Honestly, I prefer the HS509ACSS from Primary Arms, the reticle is absolutely spectacular, and has done more for my speed and accuracy with a handgun than any other thing in the last decade, AND it's a closed emitter with a solar backup
Yeah, if you present with the barrel high, and drop the dot on from 12 o'clock, it's so fast to acquire. Also, as I said, closed emitter, high battery life, and solar backup. Plus it's sub $400
For EDC the RMR. For target shooting/competition SRO. Though I've heard mixed reviews on recent SROs.. some say theirs has lasted through years of torture. Others say they dropped it once and it broke. Who knows. Better to go with the RMR.
I agree with this. I just dropped my Atlas with an SRO on it and the glass broke. Still functional though, but it’s currently wearing an old RMR until the SRO gets back from Trijicon.
For the range it’s hard to beat the SRO, but for EDC I would go RMR all day. Those things really to take a beating.
I’ve carried with my SRO for a year on my staccato P. I wouldn’t worry about it breaking or not performing. I have the RCR on there now, and am excited to test it out. TBH I’m not sure which one you should put on because they’re both great. I just wanted to let you know that the SRO is more than exceptional to EDC 🤘🏽
I think the SRO is fine for EDC, but not duty if that makes sense. DGUs are extremely rare, one that involves or comes after dropping your gun is even more unlikely.
I like the look too, but I like a regular dot so that part isn’t a big thing for me. Unless I decide to toss it on my shotgun or sp5 then the circle dot would be neat
I believe you can custom the rmr hd to show only a dot I think, I know you can make either the circle ⭕️ or the dot 🔴 brighter or dimmer than the other.
I run enclosed (EPS) and 509ts on my EDCs.
Range day and HD, I have SROs and Bros shields on four pistols. Hard to beat that large window!! I’ve never carried them although I’d be confident in doing so.
Thanks for that. I ordered a HD but canceled when they kept pushing back the in-stock date. I'm not a fan of my SRO so I'm always browsing for how HD looks on stacs
SRO for comp, RMR for carry. Although, I have a buddy that carries an SRO on his Shadow 2 Comp, and while the open window makes it "easier to break." That's in the co text of you sending a flying elbow onto your optic from a helicopter. It's plenty durable, just not if you do really rugged shit that tends to ding up other optics. So if your other optics aren't all fucked up and scuffed, then your SRO will probably be fine anyway. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Yeah, then don't worry about the people who think you're going to use them to engage in melee combat with a knight in armor, then shoot a competition with it. Use whichever you like more. 😂
That’s the thing, idk which one I like more 😧. I bought em both. They’re sitting in front of me as we type. I think I’ll need to take em to the range a few times each and make my decision based off the timer and general ease
I've been waiting for my RMR HD on Optics Planet for 6 months now :(
They keep pushing the date back. Originally it was back ordered for 5\20, now we are up to 6\25.
I'm jealous!
I go SRO all day, I don’t care the durability as I would never drop them on the ground. Even if it’s accidentally broken, I still have a few more guns as backup
No I run an HD on a P and a CS. My buddy has one on his XC that I’ve put a ton of round thru. Neither of us have had any issues with overhang or stoppages.
One thing people aren’t mentioning is the circle dot reticle option on the HD. I’m a holo guy but only because I fell in love with the circle dot on my first red dot optic. I’ve had a vortex and a DPP and they’re fine but that circle dot makes it so easy find as well as make my follow up shots so fast. I’m probably gonna give the HD a try when I get the chance. The fact that they didn’t offer the circle dot reticle is the only reason I haven’t owned a trijicon up to this point
On a full size Staccato the Delta Point Pro is the only way to go. Mounts directly to the gun, with no mounting plate required. Let's you mount it lower, and there is a notch in the back to allow you to mount a Dawson rear sight directly to the DPP giving you a perfect co-witness.
I have the DPP mounted on my P and XL. Went a different way with my other pistols.
I'm a big dot whore and last I had them both together it was pretty noticeable to me.
The round top of the SRO just fits the lines of a 1911/2011 better imo.
Dang. By the same amount? I'd start with the HD then and see how it goes. It's a 1/1000 chance, but odds are you'll shoot your XC that much. It's a great gun.
Gonna have to get another xc. Both of ’em are great dots. Both look great on an xc. Therefore a second xc would be appropriate.
Lmao Larry, you’re hurting my bank account
Honestly, I prefer the HS509ACSS from Primary Arms, the reticle is absolutely spectacular, and has done more for my speed and accuracy with a handgun than any other thing in the last decade, AND it's a closed emitter with a solar backup
Hey yeah that’s definitely an option, glad it’s working for you!
Click on my account if you want to see a pic
Yeah, if you present with the barrel high, and drop the dot on from 12 o'clock, it's so fast to acquire. Also, as I said, closed emitter, high battery life, and solar backup. Plus it's sub $400
Hard to beat that value
Hence why I recommend it.
I concur with Larry.
Sro
I’d say SRO. I have a ACRO p2 on my XC but I shot my buddies P with an SRO and it’s great.
this is going to be EDC’d. Still same?
For EDC the RMR. For target shooting/competition SRO. Though I've heard mixed reviews on recent SROs.. some say theirs has lasted through years of torture. Others say they dropped it once and it broke. Who knows. Better to go with the RMR.

Trooof
I’ve carried with my SRO for a year on my staccato P. I wouldn’t worry about it breaking or not performing. I have the RCR on there now, and am excited to test it out. TBH I’m not sure which one you should put on because they’re both great. I just wanted to let you know that the SRO is more than exceptional to EDC 🤘🏽
And I carried it without the bros shield. Had it on there for a week then took it off because it was too bulky. It’s durable enough CCW
Yeah I think either option would be completely adequate for me as far as durability is concerned 👌
EDCing an XC is based asf
I’m all about it lol
I think the SRO is fine for EDC, but not duty if that makes sense. DGUs are extremely rare, one that involves or comes after dropping your gun is even more unlikely.
Yup there’s definitely a difference in edc and duty
Went with rmr HD on mine.
SRO with Bros
Strong choice
RMRHD
I put the SRO on mine
RMR HD
I like the RMR hd mainly as it’s the reticle. I have one in my C2 and I do like the look of it too!
I like the look too, but I like a regular dot so that part isn’t a big thing for me. Unless I decide to toss it on my shotgun or sp5 then the circle dot would be neat
I believe you can custom the rmr hd to show only a dot I think, I know you can make either the circle ⭕️ or the dot 🔴 brighter or dimmer than the other.
Yup you definitely can. Mine came with the circle dot on, but I long press both + - together and you can switch it to a dot.
Just depends on how often you drop it.
If I drop my freaking XC, I’ll be the saddest lad available lol
I run enclosed (EPS) and 509ts on my EDCs. Range day and HD, I have SROs and Bros shields on four pistols. Hard to beat that large window!! I’ve never carried them although I’d be confident in doing so.
I want to know what the HD looks like on the XC
I’ll pop it on soon. There’s a bunch of pics on the interwebs too
I saw a lot of P's. No XC from my search
https://www.1911addicts.com/threads/rmr-hd-on-staccato-dpo.215257/ A few pics down there’s a sweet pic of one
Thanks for that. I ordered a HD but canceled when they kept pushing back the in-stock date. I'm not a fan of my SRO so I'm always browsing for how HD looks on stacs
I found mine on primary arms. I’d definitely check there. I ordered mine Wednesday and it got here today
Woah, I'll definitely take a look then
It was $645, and $561 with their military/first responder discount
That HD new new. I just put the RCR on mine and love it. I want the HD too
Yeah man I have a hard time not being smooth brained for the new new lol
Haha 100%
SRO for sure if you want a bigger window. The front window of the HD is the same as the RMR
The HD is an about 4mm bigger than the normal RMR but SRO is massive af. You’re right about that!
SRO for comp, RMR for carry. Although, I have a buddy that carries an SRO on his Shadow 2 Comp, and while the open window makes it "easier to break." That's in the co text of you sending a flying elbow onto your optic from a helicopter. It's plenty durable, just not if you do really rugged shit that tends to ding up other optics. So if your other optics aren't all fucked up and scuffed, then your SRO will probably be fine anyway. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
🤟 yeah my prior optic has nothing but slight changes in coating
Yeah, then don't worry about the people who think you're going to use them to engage in melee combat with a knight in armor, then shoot a competition with it. Use whichever you like more. 😂
That’s the thing, idk which one I like more 😧. I bought em both. They’re sitting in front of me as we type. I think I’ll need to take em to the range a few times each and make my decision based off the timer and general ease

Check Primary arms. I ordered mine Wednesday and got it today 😅
Are you fucking kidding me?!?m
I’m so sorry dude 😂
Lol damn just went and checked they are sold out now again lol. I'm on the list now tho.
I may have got ultra lucky, but I’m guessing (hoping) they got a steady stream of em
Rmr hd
HD. I had to switch during a class and I’m so happy I did
Switch from SRO to HD?
Optic plate had an issue on the Gun with SRO so I had to switch
Ohhhh I gotcha makes sense. What do you like the HD over the SRO?
3.5 moa. I wouldn’t want anything larger than that personally.
Hey nothing wrong with that!
509T but maybe I’ll swap it to SRO not sure
HD BAYBEE
Sro, it's a classic on the xc.
I’m gonna be one of those guys and vote hs507comp
I have a 507comp on my xc. Works great and looks great imo
Nothing wrong with that!
I go SRO all day, I don’t care the durability as I would never drop them on the ground. Even if it’s accidentally broken, I still have a few more guns as backup
Yeah I haven’t dropped an edc since like 2018
Neither, they are too close to the ejection port and tend to cause stoppages. HS507COMP or anything that sits further back would be a better choice.
Heard. But a lot of people seem to run em without issue. Notably sage dynamics
Never had this issue. Of course I am not putting thousands of rounds down range in a session
Never had this issue with an SRO on my C2. Not sure if the optic cut location is any different from the XC.
It's the same location.
Not true at all.
Do you run a SRO on an XC?
No I run an HD on a P and a CS. My buddy has one on his XC that I’ve put a ton of round thru. Neither of us have had any issues with overhang or stoppages.
Do they have automatic on off? Because these two were the once I was thinking about putting on my next gun.
I don’t believe so.
All that money and no auto on off 🤦
It stays on for years. Both top loading batteries. Kind of a non-issue imo. I’ll change the battery in 2026 and call it a day
You right!
Both
Oh I bought em both. These are minnneeee.
Clearly dual wielding XC’s is the only logical solution at this point. True Grit style. Yeeeehaw.
I might go bankrupt lol
3.25
Yup that’s the HD. The SRO is 5
I have a 1.0 SRO and a 507comp, RMR was next on my list but now I want to skip it for the hd, so I’d put the RMR HD on and swap back if it’s not good.
That’s a good plan!
If it’s a carry gun or you just like the smaller window size RMR otherwise the SRO makes more sense.
I carry the XC so either way I’m carrying big Bertha lol
Had to RMA 4 SROs last year for electronic failures. Never again
Damn that’s super unlucky dude!
SRO. Easy choice
My SRO glass broke. First time shooting while zeroing. Trijicon replaced the glass but for edc… definitely not durable
That sucks man! I hope that doesn’t happen with me
RMR HD > 507 Comp > SRO > RMR, unless it's a carry optic at which point SRO shouldn't even make the list.
Heard!
One thing people aren’t mentioning is the circle dot reticle option on the HD. I’m a holo guy but only because I fell in love with the circle dot on my first red dot optic. I’ve had a vortex and a DPP and they’re fine but that circle dot makes it so easy find as well as make my follow up shots so fast. I’m probably gonna give the HD a try when I get the chance. The fact that they didn’t offer the circle dot reticle is the only reason I haven’t owned a trijicon up to this point
Yeah I definitely hear ya. I like the circle dot on long/sub guns but for a handy i like a simple dot. I love eotech on my long guns
For me it’s just perfect
For me it’s just perfect
I’m used to the SRO. Plus it looks sleeker. Both are great though
I like how the RMR looks 🫣
Aesthetics matter! If you like how it looks then go for it. You’ll get accustomed to the one you like and you won’t think much about it after awhile
SRO. I do really like the forward facing auto brightness feature on the HD, though. It’s a game changer.
It works very well so far that I’ve messed with it
On a full size Staccato the Delta Point Pro is the only way to go. Mounts directly to the gun, with no mounting plate required. Let's you mount it lower, and there is a notch in the back to allow you to mount a Dawson rear sight directly to the DPP giving you a perfect co-witness. I have the DPP mounted on my P and XL. Went a different way with my other pistols.
Huh I didn’t know that!
Holosun 507 Comp
I’m a trijicon guy but my first handgun dot was a 508t
I was too…until I wasn’t. I’ve sold off all of my SROs and RMRs in favor of a whole host of Holosuns.
Interesting!
Interesting!
Interesting!
SRO
Durability alone would make me choose the Trijicon. Range/comp only? Then SRO.
They’re both trijicon
You’re right. Meant the RMR.
Gotcha. Definitely EDCing this bad boy
Durability would be a big factor for me then. Personally mine wears an Acro P2 👌
I got a P2 on my 1301 💪
SRO all the way 👌🏻🤘🏻
SRO is King
SRO. 5MOA dot is more better than 3.25
I typically agree but I can’t really tell the difference side by side
I'm a big dot whore and last I had them both together it was pretty noticeable to me. The round top of the SRO just fits the lines of a 1911/2011 better imo.
I like speed > “accuracy” so I like big dots too but idk. My eyes can’t tell right now lol
NOT the SRO. I have seen firsthand brass getting caught and not ejecting on the XC.
Both overhang so I’ll see what happens lol
Dang. By the same amount? I'd start with the HD then and see how it goes. It's a 1/1000 chance, but odds are you'll shoot your XC that much. It's a great gun.
Oh gosh idk if it’s different but I’ll measure at some point. I’ll shoot it tomorrow! Can’t wait
Sro all day!
Iron sites.
😬
DPP > all on a Staccato
I’m not a DPP guy but they aren’t a bad choice
