Frequently Asked Questions

How does the size of a pistol optic affect concealed carry?

The size of a pistol optic significantly impacts concealed carry. Larger optics, like the Trijicon RMR HD, are more prone to printing against clothing, especially when the firearm is rotated into the body. Smaller optics, such as the Holosun 507k or Shield RMSC, offer better concealment due to their reduced profile.

What are the trade-offs between large and small pistol optics for concealed carry?

Larger pistol optics, exemplified by the Trijicon RMR HD, generally offer greater durability and robustness. However, they present a greater challenge for concealment, increasing the likelihood of printing. Smaller optics like the Holosun 507k and Shield RMSC are easier to conceal but may sacrifice some durability.

Which pistol optics are recommended for easier concealed carry?

For easier concealed carry, smaller pistol optics are recommended. Examples include the Holosun 507k and the Shield RMSC. These optics have a more compact design, making them less likely to print against clothing compared to larger, more robust models.
