He did approve of the Holosun SCS MOS auto brightness if I remember correctly! Have to say, my new SCS 320 is absolutely phenomenal. Fully enclosed (which is a requirement for me) but quite thin, solar charging and non replaceable lithium ion battery, and great auto brightness and clarity. Optional circle dot as well. They say the battery will last at least 10 years but the Sig rep said conceivably much longer as they never fully charge the battery with the solar so it will last a very long time.
"My Brother in Christ, there's slide releases." All in all, a great step forward for the RMR as a "system", but as you said the price of admission is what it is. For those that want it it's there.
Thanks for another great review! However, unlike Aaron, I broke my RMR HD - but that’s not the end of the story. Long story short, there’s a reason to spend a fair amount on a Reflex sight and Trijicon’s warranty and service department really help add value to the equation. In my case, I’d been using a screwdriver to change the top-replaceable battery, when the screwdriver slipped and broke the small emitter window. I told Trijicon what happened and, after examining my new and broken RMR HD (which, by the way, still “worked”), they offered to replace the broken unit with a new one. I could not ask for more. THIS is why I’ll buy another one when the time comes.

Great review. This is the first video from Sage Dynamics that I have seen, and I like the content. I watch 2nd amendment content almost exclusively and I'm impressed by the production quality of the video and the costs you put into it; 2k rounds of ammo, scuffing up your new RMR, ect. I'm glad that I found your channel and now wonder what I've been missing. Guess I know what I'll be binge watching this weekend... BTW there is a white powdery substance under your right nostril at the 16:43-16:44 mark. I was waiting for you to cut into a slow motion segment (kind of like Kentucky Ballistics doing his "Watermelon Time") with you you making a overly exaggerated effort of wiping off your nose before clearing you sinuses, followed by a super fast paced cardio routine, laps around the range, or burpees, lol. Guess that might not have fit in with the tone of the review, but it definitely played in my ADHD riddled head. I've subscribed, shared and cut on the notification bells. Anyways thanks for the video and keep up the good work!
Is there a pistol compatibility list out yet to ensure you don't encounter the breech overhang issue? I couldn't find one after a cursory glance at Trijicon's website
Just bought and SRO wish I would’ve seen this before. I actually mounted it on a 509cc edge xl just like the one you use. Not sure if I should even shoot it since it hangs over port 😢. The fact that nothing happened in your testing gives me hope but I can see why it’s not recommended. Great video, valuable information like always 🤙🏽
I recently had the opportunity to see two Glocks at my local gun store that the owners had dropped on hard surfaces, concrete or ceramic tiles. One was a Glock 41 that fell directly on the magazine release button which resulted in a broken part inside. The button either broke or the magazine release button spring, so that the button no longer sits firmly on the pistol frame. The other model was a Glock 19X that was dropped on a lanyard loop that cracked leaving a few millimeters of the round ring missing... My question here is: what guns have you had the chance to see that have been noticeably damaged by being dropped on a hard surface, and do you think metal guns (steel or aluminum) hold up better than those with polymer bodies? Thanks.
I hope the next administration can get inflation down and the economy rolling. Then maybe we could get these down into the $550 range, which is the upper limit of my budget for optics. It hurt paying almost as much as my pistol cost (Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS =Blue Label) on the RMR 02 that I currently have. This new one will cost more than a good sale price on a Shadow Systems. It's always been said that you should spend 2-3 times what your bolt gun cost on quality glass, but dang prices on everything are insane now.
Well, no surprises here. I do own a couple of RMR s first GEN and I have had no issues in about 10 years now at least eight not sure when I got them . By all means this will be the next one that I buy. . Don't care for the toaster on top of my handgun to each their own .now like you said, what's the purpose or what conditions are you using it for? I know for a fact I on one of my hand guns that has an RMR on it battery life was easily five years ... thanks for the video. Great review as usual.
I see you've got an AEMS on your Spear LT: I know your review was very positive, if you were to choose between the AEMS and an E/XPS-3 for civilian use, what do you think would make the most sense?
I'm not Aaron but have both. The auto on on the AEMS makes it a no brainer pick over the EXPS for a home defense rifle. You won't remember to turn on the optic after getting waken up in the middle of the night. I'm guessing the EXPS is more durable which might make it a better option for other purposes.
I work in the snow, so I’m a fan of the closed emitter. It may be just my own mental block, but I can’t get behind the mounting system for the RCR, it eeks me out.
i figured that you told them to put that rib on the optic once i saw it.. i remembered your rmr having the white out on it in class and was like guess they talked to aaron haha.
Would this have issues sitting on a Bul Armory SAS II 4.25 Tac Pro? It comes with rmr mount built in in front of the iron sights. Looks like it may block ejection.
Can anyone comment on safariland ALS holster compatability with these? I know there were problems with the SRO not working on most guns because it interefered with the ALS hood. I suspect this may have the same issues but would love to hear someone speak from experience.
What’s the best kind of pistol optic for someone with a astigmatism??I have a couple different ones and there all red ones with 2-3 moa dots and they all have the starburst glare thing going on. I’ve herd to go with the green dot in the 32moa that there better for a astigmatism??
Since you test confirmation of a bag at 25 yards have you found some pistols that don't perform well from a bag compared to others? I don't mean direct bag contact.
Not sure if your comment is serious or if it's a meme, but I'll treat it like a legit comment: No, putting the battery forward of the optic in this particular case is not going to solve the problem. And if your having a tough time mentally processing the concept, just imagine the optic glass is where the battery is, and now imagine the battery compartment where the optic hangs off. So not a solution. The real solution is to make sure whoever milled the slide, mills the optic cut further back towards the irons, and not to the front closer to the ejection port.
