RMR on pistols?

[mysak]

Thinking about sending a Glock 19 off to ATEI to get work done it would also be carried on my CCW. I have a training course coming up in March I would use it in. is it worth it or no?

For me no. I had about 1200 into my upper half with the RMR included and match grade threaded barrel. Nice set up. At the end of the day though, I did not really like it. I will say I probably did not give it enough of a chance. I found it was way to easy to loose the dot at night, which is when I would need it the most. I also hoped it would help me get tighter groups at longer range due to the ease of aiming, but found that I shot the same groups. Plus finding holsters and stuff is a pain.

With the amount I had invested in mine, I was left pretty unsatisfied.

I have $835 into mine and I am still liking it. My slide was milled for the Unity Tactical Atom mount with an RMR07 by L&M Precision. I think he sells complete Glock 19's with RMR's in the $1200 range. Check his website.

I have only 400-500 rounds through mine. I don't have any issue finding the dot on presentation or followup shots and my speed and accuracy at 25y is greatly improved. Next one I do will get the RMR06.

There is a huge thread on LF. Lots of good info there from shooters with a greater degree of experience than me.

Yes It's worth it I love mine! My early Gen3 two pin 19 all work done by MOD1

Yeah thanks for the input I am def stuck in the middle and this alone has swayed me against it. I want to try one out but still have yet to meet anyone with it done.

I can make arrangements for anyone in NorCal (707) to try mine out.

That would be cool I live in Fresno though, thanks for the offer though if I possibly make it up that way I may take you up on it!

It's always best to try before you buy. While I'm sure RDS on pistols is the future I don't think we have the ideal setups yet.

I have a one source tactical / tsd Glock 19 with RMR. I love it. However there is a learning curve. Took me about 4 months of range and dry fire to equal what I had with irons. Another 2 months to see improvement. I think it's worth it.

There has been a little concern with the RMR and wet weather conditions. You can read of one such case by going here...

I haven't any experience with the RMR so please don't think I'm knocking it. Just thought to share the info. You can judge on your own if it's service ready.
