Wal Mart Dot 20k review

Published on October 3, 2023
Duration: 4:11

This review provides a 20,000-round update on the CH Precision Red Dot, colloquially termed the 'Walmart SRO'. While functional, the reviewer notes minor wear from holstering and a single instance of the dot walking, requiring a re-zero. The glass clarity is described as less premium than higher-end optics. The reviewer compares it unfavorably to the Trijicon SRO and strongly prefers the Holosun 507 Comp, even at a higher price point, citing button usability and overall quality.

Quick Summary

The CH Precision Red Dot, nicknamed the 'Walmart SRO', has been tested for 20,000 rounds. While functional, it shows minor holster wear and experienced one instance of the dot walking. Its glass clarity is less premium than higher-end optics, and its adjustment buttons are less ergonomic than those on the Trijicon SRO or Holosun 507 Comp, which is strongly preferred.

After 20,000 rounds, the CH Precision Red Dot shows minor wear on its metal housing from holster contact. While it remained functional, it experienced one instance of the dot walking, requiring a re-zero. The glass clarity was also noted as being less premium than higher-end optics.

How does the CH Precision Red Dot compare to the Trijicon SRO and Holosun 507 Comp?

The reviewer finds the CH Precision optic functional but less premium than the Trijicon SRO, which is made of plastic and avoids metal scraping. The Holosun 507 Comp is strongly preferred over the CH Precision, with the reviewer willing to pay more for the Holosun's features and quality.

What are the ergonomic differences between the CH Precision Red Dot and the Trijicon SRO?

The Trijicon SRO features significantly larger plus/minus brightness buttons that are easy to adjust, even with a 9mm casing. In contrast, the CH Precision optic requires a small flathead screwdriver for adjustments, making it less convenient to manipulate.

Is the CH Precision Red Dot a good value for its price?

The CH Precision Red Dot, often called the 'Walmart SRO', is considered a functional and viable budget option, priced around $300 or less. While it performs its basic function, its limitations in glass clarity and button ergonomics make it less desirable than premium alternatives for some users.
