Hoping for an updated RMR that has SRO battery compartment...maybe an enclosed emitter and/or a slightly bigger window.

Thinking it could be an updated rmr, but I am guessing a micro sized dot to fit the several new versions of smaller ccw pistols with rds mounts like the new shield, 365, hellcat, Glock 43x etc

It's a plastic RMR for 22s.
Maybe a new 1-6x LPV scope.

I’d actually be down if it isn’t expensive. I was thinking last night how I’d like a red dot .22 pistol.

I would really like a sealed emitter with an SRO type battery setup.
I’m not one to complain (much), but I’m getting really tired of manufacturers making these announcements. It’s a new product. Big deal. It’s what you’re supposed to do when you are in any business. Stop trying to make it sound like you’re MCing the second coming...

The Vortex and Sig optics are more than sufficient for this.

Remember a few years back they did this exact thing...and released a F'ing bow site with tritium in it.

I’d add on affordable, but then we wouldn’t be talking about Trijicon. And I love me some Trijicon.

I'm usually always disappointed by whatever Trijicon or Aimpoint unveils at Shot Show, so I expect this time to be no different.

Yes! That was quite the let down.

I so remember that. Major disappointment indeed. So I'm not holding my breath.
Funny, I don't give a $hit about these announcements because I'm not buying anything that hasn't been out for at least 6 months, if not a year before buying.
That helps you skip consumer funded beta testing and wasted ammunition.

I have heard a Gen 2 is coming as well.
An RMR with top loading battery. Hopefully a response to the Acro P-1.
Maybe they will come out with a budget line. Like the PRO.

The SRO is for your gaming gun. I'm looking to put a red do on a HD gun. Either rmr 2 or acro p1.

It's physically not possible to have a top load battery on a RMR. If you look at the SRO, they had to push the glass forward in order to create space for the battery.
Besides, top load battery create a new problem with people not using the proper size screw driver and not torquing the cap properly causing the dot to turn off during recoil. Ask me how I know.
The ACRO has to use a smaller battery than the normal CR2032 to keep its footprint small, causing it to have shorter than expected battery life compare to the competition.

Thanks brother and that there is a poor man’s Scorpion that I cobbled together with the help of Black Friday sales. Think I have about 1000.00 into that set up with the RMR included which was the most expensive thing. Shoots like a dream and the RMR really really makes it incredibly fun to shoot. I have a MK4 now what I shoot more often since I shoot suppressed 99% of the time.

Annnnd I have no regrets buying another Nightforce this holiday season.

Its a big circle jerk that started off with a Trijicon history lesson followed by a bunch of garbage . Like a cat dropping a dead bird off at a doorstep. I have a bunch of Trij stuff so I'm not a hater but after the NF and Vortex stuff...lol.

Don't blame them, perhaps they're just listening to some marketing agency on what to do.

Why. I see warmed-over Accupowers at a higher price point.
Wow, after all that the Trijicon products that peak my interest are the still RMR and maybe an LED ACOG if I have money to burn.

Lol, it's their company so it's their fault.
Besides they are the ones who think these products are actually appealing.

Oh I don't see the need for all the static. Personally I would like to get my hands on the non illuminated 1-4. That looks to be about perfect for my needs and preferences.

Except you are paying more than a Vortex Viper which is a 1-6, or a Burris that is a 1-5 or the Stiner all of which are illuminated and usually have throw levers as well for less money at most places. The new Trijicon offerings really aren’t good deals.

It's just all so confusing to me with the variety consisting of Credo, Huron, Accupoint, Accupower, and VCOG; and some of those product names are product lines with a variety of reticles, powers, tube diameters, batteries (or no batteries), focal planes, and unknown-to-me regarding clarity and feel.
Personally, I just bought a Vortex Razor 1-6x HD Gen II, a month ago and will be staying with that for at least a year. By then, I'll decide to change or stay with the Vortex; and by then, I'll have read some more reviews of all the brands and models out there.

I guess, I was excited to see what they were coming out with. I wanted a nice 2-10 for a for a hunting rifle but for the price they want for the features they offer they can keep it.

Get the current version with illumination, PA has them at blowout prices for $470. Really nice glass and decent optic for that price; I mean if you are set on buying a 1-4x Trijicon. I've had it and moved on awhile ago.

LOL, that's still 100% a reason to blame Trijicon.

Your suggestion is fine if you want illumination and are happy with their reticles. I haven’t found one that I like enough to make me spend my money. The closest I came was a Luepold VX5 with a duplex reticle. Honestly the Ascent looks like it checks my boxes. It’s light, a simple and uncluttered reticle and non illuminated. I may be one out of ten thousand and crazy as a retard in bath salt but I like it simple. Heck, I’ve been running irons with a smile. Come to think about it, that’s a good way to describe how I see the ascent, a 1-4 iron.
Okay I can see you want for that. If that's the case the Leupold Freedom series may be what you are looking for, still less than the Trijicon.
I jumped on a new accupoint 2.5x10 for $409 with green illumination. Then the company screwed up shipping so they took 10% and two dates shipping. Pretty screaming deal for what it is.
I'm sure the new offerings are improved versions, but for what they are selling the older models for its kind of nutts.

Trijicon has been such an innovative company in the optics market for a long time. They had the ACOG, The MRO, The RMR, and The SRO. The wisdom of this year's introductions has escaped me.
I was hoping for the RMR 3.
I'm actually quite interested in seeing how the 1-6 Credo will turn out. I mean, has no one checked the battery life on the green reticle? 198 hours on setting 7 out of 10, and I'm told that's daylight bright. For home defense you can just leave it on all the time and swap out the battery as needed.
If Trijicon can get the glass quality right, this scope would likely compare favorably to the Razor II HDE; in fact, I think it'd be the way to go for a combat oriented 1-6 LPVO. The Razor III looks like it'll be a winner for sure, but for my purposes I'd rather have lower weight and longer battery life than more zoom.

Change battery every 8 days? For an HD gun? Really?
I wanted to like the early Accupowers and ran a 1-4x24 in a carbine class - it worked ok but without bright illumination the small reticle started to get lost in the background for me. And all of these new Trijicon offerings look to be just rebranded Accupowers / Accupoints (I've owned a 1-4x of those as well) and don't excite me in the least.
For an optic in the <$1K price range I'll stick with Viper PST G2 1-6x and above that, NX-8. I'm interested in seeing the Razor III 1-10x to see if the juice is worth the squeeze. Trijicon will continue to get money for RMRs as there still isn't much out there that competes with it.
Change battery every 8 days? For an HD gun? Really?If setting 7 is actually daylight bright, then you could likely leave it at 5/6 indoors and get 2-4 weeks of battery life out of it.
The Razor and K16i both have less than 48 hours' worth of daytime illumination, so even 8-9 days is a major step up in comparison.

Side tangent about RMRs I’ll convey from my FFL buddies, You can buy some models on Amazon for less than dealer cost. Trijicon is dicks about MAP for somethings but then they go and undercut them selling to Amazon accounts.
The last RMR 01 I bought off amazon was 399. Dealer cost was around $430.

My Leupold 1-6 is motion activated. I never turn it off and the batteries last about a year.
