I thought the comment section was "misinformed" when talking about the almost $800 price point. HOLY CHIT!! i paid $650 for mine and at some point opticsplanet did in fact raise their price. WTF? THATS BONKERS.
When the RCR was $650 it was pricey but still a good choice. I got one when it first came out for that price and it is awesome. Now the price is $774+ which is outrageous. Go with the Aimpoint Acro or a Holosun or an SRO until they drop the price.
Didn’t realize they went up. I also got my RCR on pre-order, I finally understood why Trijicon was so expensive. Not sure I’d be willing to pay nearly $800 though.
They were 645 even a week or 2 ago. I was so close to pulling the trigger on one and didn’t. Looked at them today and after taxes and shipping you’re looking at about 840 😩
I bought mine about 6 months ago from Euro optic they were selling it for $649 I emailed them because I bought so much stuff from them I said what's the best price they gave it to me for $550 plus tax and shipping which cost me $35 to overnight it it's a really good price I got it for it's a great optic I love everything about it except the mounting system that I don't like
The mounting system works though and there’s no reason to ever have to take it off unless it fails. I’m 2k rounds through mine so far with a dab of vibratite on the screws and paint marked them, they haven’t budged.
Even Mr guns and gears address the same problem he has many slides that are double cut one for RMR and the other one for a Delta point pro and unless it has those two little front recoil posts in the front I'm not talking the ones you put the screws in no matter what you do to it it's still comes loose that's what I mean when I said I have so many nice slides I can't put it on because even if you put and it doesn't have those two front recoil posts it still comes loose from The recoil it needs those two little front posts work properly so it limits the optic I like it a lot but I just said it limits where you can put it on I just don't like a system where I can't properly torque the screw I'm a perfectionist if it's an optic cut that is just for an RMR yeah it works great still I like to torque my things to spec
@@milspecmike8440 I don't know if you're familiar with strike Industries you probably are but I have a really nice FDE their Glock 17 Gen 3 the light slide I can't mount it to that because it uses M3 screws and trijicon doesn't sell any and they don't have any so it's kind of disappointing that it has to use those types of screws to mount the RCR so that's what I kind of mean but it's a wonderful I have it on my sigSauer p220 with the adapter plate it works great with that system because it has those two front recoil posts
You won't have to take the RCR off to change batteries...... That might be worth the price of admission alone. I bought mine for $640. I think that would indicate prices are coming down. Great optic otherwise.
I got mine from eurooptic for $549 I emailed them and asked them what's the best price you can give me they were originally selling it for $649 and the discount they gave me was wonderful but then again I bought tons of stuff from them + $34 overnight shipping it's a great optic I love everything about it but the mounting system
@@defconcreative I knew it was a good price when I bought it. They really should be that expensive. That map price is like Sig level of stupid expensive.
Sorry, I'm getting a 509T every single time. $200+ dollars cheaper. Titanium built. Side mounted battery. Bigger window. Comes in different reticle options. as well as option for red and green.
Yeah that's a cool feature but more reticle stuff means more information to process vs a red dot only I shoot in the Vegas bright sun the holosun lacks brightness Trijicon never has that issue
I bought an RCR and installed it on my ‘24 Staccato C, I have a handful of Holosuns. There is no comparison. The RCR’s dot is very crisp and gets extremely bright. The build quality far surpasses Holosun. If I tighten the battery tray screw on my Holosuns, they have problems (some won’t adjust or shut off or go into sleep mode or change reticles, etc), so I’m forced to use vibratite to ensure they don’t work loose. Holosun’s screws sheer off frequently. The dots aren’t as bright or crisp, my RCR dot is a 3.25 but turning it up makes it look like a bigger but clean dot but with the flare limited, the Holosun’s flare badly and turn into a blob yet don’t get as bright. The window on the RCR shows no signs of sealant while the Holosun has sealant visible in the window. Don’t get me wrong, I still keep and use my Holosuns, I will probably buy others but you are getting a better sight from Trijicon.
@@Dirk-my2zf ehhh. A holoson would work just fine. Where trijicon makes a difference is durability. I would have a holoson to defend my life on a edc or a normal rifle. However I would not have it on a hard use rifle or edc due to durability and maintaining 0 after abuse.

Yeah, Trijicon just raised the price last week
@@defconcreativeI am sure that they had a very good reason lol!
trijicon just did an 20% across the board price increase so those that got the optics cheaper that is why. The price increase was last week
Wtf
@@EverythingFilmmakingdid you a twenty percent decrease lol!
If they made a green version of it I'd buy one.
I wouldn't mind a blue dot or green
What are the advantages of a green/blue dot vs a red dot?
@@RoverTheDog1green easier to focus on and not strain your eyes
My Wilson combat came with an RMR. I wonder if I can swap to this one?
If you got the bank then yes you can lol!

in my country 1390 dollar ! 😁

Made in America means it's worth every penny.
I get first responder discounts so after tax and shipping i think i paid 686 for mine yesterday
For the price I wish it did something to set it apart from the competition. Don’t hit me with reliability crap either!
They made this red dot for all of those that are deeply into the end of the world themes and the great zombie apocalypse dreams!

$774 for a pistol optic? It projects a red dot on a piece of glass. Am I missing something? Oh yeah- American made so double the price. LOL.
lol the poors have entered the chat😂
Good point!
Who hit you bruh, did you get yours?
??
You’re shadow banned by the way because none of your videos have shown up in my feed until this one
Yeah, TH-cam does not like videos with actual guns being fired so this one probably showed up because there’s no live fire in it
Just walked into my LGS one minute ago. It’s still $645+tax here.
Nice…. They raised prices 2 weeks ago so it may take a while to be implemented everywhere

That’s cheap… MAP is $774 so you found someone who will make zero dollars to sell it!!
I've seen by my for 699

Trijicon like many are at insane prices . Holosun is a better value

Value is subjective. Holosun makes a great optic on somewhat of a budget but it doesn’t compete with Trijicon which is okay. It’s not supposed too
I would not put a holosun on any weapon I wanted to use to defend my life with. A Trijicon is absolutely designed to fight.
@@Dirk-my2zf ehhh. A holoson would work just fine. Where trijicon makes a difference is durability. I would have a holoson to defend my life on a edc or a normal rifle.
However I would not have it on a hard use rifle or edc due to durability and maintaining 0 after abuse.
@@TimmysHR a hard use rifle or edc are life defenders. You are clueless.
I'd rather pay more & keep it in the USA than purchase something made in China aka holosun.
