Trijicon TR24 vs Aimpoint M4S Comparison

[Failure2Stop]

I didn't like the triangle in actual "dynamic use" as much as I thought I would. The brightess of the reticle kept drawing me to place the triangle on the rat rather than using the tip like I had it sighted in for. I believe this is something that I could overcome with additional practice/training.

I am not a fan of the triangle either.
I am waiting on Trijicon to release the TR24 with other reticle options.

I agree....

I think I would like that one better myself based on my very limited experience with dots vs triangles. But even with that, I think I would still prefer the M4S.

Depends on the dot size.

I like triangles and chevrons because you have the ability to use the point. With circles you can guestimate the 12 o'clock index of the circle and use that. Really depends on the dot size and the user if that works out.

I was actually able to turn the dot WAAYYY down (almost invisible) on the M4s and use it better than I could use the tip of the triangle when I wanted to be very "precise" (for me anyway).

Now that takes some time, not something that I could do while shooting on the move but while shooting at swimming vermin on the move at around 100 yards with the TR24, I could not get a good repeatable sight picture. I found myself having a similar problem shooting at the clay pigeons, that were not moving. I have yet to try the M4S on the lake monsters but I "feel" confident that I will do better than I did with the TR24.

I really don't know why that is. Since most of my formative years were with iron sights and a 6:00 hold, I was really expecting to be better with that setup than dot on the target, but I wasn't.

I've owned a TR24 with the triangle reticle for awhile now and I don't believe it's a scope that one can appreciate after a just a couple of outings. It definitely takes some time and training to get used to the triangle post. Also, reticle on these scopes is so bright that it is essential you dial it down. The bright glowing halo around the reticle conveys false information to the eye as to where the tip of the triangle really is. You've got to dial it down to where the triangle is nice and bright, but not glowing like a light bulb. Once I figured this out, my accuracy with the scope at long distances improved tremendously.

I was a little aprehensive about going with the triangle at first, but after using it for awhile now, I really like it. I use the tip of the triangle for longer range precision shooting and at closer ranges, I just center the triangle over COM and press the trigger. I have mine sighted in at 50 yds, so at closer ranges using the triangle as somewhat of a red dot works great and somewhat mitigates the height over bore issues you experience up close with a red dot. Of course when you're real close you still have some height over bore offset to contend with.
