Did your weekend match go as well as mine?
On stage 3 or 4, first shot dead on and dot disappears before my eyes. Second shot hits a non-threat. Third shot is on just ghost-ringing it, then finished the rest of the stage with my hard sights; irons were dead on, exactly as If drifted them months ago. Train with your hard sights, ya’ll.
MD tells me to go change batteries quickly and he’ll give me a reshoot.
I have the battery door open, struggling to get it out, when I notice what happened. Went back to the bay and showed another shooter and he helped me find the lens. Used my backup gun to finish the match.
Primary Arms RS-10R, this is the second one I’ve broke (first was electronic failure) and I currently own two: one RMA and one purchased separately. Going to ask them if I can return both for store credit and get an RMR Type 2, HD, 507 Comp, or Vortex Defender XL. I’m undecided. I need to measure the deck heights.

Atibal STD v2
Really digging this new Atibal STD v2 enclosed dot on my Echelon. Such a great window, and really well made!

Just bolted this 407 Comp Gold Dot onto my G21 … the gold is so easy to pick up and great contrast
Waiting on new sights for 1/3 co-witness

14.5 Block II glass
I have a 14.5" Block II-ish build complete except for the optic. I am genuinely torn between three options: TA02 ACOG, Elcan 1-4x, or the Vortex Razor 1-6. I'm hoping to hear from those who have owned one or the other and can offer some useful points of comparison. I've watched a ton of YouTube videos and tried to do as much reading on here as I could prior to this post.
I've tried to create a list of pros and cons (as I see them) for each optic set up below. Please feel free to mention if I have forgotten anything.
- TA02 ACOG
- +Good battery life
- +Great durability
- +Extremely familiar
- +Simple reticle
- -Tight eye relief
- -No adjustable diopter (I do have an astigmatism)
- Elcan Specter 1-4x
- -Limited warranty support
- -No adjustable diopter
- -No prior experience
- Vortex Razor
- -Limited battery life (as I understand it)
- +Adjustable diopter
- +Limited prior experience
This build is intended to be a very general purpose set up. It will be suppressed (OCL Polo K) and primarily feed on M193. I'm not overly concerned with clone correctness but more function over vibes/aesthetics.
Please feel free to comment the good, the bad, and the ugly. I welcome all feedback and comments as I'm a big believer in leveraging the wisdom, knowledge, and experiences of others to make informed decisions. Thank you all!

MPS on a P10c
Out of my RMR, RMR HD, 507k, the MPS is my favorite. Standard height night sights work just at the bottom edge of the window.

Help with my AIMPOINT
Any guesses to how these “smudges” got inside the front lens of my AIMPOINT CompM5 2MOA?
