Trijicon RMR $282 TYD

First off, I am a complete optics noob, so forgive me if I am way off base here. I have a Vortex SPARC II on a 9mm SBR. Absolutely hate the thing. Part of my problem is lack of any magnification and old eyes trying to get back on target. Will this RMR be a better option or is it the same style/concept as the Vortex? More of a lateral move?

Same concept as its a zero magnification optic. Comparing the SPARC and the RMR is like comparing the Aimpoint PRO to the EOTECH. You'll have more field of view since you aren't focusing down a tube.

The Type 1 was specifically designed for rifle use and did see some folks reporting flickering of the red dot under recoil/slide operation during semi-auto pistol use. The Type 2 was specifically designed with pistol use in mind. Honestly, at this price I would be a buyer anyway even if I intended to use the RMR on a semi-auto pistol.....remembering the reported "flicker" issues with Type 1 sights were/are a relatively low percentage of actual users.

Here is a link that details the technical differences in Type 1 vs. Type 2 construction.

It looks like this is an RM01 Type 1? So the only illumination is via battery (no fiber or tritium)? The ad on Cabellas seems to show descriptions for multiple models.

additional 10% plus another $10 if you click through https://www.activejunky.com/invite/215050 to get to cabelas. So that's almost another $40 off if you sign up and click through.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking at them, but holding off due to the bottom loading battery. At this price I'll have to get one.
