I half to agree with most of this. The Dots are here to stay but need to be perfected for street carry. They are in the flip phone or pager stage right now. Striker fired guns have their compromises with the casual gun owner.
The RMR type 2 isn't good enough?

I doubt most guns would survive the abuse the RMR can handle, lol. I daily carry one.
Just change the battery on your birthday every year and you don't need to worry about it.
The rest of the market has a VERY long way to go, though. The RMR is the only sight up to being seriously used.
whatever the best dot is now will be outdated in 10 years. More than likely we will see a whole new platform which may include a 70% size reduction in mass material and a different light/power source. Just sayin.
Good information. I would have thought the size on RDS on a handgun would not matter so much.
Doubt if there will be windows in the future gen of RDS.
Take enough positions, one of them will be right.Ken was all over the place. Democrats would have won if the NRA backed them. Red dots are the future but there's virtually no positive points to support it. Glock is the future. The new market wants cheap guns. Sig sucks but they were the cheaper bid. People will build a Glock before they build a 6920. 9mm is the future and will remain affordable. I think he could be right, about something.
I'll poke the bear.My smoothest, most accurate shooter is a 1911. Going to war, I'll take the Glock that's always on and sloppy just enough to be reliable. Going to the BBQ or the range, watch out paper.
Holographic projection isn't possible without either a medium to project it on, or lasers that literally ignite the air into a little ball of plasma.
Doubt that's going to become an optic any time in the foreseeable future.
Doubt if its Holographic but a contained unit within the slide and/ or rear sight. More than likely I will not be around to see it but I know the Military has been working on this along with GPS and radar guided bullets.
Such a system already exists.
It's not going to be nearly as tough or as useful as a proper RMR, but it exists.
