[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3234745, member: 5316"] Some points to consider. Milling a slide is usually done to a particular optic. I believe the Sig Romeo 1 interchanges with the Delta Point Pro. Pick your optic carefully and have a backup plan in place. If you have any astigmatism the dot will appear larger than it is. For this reason I prefer my 3.25 MOA RMR over my 6.50 MOA RMR I prefer the RMR adjustable led over the other RMR models. RM06, RM07, and RM09 There are some reliability issues with 1st generation slide mounted RMRs that has been fixed in the 2nd generation. Some have experienced them, some have not. There are a few tricks to get a 1 generation working. I leave mine on all the time. Sometimes I might turn them down a notch. Battery life is in excess of a year. For carry, the only thing I would consider is a 2nd Generation RMR or possibly a SRO. I’d really like to try out an SRO with its slightly larger view. I’ve replaced a battery on my RMR and it went right back to zero. I think that’s less of an issue than people make it out to be. I may have gotten lucky. But once a year swap a battery and check it. Also take a look at the Holosun 507c. It uses the RMR/SRO mounting pattern. I’m running one currently on a G34 MOS. I’m really impressed with it. It is a 2 MOA dot with a 32 MOA circle.
