the acro is apparently the new hotness in pistol sights.
i have tied a few others. Here are some tasting notes:
- vortex - too many of my vortex electronics have gone back for repairs for me to trust it for antisocial purposes
- Delta point pro. Works fine but requires stupid high back up irons on a glock, like too tall to work with half my glock holsters.
- RMR - battle proven, a little less easy to use than some other for me in terms of dot acquisition. The removing the sight to change the battery and then REzero is a massive pain in the ass. Can you say stripped screw? F$#k you trijicon.
- SRO - fantastic sight and it points very naturally for my grip / sight line. The round window is super intuitive. There is some well-documented durability issues (drop test anyone) that make this a competition only sight for me.
- Holosun - I have 2x 507c and a 507k. That 507k rides on a 365xl that is my primary carry gun now and the 507cs are on a glock 17 and 19. I actually prefer their sight picture to the Rmr. Have run them but not tortured them for the last year + I almost hate to say it, but they have been flawless. In the same timeframe I sent a vortex and and SRO back to be replace pad FWIW. throw in the lower costs and I am having a hard time not admitting that they are the best bang for the buck.
Bottom line is that I feel like the rmr has an edge over holosun for durability, but I don’t really know that is actually true. The price difference and slightly better ergonomics, pLuis the battery access definitely tilt me toward holosun.
