Anyone else besides me using this RMR

I have one on my new 3.1" 13+1 Shield Plus 2.0 and are so far very happy with it. When I bought mine, it had a slightly lower price and a 10% off coupon. Saw a review of it where a guy literally beat TLS out of one (I know it's only a sample of one) and it held up extremely well. It has 100 rounds exposure at this point. Am seriously considering after it experiences and passes the remaining 400 rounds needed for my break in reliability test to put same RMR on my 4" PC Shield Plus. It is a direct fit no AP needed for the Shield plus optics cut.

Would appreciate others who own one and have 500+ rounds on it what they think of it.

The RMR is made by Trijicon, that is a chinese knockoff.

Thank you for your reply. I was aware it was MIC. Pardon me but aren't 90-95% of all RMRs made in China? including Holosun? As far as I can tell only RMRs or red dots not made in China that are anything even close to affordable are Trijicon and Aimpoint.
Thank you again for your reply.

As far as lesser known brands of RMR's go I have three under $170-$180 models that have seen 100-110 12ga 3.5" turkey loads and about 50 trap loads and about 45-50 12ga 3" turkey loads and are still going strong. I also have two <$60 Truglo gobble dot turkey red dots on my sons 12ga 3.5" guns that are best guess at 60 rounds each of 12ga 3.5" and another 50 rounds of field loads for red dot zeroing and practise shooting so I am not that worried about a $180 RMR being reliable as I have an Ameriglo Haven on my 4" PDP compact for a year now and 1.5k+ rounds and I paid around $150 for it on sale and it has been 100% reliable and held zero perfectly. It went along on dozens of turkey and deer scouting and hunting trips in a Safariland GLS optics friendly OWB holster.

The jury is still out on weather or not I will use an RMR on my EDC as I now own two 3.1" Shields and ome 4" Shield and I am putting new AM XS F8 sights on my Gen-1 Shield and Gen-2 Shield plus and I really like the factory NTS on my 4" PC Shield but good Lord I shoot 2-3x better and just as fast with a RMR VS iron sights.

The issue is your using RMR as a generic term. RMR is a product line of Trijicon. MRD is generally considered the acceptable generic term.

As far as lesser priced brands yes, Holosun is generally considered pretty decent and usable.
