Wait, they don't sell anything to those states? Even optics or accessories? If so good to know who to avoid.

Nope. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Long story.

 

From their website.

NY, CA, and WA state laws make it impossible for Freedom Firearms Inc dba GA Firing Line to ship items to any individuals or FFL holders who reside in those states. Under these laws:

• Companies who sell firearms or firearm-related items (ie, scope rings) are liable for damages if any person "comes to harm" (ie, drops scope rings on their toe) in any incident involving that item.
• The individual who sells and ships any firearm or firearm-related item to NY or CA is personally liable for damages if any person "comes to harm" in any incident involving that product.
• CA state law specifies no time frame for these rules; the law could be applied retroactively to make our company liable for damages involving items shipped to CA even before the law's effective date.
• Washington state law contains a stipulation that does not require a plaintiff to prove willful noncompliance to convict a defendant under their firearm-related law.

Freedom Firearms dba GA Firing Line will not risk incriminating our company nor our staff for the potential future actions of complete strangers for whom we are not responsible. No firearms or firearm-related items will be shipped to the states of CA, NY, or WA, nor to L.E.O.s who reside in those states. Please take time to read through the NY laws, the CA laws, and the WA Laws yourself.[/url]

 

Thanks for posting. Always good to know what companies to avoid. I have ways around it sure, but I don't like supporting companies that hang our brother and sisters out to dry.

 

Well, they're the only ones who have the RMR HD right now. I had a nice conversation with one of the main guys there. They don't hate on any of the Blue states. They had a few unpleasant experiences involving costly litigation and it was basically a business decision which they felt could impact their economic survival. I told them to just shut down all business with states for which there is a huge market might be a tad extreme. He told me they're working on a solution. Being in California I've occasionally run into this situation with online vendors where they just don't want to deal with risky states. Usually it's the smaller vendors where the volume they do can't offset the cost of even one litigation.

 

I understand and respect their position, but stand by mine when I can.

I wanted a Strider folder for years but learned what a dirt bag he was after I bought one and promptly sold it.

 

I vote with my wallet. Why I will be buying 3-4 RMR HDs as soon as I can find them around $600 each from a retailer that supports the resistance here in norkal. Ef anyone who hangs us out to dry. Willing to pay a bit more to avoid them, much like I'm willing to pay more for a trijicon vs an arguably superior holosun.

 

RMR hd is game changer. Love it and the RCR.

 

sincere question = how does the RMR change the game?

 

This is why small companies worry about issues like this. Steel Fox was local to me and I've bought several guns from them. Now they're gone because they supported people's freedoms.

Attorney General Tong Shuts Down Ghost Gun Dealer Following Illegal Sales in Connecticut

Attorney General William Tong announced today that Florida-based ghost gun dealer Steel Fox Firearms will dissolve in a settlement with the State following the sale of illegal, untraceable ghost gun parts in Connecticut.

People's freedoms take a back seat to providing sustenance for your family and employees.

 

I’m not sure the HD a game changer. I really like them though. Bigger sight picture and circle dot reticle is great. Holosun are very nice but I like the look and durability of the trijicons. Expense is an issue but on a Nighthawk what is couple hundred bucks.

 

I’ll have my first RMR HD hopefully this weekend when my Quantico Hi Cap get me to my FFL and I’m excited to see how it compares to my RMR and Holosun 507 Comp.

 

I was hoping to have a basically new 3.25moa one from a member here yesterday but the USPS has really screwed the pooch on this one. Then I saw a bundle from scalarworks and got that one today. Didn't read the fine print, theirs was the 1 moa version. Anybody have time behind both and which did you prefer?

 

Anybody have time behind both and which did you prefer?

I have both. With a RMR, I definitely like the 1MOA best, but with the RMR HD, I like the 3.25MOA best. The 1MOA is just a little too fine for me. For what it's worth.

 

Weird, I actually prefer the opposite due to both the light sensor and outer ring.

 

I have an RMR, SRO, RCR and RMR HD here, spent time behind all.

The SRO, RMR and RCR are pretty much the same.. just a difference in window size for the most part. The RMR HD is my fav for the ring and auto-sensor.

Sensor- I thought it would just be a silly feature but in doing laser training indoors, panning around and near light sources, I really think it's a benefit.

Ring- makes target and sight acquisition faster

I'm running RMR HD on all carry guns but have one RCR for snow and rain days- just in case.

What dot size on rmr hd?

 

3.25moa..

 

I won't buy one due to the price. Then they will release it in od green and all reason will leave me as I scramble to find my credit card.

 

3.25 moa rmr HD is on order due to all of the positive reviews I’ve read. Lots of time behind standard rmr’s, SRO’s and HS507’s and I prefer the looks,layout and operation of the rmr so I’m betting I will like the new HD version even more

 

It is "ok", but I would not buy another one, and prefer my Leopold DPP.

 

Beautiful agent 2 there. I absolutely hate the dismal battery life, how tall of sights you have to use because of the tall deck height and one button operation for everything on the DPP. To each their own.

 

Somebody explain how I wound up with 5 of these things?

 

me: reads post, glances to the website name, returns to post.

I will say I too have 5, and honestly don't even really like them. My first one screwed me in a USPSA LO match stage the first time I went to use it (the sensor was fine when I made ready, but then when I pointed downrange for the first target the dot magically disappeared). I have since learned to turn off that feature. Same with the ring, no use for it. So all the "neato" stuff of this optic is lost on me.

I do like the far better buttons for adjusting the brightness than the nearly non-functional ones on the SRO. So its got that going for it, which is nice. And don't even get me started with the encyclopedia sized instructions for the morse code of push push puuuuush push puuuushh to get any of the way too many setting changed.

But, yeah, 5 of them in the gun room at this point. Why? Well, I got a deal on them and frankly I am not an ACRO fan nor an RMR fan for defense guns, so I figured I'd get these and see if I end up liking them on defense guns. (I run SRO's mostly on range and competition guns)

 

Personally I just use this as a top mount battery RMR. I turn off the circle and lock in my preferred brightness.

I have 2 and that's kind of where I'm at, too.

You guys have it right. Same here.

 

The "buttonology" is kind of ridiculous. Wish they'd just copy Holosun's. Like everyone else, I just run it in manual like I would an RMR.

 

The rmr hd is a solid choice.

 

One of the 6 HDs I bought was package deal with mount from scalarworks. I got it because it made the HD very reasonable and I'll just sell the mount. Well not so fast. 1.93 height seems like a great fit and actually like it on the short barrel.

 

Looks like the street price went up on these. They're $774 now.

 

Who actually has some in stock?

 

who indeed! Slim picking out there (gun deals doesn't get all retailers reporting of course, so there will be other places with some). Stock levels were much better in the past couple of months, so I'd expect a restock at some point...

3.25 nearing unobtanium levels:

https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/719307619227

1 MOA is in relative abundance:

719307619210 - Trijicon RMR HD 1.0 MOA RMHD1-C-3200001

gun.deals

 

I've only found the 3.25 MOA in stock here. There seem to be plenty of 1 MOA out there.

 

that sucks.. i got one from Scheels locally, about 6 weeks ago.. was 649 but with tax it was closer to $700 egad, they pricey but you can still find them on marketplace -- found 2, $600 and $615.. and elsewhere for $649.

 

The greatest thing about them is the shape, you can sit your slide upside down while cleaning. Otherwise, hmm, their expensive if that's what your after.

 

The greatest thing about them is the ......

Is that the auto adjust really works. You can go from dim light to 100000cd light blasting on the wall in front of you and not loose the dot. I really wish holosuns worked like that but they don't.
