It took me a while to be able to use a red dot quickly. A friend of mine said "Stop focusing on the dot like it's your front sight. Focus on the target." Which is of course the opposite of what you're taught with irons. It all fell into place after that.
Good idea. I focus on the dot also.
"I got a Mecanik on Muh Canik"
*Sets reminder for 6 year checkup.*
Haha! See you then!
I began putting red dots on my pistols over 10 years ago. The first was with just a CO2 pellet gun but the ability to hit pop cans at 50yds made me a believer. I started putting red dots on all my pistols, selling the ones that were not milled and buying only new ones that were optics ready. I have several auto-adjust microdots similar to the MeCanik. They do a fine job in most lighting conditions but fail when shooting from a very dimly lighted area into a well lighted area where the dot is too dim to be usable. I recently tried the Holson 507K and 407K models and was pleased to discover that a brightness suitable for full sun also is usable in dim light. This is especially true of the 507K with the smaller dot. This means a single setting that is useable in all lighting situations for defensive use including shooting from dark areas into brightly lighted areas. Unfortunately, the Holosuns have a unique footprint that cannot be used on Springfield Hellcats without modifying the slide or using a plate.
Yes, a downfall of auto-adjusters is when the dot is in one lighting condition and your target is in another lighting condition.
I have the Rival Darkside with M01 optic and it's a tack driver. The optic is flawless so far and the accuracy is fantastic. My first Canik (TP9SFX) came with the Vortex Venom, and that is a decent optic, but I had to send it back for replacement after less than 6 months and probably less than 500 rounds. It was a bit disappointing to say the least. Fortunately, Vortex has a lifetime guarantee and they replaced it no questions asked. Get the Canik and you will not be disappointed!!!
I installed mo1 on my mc9. Could not get plate to fit. Is it ok to shoot without a base plate ?
best red dot "in my personal opinion" is the Holosun 507c--GN-X2, Only because of the 32MOA outer circle that'll shows you when your off target and what direction you need to go, PERFECT for getting use to your first red dot. BIGGEST draw back is it's $350 price tag, esp for new ted dot owners
That would be a great suggestion in the Red Dot Considerations article: www.gbgunsdepot.com/post/pistol-red-dot-considerations
You didn't talk about how Canik had a base plate that can be mounted to support that sight. The plate comes with a rear iron sight that's part of the plate. These sights are just perfect for any canik.
Those are gun details that I DID talk about in the gun video. Those video is about the optic.
I have 3 of the mecanik Mo1 I love them a lot they work excellent
Sig Romeo that came on an RX320 was my worst experience. Would not stop flickering. My Holosuns have been great and for some reason look the most “crisp” to my eye. Red dots are SUPER subjective IMO and people just need to find what suits them best.
Looks great.
I've had good experiences with the Vortex Venom.
Mixed with the Swamp fox Sentinel and Burris fast fire 3.
And poor with the Holosun 507k and Sig Romeo Zero.
If you want any input or perspective on Red dots in a desert climate I'd be happy to help. I know we've discussed a little through the comments section on some issues I've come across before
I just had a Romeo Zero die (I believe battery). It's one of the reasons I'm not big on dots, but I don't deny how much easier they make shooting.
@@GBGuns would you consider a video or article etc on the brightest red dots? That would be very useful.
I reached out to the various brands but was told they couldn't give me any information on the LED output levels etc. I don't personally have the budget to buy a lot of brands and measure their output or just visually compare. But most wash out here due to the sun
@@jamesR1990 it's hard to judge because it's relative. Ambient light and your eye are more important than any rating. Being in Oregon they're almost always plenty bright if not too bright, in Arizona it might be different, plus there's persona preference. Brighter is easier to spot but might obscure small targets (good for defense) dimmer is harder to spot but better for making tight groups.
i have been curious about the canik red dots. i personally like the auto brightness adjusting red dots. in my experience, it is always at the right brightness to see the dot in almost all conditions, without having to adjust it manually.
I love the auto adjust function on my Shield RMS 👍🏻
I too have favored auto-adjust dots until recently. I have a Swampfox Sentinel, Riton MRPD2 and Crimson Trace MRad Pro microdots. They all do a wonderful job in in almost all lighting conditions but fail badly when shooting from a location with very dim light into a well lighted area. The dot is too dim to pick up and that's when you need back up irons. Manufacturers would do better to adjust their brightness curves to provide a brighter dot in low light conditions. Having discovered that issue I gave the Holosuns 507/407K series a try. I was surprised to find a brightness setting that worked well in full sun but was still serviceable in very dim light. Not optimal but comfortablely serviceable. For defensive use the dot needs to be ready to go 24/7 in any lighting without the need to turn on or make any adjustments. The Holosuns do that.
I mounted one on my MC9. Battery didn't last 6 months. Otherwise its fantastic.
I have the same setup I'm surprised that more people don't buy this micro Red Dot there is a great review by the honest Marksman on this same micro Dot and where he has compared it to the hollow sons the 407 and the 507 and claims that this microdot self-adjusting light works better than the hollow sounds and who can complain about a 6-year battery life that's why I bought this particular one since it was made by the same company as the gun.
As a defensive shooter auto-adjust dots are not my preference. We did an excellent exercise at Thunder Ranch to help us understand that.
Always looking forward to ur reviews
Excellent job brother
Love your content, you review everything I love !
I am not a fan of a dot only I prefer a dot and a circle. So, anything Holoson. 507K/C or the 508 are my favorites, can't go wrong. I had a Romeo Zero and learned quickly it was garbage,
Great input!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 From what you are showing, that it's an excellent quality RDO. What about the base plate to install it on the handgun?
Canik comes with a base plate for this type setup. Even has iron sights on it. Canik also comes stock with other base plates for numerous other red dots.
I couldn't get my base plate to fit from mo1 on my mc9
Looks like you have to take the red dot off to change the battery.
THX Graham as Always!!
I bought one. 4 range visits and it failed. Dot went out. Removed the dot and it came back on. put it back on the gun and it went out again. Changed battery and same results. Not impressed with century's return policy either. I have Holosuns with multiple years of carry and abuse with no issues. get a Holosun.
Did it ever fix?
Hi Graham. Finally went out to the range with the Mecanik red dot sights. I must admit that the transition from iron sights to optics was pretty much easy at least for me and the result was amazing. Its much easier to shoot with red dots. Apart from mecanik, I'll appreciate it if you could advise what red dots are compatible with the Canik elite combat TP 9 series as I'm interested to buy one more
I don't know what plates ship with those guns these days, check the product web page.
The Mecanik MO1 fits the Elite Sc
And thanks for the excellent review
Looking forward to that 6 year review lol
Great for on the range but not much, for any Red Dot, for EDC, IMHO, when/if presented with a REAL confrontation when 10yds or less is the threat.
At that range you hardly need sights. My only complaint about this for defensive use is the auto brightness
My battery only lasted 8 months.
According to canik you can mount mo1 optic directly to mete mc9. No base plate or spacer needed. So I did it. Canik couldn't find me one anyway. This only for mete mo1 and mc9.
I just put the mecanik mo1 . It hits where put it.
Just got my Rival Dark Side. I was looking for a video on the installation of the Mecanik MO1 sight, mine came with the Rival in a kit, but cannot find one. The thin metal plate in the plastic bag that is next to the sight cover on your table, is that used or not? Did you use Loctite on the screws? This will be my first firearm with a red dot sight, so I have no prior experience with the install.
Videos showing such a thing are forbidden on TH-cam. I used the plate that matched the optic. Locktite is a good idea.
Dam YT! Been waiting for this and did not get the notification. Will you be doing a review on the MO2 and then a comparison? Been looking at these to go with my DarkSide don't know how I feel about the bigger MO2.
Maybe you didn't get the notification because I uploaded this video two months ago (Patrons get first views). I don't know if we'll get an MO2, but it's tempting.
Well this is rad.
Thanks for the video
Ty sir
Hi there! Just recently bought a mecanik 2 MOA red dot sight. Haven't taken it to the range yet but my biggest gripe about this dot is that the windage and elevation adjustments have no tactile click, so you can't use math and known MOA clicks to adjust to get your dot sighted in. You have to just twist some and say "hum, that seems about right . Need some advise on that please
That is true, and were it meant for a rifle or 100 yards it would be really annoying, fortunately it's just a pistol dot so you're likely zeroing somewhere between 7-15 yards. It's easy, just turn it until it's where you want it. To save time I usually get it just above the front sight before hitting the range, then it's just minor adjustments once you live fire.
@@GBGuns thanks Graham. I'll follow your advice and send my feedback once I hit the range.
Clicks are nice, and a must on a scope, especially for those who dial for distance (versus reticle hold), but on a red dot that will be zero'd once and left I don't think they're really necessary.
@@GBGuns that almost solves my curiousity. The red dot is in the center of the sight when I unboxed it. You've asked me to go low and place it just above the front sight before the live fire session to save time and ammo at the range. Can you be a bit more specific on that as I'm a bit confused
Centered in the window doesn't mean it'll be in line with the gun. Centering the dot just above the front sight (when looking through the irons) will save you time, like bore-sightibg a scope. Another method is to use one of those laser rounds if you have one. When you hit the range start close (like 5 yards) and work your way back to where you want to be
Holy $hit, lol. it tells me Mar 23, 2022. Wow. Great review!
I published it today, but it was uploaded in January
Did this bolt direct to the Rival with no plates ?
Canik has a plate just for this sight. Has a rear iron sight attached. Very cool design to run both dot and iron. Canik comes with 4 base plates out the box with each gun to attach any red dot you want.
It’s 2024 is the battery still working?
Yes! Thanks for checking in
So uh...2 years maybe 3 hows the battery life been XD. i just picked one up for my tp9 SC elite.
It was still going last time I checked about a month ago
How is it doing 2 years out, the battery that is?
Hi, do you know if it firs on the mete SFT?
Did you ever figure this out?
Just came across this dot today! I love the look and functions from what I’ve read so far! Does this cowitness 100% ? Or 1/3etc. I’m looking for something for my shield plus or version. Had it narrowed down to a shield smsc but this things really got me second guessing. On the back of this sight are the number a sticker or os that part of the sight? Seems like the big white numbers would be a distraction
Cowitnessing will depend on your mounting setup and existing sights.
Are you using the mounting plate with the rear sight it looks? If so how’s the cowitness?
Hi Graham. Does it still hold zero well?
Must remove to install battery throwing off your zero
And how often are you changing your battery versus how often do you check zero?
How did you get your rear iron sights mounted with the MO1
Super excited to shoot my Darkside Rival. I got the one with the Mecanik with it (not installed) no worries ill do it myself😊. I love Caniks
Thanks for your video, friend.
Enjoy!
Hi!
Thanks for this detailed review on mecanik MO1 micro red dot site.
After watching your review i bought this MO1 the very next day for my TP9 Sub Elite Executive.
I have zeroed the dot at 15 yards as well the same day around 4:00 pm when the sun was still bright.
To see its functionality in low light, I checked it on my garden and surprisingly the dot didn't appeared.... But when I moved the red dot right underneath the light, it popped on the sight glass. Its auto brightness function is working as the dot intensity changes (from bright to dim) as I moved away from the light.
Could you please shed some light on this issue?
I mean is it normal for auto brightness adjusting red dots or is there a fault in my red dot sight?
That is a drawback of auto-adjust dots, for some the "bright" can be too bright or "dim" too dim.
@@GBGuns thank you so much for the prompt reply Baates! Appreciate ur concern.
So it means I have to live with this draw back as I really love both of them i.e. sub elite as well as mecanik red dot.
Fortunately I have installed O light baldar mini 2 as well so for the night I will use this laser and in day light when laser doesn't work I will use red dot! Lol
Thanks again mate!
Take care
Hello
A very stupid question. Are all red dot sights RMR produced in China?
I thought some were produced in the US
Some are made in the US, some in Europe, but most are from China
Soo... how's it holding up still
Where can you buy at?
Will it fit the mete and can you mount it to the frame instead of using the plate
Likely, it's the same footprint as the RMSC Shield
@@GBGuns Thanks just bought one quick response haha
hows the dots life so far?
So far so good! We shot it again a week or so ago, still going.
So, any plans to own your own land ?
the mecanik .7mm interface plate?
What plate did you use to mount it. Does it have the same footprint as an rmr
I just use the plate that fits. All the plates were included with the gun.
Does it co wotness?
Where can I buy this sight!?!? I can’t find it in stock anywhere.
I just searched "MeCanik" I might have a link in the article, don't recall
Ok, thanks
So...its been 1 yr....is the red dot still functiong as it should?
Yes
Can we turn that red dot off ??
Can you compare this to the swampfox sentinel? If you need a sentinel I will send you one
What is there really to compare with red dots that isn't either a spec or a personal preference?
True, but that argument nullifies all comparisons.
@@GBGuns can you blame a guy for want more GB guns videos ?
@@dman2007 haha, thanks. We've got over 1,100 videos already! I was just wondering what you would want compared. I try to be objective as possible, and red dot selection really comes down to specs and personal preference.
What foot print is the is optic? RMR, Delta Point Pro or proprietary ?
Micro like the Shield
@@GBGuns Thanks!
What mount did you use for it
I don't remember, I just tried them until it fit.
best red dot for the canik MC9?
That's a personal preference
Hopefully they get rid of the white lettering on the back. Seems like it would be a distraction
I would never buy this optic for several reasons. The location of the battery compartment on the bottom means you have to remove the optic to change the battery and then reinstall it and most likely re-zero it as well. The open battery compartment on the bottom also means the internals of the optic are susceptible to the elements. I don't like the auto-brightness feature at all. The brightness that the optic selects may not be the brightness that I want based on my eyesight. The problem is that there is no option for the user to adjust the brightness, you have to use the brightness level the optic selects. On a minor note, there are no MOA markings for the adjustment screws so when you make an adjustment you have no idea how much of an adjustment you're making until you fire a few test shots. Canik seems to be turning out some really good guns but I think this optic misses the mark. If I'm going to spend a lot of money to get a quality gun I think I would prefer to spend a few more dollars and get a quality red dot to go with it.
Do you really calculate MOA for when you're adjusting a pistol sight?
@GBGuns I don't sit down and calculate it but it's nice to have the markings available. If I make an adjustment of four clicks and the point of impact moves in whatever direction one inch and I need to move the point of impact one more inch I know I need to adjust four more clicks. I think this works better than just arbitrarily turning a screw an unspecified amount over and over again to get the result I want.
I suspect you will continue to be jaded. In my experience ether Trijicon or Holosun are the only ones worth using.
$$$? $250! No thanks.
Where is mounting plate? Why didnt you show mounting on gun ?
The mounting plate came with the pistol. I didn't show mounting because TH-cam forbids that.
@@GBGuns ok thanks did the mounting plate fit ? Mine to big. Optic did fit. Yes using the one that came with it. And thanks for replying. Any suggestions? Trim plastic plate or try to get it on ? So what I'm asking is did you have any problems? Or what I'm asking is plate is bigger than optic
You may have the wrong plate this this optic. Are you using the plates that came with your gun? I forget the specific footprint of this optic, I just play mix and match until I find the plate it fits. I had no issues installing mine.
Using plate that came with optic. Plate fits optic but not on space on mc9. Thanks for responding. Something canik has not done.
I haven't tried mountaing anything to the MC9 (I don't trust optics enough for carry use), does the M01 not fit without the plate?
