Picked up a gen 5 G17 MOS yesterday, I like it. It’s my 5th glock, so I’m quite familiar with them
I’m interested in a red dot for it but I have a few questions
I have an aimpoint PRO on a carbine which is the basis for my red dot experience
when the PRO is too bright for the conditions it washes out obscuring the target a little (useable but distracting and not ideal)
does the RMR or aimpoint Acro have similar issues, the G17 is gonna be a road trip/HD and occasional CCW gun and the sight Needing adjustment from indoor to outdoor, bright light to a gas station after sunset makes me hesitate (how often do you draw your ccw gun and check sight picture? Rarely to never after you leave your house)
if I like the dot on the G17 I’ll get my gen 3 27 and 23 milled for dots as well, and yes I will drill and train with the dot because the sight picture/natural point of aim is different from standard sights to red dot
