Latest Opinions on the Trijicon SRO

[Schootz]

The SRO has been out a while now and I was wondering if anyone here is using it on their handgun and what they think of it.

Lot of reviews on brianenos forums. Lot of competitors trying them out. A buddy of mine switched from a deltapoint to the SRO. He seems to like it.

My understanding is it's not duty rated

Like all red dot pistol optics, there are some failures, but they have overall been holding up well. Some early ones have had the adjustments move, and I Sharpie my windage and elevation adjustments to watch this. Make sure you tighten the battery cap vigorously!

So it's good for duty use rite?

I've only got 1,100 rounds through mine, but it has been very good so far.

I attached mine using the C&H Precision mounting plate. I found it interesting that they don't recommend using thread locker. Instead, they recommend some clear nail polish on the top of the screw heads. That's what I did and it has held perfectly, so far. I'm watching it closely. Fortunately, I'm not using this for duty.

With red dot pistol optics, there are optics that are "duty tough," there are optics that hold up to extended round count use, and there are optics that allow a high level of technical shooting. Unfortunately, it is a situation of pick any two, but not all three positive attributes.

It may not be from shoulder hight like holding up. But maybe takes a fall down the steps, of a ledge/raised platform. Also knocking into things and falling on it.
