Thinking about sending a Glock 19 off to ATEI to get work done it would also be carried on my CCW. I have a training course coming up in March I would use it in. is it worth it or no?
For me no. I had about 1200 into my upper half with the RMR included and match grade threaded barrel. Nice set up. At the end of the day though, I did not really like it. I will say I probably did not give it enough of a chance. I found it was way to easy to loose the dot at night, which is when I would need it the most. I also hoped it would help me get tighter groups at longer range due to the ease of aiming, but found that I shot the same groups. Plus finding holsters and stuff is a pain.
With the amount I had invested in mine, I was left pretty unsatisfied.
I have $835 into mine and I am still liking it. My slide was milled for the Unity Tactical Atom mount with an RMR07 by L&M Precision. I think he sells complete Glock 19’s with RMR’s in the $1200 range. Check his website.
I have only 400-500 rounds through mine. I don’t have any issue finding the dot on presentation or followup shots and my speed and accuracy at 25y is greatly improved. Next one I do will get the RMR06.
There is a huge thread on LF. Lots of good info there from shooters with a greater degree of experience than me.
Yes It’s worth it I love mine! My early Gen3 two pin 19 all work done by MOD1
Yeah thanks for the input I am def stuck in the middle and this alone has swayed me against it. I want to try one out but still have yet to meet anyone with it done.
I can make arrangements for anyone in NorCal (707) to try mine out.
That would be cool I live in Fresno though, thanks for the offer though if I possibly make it up that way I may take you up on it!
It’s always best to try before you buy. While I’m sure RDS on pistols is the future I don’t think we have the ideal setups yet.
I have a one source tactical / tsd Glock 19 with RMR. I love it. However there is a learning curve. Took me about 4 months of range and dry fire to equal what I had with irons. Another 2 months to see improvement. I think it’s worth it.

There has been a little concern with the RMR and wet weather conditions. You can read of one such case by going here…

I haven’t any experience with the RMR so please don’t think I’m knocking it. Just thought to share the info. You can judge on your own if it’s service ready.
I have one on an M&P CORE with an M&P CORE perhaps I haven’t given it enough of a chance but I’m a fan of iron sights on pistols. Just my 2 cents, YMMV.
I’ve had similar issues with wet weather and a dual-illum. An additional issue I had with mine was that, in cold wet weather, the lens would fog up when shooting from a high compressed ready
I’m very happy with my G19 with atom mount and rm02.
I have 6 guns with RMRs on them and thousands of rounds in all condition’s
I run the adjustable 06/07 models while early models had issues my current ones have been good,
I have had no issues losing the dot in low to no light, with and without white light, and under NVG use.
while not perfect they are close
as for weather issues I have no problem in the wet or snow with mine anymore than I do with any other RDS sight…
its takes practice and reps like anything else…
Iam sold on them have been running them off and on since early 2000 when it was tasco optima 2000, then later as doctor optics, and now RMRs and T-1s
ATEI is my go too, Unity atom mount I have shot have been great as well… and my ALG 6 second mount
The only wash-out issue with RMRs that I know of is with the dual-illum models. I’ve yet to experience it with any of the battery powered ones
Damn it, now I don’t know what to do.
I have shot a few guns with RMR’s.
I like them, but I keep telling myself that nothing will change the fact that the gun has iron sights.
Maybe I have to man-up and get one.
Almost exactly my experience. 2000 dry fires and 500 rounds down range the investment and minuses weren’t enough. Ymmv.
should have done more live fire to be honest and at what distance, and size groups and what size dot
I think this looks interesting:
