kind of a ridiculous reason.
2 months? The military m68 lasts 8 years.it does not turn automatically - it never turns off as it senses the movement while you walk. and drains the battery.
i had a holosun on a rifle - and when it was left on by mistake it drained battery in 2 months. so, it is not 'years'. but, whatever.
If your using a Leopold with 600 hour battery life you just need a better one. Many quality optics will get battery life in years not months.ok, i will try again.
after a claim that anyone with brains will only carry an RDS turned on - i gave here the exact durations of time of how long a specific Leupold DPP RDS shown on a picture and a topic of this thread will remain lit. it is a 1000 hrs - and i know from my DPP - it is a bit on an enthusiastic side. 600 hrs is more like it, as i am on a third battery now with it.
so i will say, again - a said brainiac with a DPP kept turned on permanently in a month or 2 of carrying it will draw it and will have a quite high probability of seeing no dot.
trijicon claims 3 years on SRO - and i will believe it when i will see it. from what i have heard so far from people who actually compete with it and transitioned to it from DPP - it is not that much different battery life wise from DPP when used at daylight.
My latest was one on my Stormtrooper Glock, which is having ejection issues. (P80 in white. Black components. Cool look.)
