New to the red dot optics game...

[cskiles]

I have a couple Steiner MPS and I love em.

Do you, by any chance, have an optic ready VP9? If so, I have a Holosun SCS VP9 that will attach right to your slide. You're welcome to it... It'll let you know if red dots are for you... but this ones green. Should be better with your eyes.

Unfortunately I do not, the offer is much appreciated though! I was looking at the Steiner MPS, the HOLOSUN 509T and the ACRO P-2. I am putting this optic on my FN 509 compact tactical and the ACRO looks to be pretty large.

I have a Holosun 508T Green on my FN 509C for a little smaller optic. 508 has a titanium housing with solar cell on top. It is also flat instead of curved on top.

Steiner are a little large too. The TRijicon RCR is smaller. Here’s an mps

The eye astigmatism is real talk!

Nothing like a shotgun pattern spread instead of a crisp 3.5 MOA dot lmao!

Do any of you use a closed type optic sight, similar to this, and if so, what are your thoughts? : https://www.trijicon.com/products/subcategory/trijicon-rcr-reflex-sight

I'm transitioning everything to the Aimpoint Acro P2, and now COA.

Both superior to the RCR in my opinion. Bought an RCR. Immediately sent it back sue to distortion.

I have two questions for any of you that are familiar with or currently run a red dot pistol optic on the EDC.

1.) If you get an optic with the 'shake awake" feature, what keep it from coming on when you are driving and walking? Am I missing something?
2.) Can anyone point me to a thread or article on sighting in a red dot optic?

I am looking at getting either a HOLOsun 507K X2 a Trijicon RMR Type 2, or a Trijicon SRO.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

My optic is Clap on Clap off.............The clapper.

I just ordered a STEINER MPS (and mounting plate for my FN). I'll let you know how it turns out. Lots of good information on this thread/site. I really like the look of the AIMPOINT options that ReservoirDawg10 gave me, I may try one of those on one of my other pistols if I like shooting the enclosed emitter Steiner.

Remember to shoot both eyes open. Stay target focused.
