I'm seriously considering putting an RMR on my Glock 34. I've been really impressed by the various operators and instructors who are singing the praise of the RMR system, but I do have a number of questions, and before I put another $700 into my $600 Glock, I've got some questions I'd appreciate the collective wisdom here about.
(1) I'm looking at the Trijicon RMR with the 3.5 MOA. I've read articles by people using the 6 MOA RMR who have indicated that while it is great for quicker acquisition and shooting at targets out at some distance, for close in shooting, it is not very useful and may even be a bit of a hindrance. Thoughts on that?
(2) Everything I'm reading points to the Trijicon RMR as still being the best choice. True? Your experirences?
(3) How long did it take for the guys using the RMR to get used to how to operate it properly. If I understand what I'm studying correctly, and based on my limited use of one on some friend's handguns, the key is to get the pistol quickly up to your eye while keeping the target in focus and pressing the trigger the moment the dot is on target. Somewhat the same as using a red dot on a rifle. I know you are NOT supposed to look at or focus on the dot or the pistol's front post any longer. Just curious how long it took you to get a hang of it.
(4) I've read that the RMR is good for aging eyes. My eyes are actually quite good. I had laser surgery on my eyes and my right eye (dominant eye), is my distance eye, which has caused me a bit of problem trying to focus on that front post. Observations?
(5) What outfit would you recommend for a custom milling of my Glock frame? I understand that is the best way to go, to get the optic settle down as low as possible, with the installation of high suppressor sights, probably night sights for me.
(6) Holsters: I really like Bladetech products, but have also been looking closely at the holsters Safariland make primarily for LEO and military use that allow the user to use a Glock with the RMR and a tac light on it, thoughts on holsters? Suggestions?
And finally, any other thoughts or comments you might have? Thanks.
