I have the RM04 (Dual-illuminated, 7 MOA dot) on my M&P Pro. Bowie Tactical did the milling and install on the slide.
I went with this unit because I did not want to deal with batteries or removing the optic when the battery needed to be replaced. I also wanted a dot that was small, yet easy to pick up quickly.
My only complaint is the bloom I get when shooting outdoors on a sunny day. It makes the dot huge! My best solutin has been to put a piece of opaque brown packing tape over the fiber optic band to bring the dot back to normal size and shape.
I have been extremely pleased with this unit for my needs.

Little of both. The fiber model and the adjustable RMR (LED).Originally Posted by chapperjoe

slight thread jack--what kind of work is involved in getting this kind of setup. I have a terrible time indoors in low light with my stock sights and after using a red-dot on my AR, I don't care if it pushes me out of IDPA legal or into IPSC open--those things are handy!

I had one source tactical do the work including suppressor sights. I am using the 8 moa (that's the dot they recommend) battery powered, non adjustable RMR.

I have three M&Ps, and before that, 3 glocks setup with RM02s. Definitely the 8 MOA dot. The dual ilum models are not bright enough when using a weapon light for me. And the RMRs have such a great auto- brightness feature that the adjustable models just add more complexity and less strength in the hood. I would also consider the design elements of the LED model. The hood has raised wings to which help prevent damage in an impact scenario. If you guys want a cheaper, better, faster place to get work done, contact Tony Smith of Sunset, LA @ basmith67 (at) aol.com. Tell him Trent sent you. I have had two 1ST guns, I much prefer Tonys work. He mills the pocket very tight, so there is no movement or transfer of energy to the screws. He also milled glock dovetails for ameriglo sights.
And secret city for holsters. Tony is a great dude.
