The Trijicon Specialized Reflex Optic (SRO™) 2.5 MOA Adjustable LED red dot is best for applications in which speed and recovery of the dot is critical such as in competitive shooting.

The wide field of view and clean, crisp dot makes it easy for users to find and track the dot in both target and competitive shooting applications, helping improve shooting accuracy and speed. Every SRO features both manual and automatic LED brightness modes and a 3-year battery life.

The SRO is designed to survive the rigors of slide ride pistols and is engineered for hard use. It shares a similar electronics design with the proven Trijicon RMR®.

Like the RMR the SRO is forged from 7075, T-6 aircraft grade aluminum, making it much more durable than conventional red dot sights. This forged housing protects the lenses and electronics, and it has been tested to survive typical pistol mounted drops.

Just ordered one, I have a venom on my competition pistol, and really like it, but wanted to see why so many competitors seem to prefer the trijicon.

Customer service is amazing, they had it picked up by Can post in 1 hour. That's incredible, hats off to SoleyOutdoors. Now I mention this because OTHER outlets like to give you a pre-shipping number, but don't actually ship things for up to 3 weeks (you know who you are).

I have to admit I plan to recoup some of the cost of this by doing a comparison video, and I think I'll mention the good service, even though 99.9% of viewers are our 'merican brothers. :)
 
Anyone on the fence about one of these...

So I swapped out a venom for the SRO, had to buy a new adapter plate and all, so it wasn't cheap, but first time to the range with it made all the difference. I shoot IPSC, and I had worked quite a bit with holster and a laserlyte system to chew down my draw-to-dot-acquisition time, as the venom dot really isn't the very best for instant target acquisition. It's not bad at all, but you do have to hunt for that dot sometimes. I worried that I would have to re-learn with this optic, but not so, it's quite a bit easier to find that dot. I think the round glass just makes it more likely you are going to see the dot as long as you draw and aim properly, you just don't need to swivel around the gun to pick up that dot as much, it's almost always visible. I had figured that if it wasn't worth the extra $$$ I would just sell it, but I'm definitely going to keep it, and I think I'm going to see an improvement in competition, which is of course why we buy all this crazy expensive gear :)
 
I have two of these in 2.5. One on my Shadow 2 OR and the other on my Walther PPQ Q5 SF. Love them both! I just hope (based on another thread) that I never have an issue with them as getting warranty work done on these in Canada (or anything Trijicon from what I hear) can be a very lonnnnnng process.

haha that's -exactly- why I'm keeping the venom as a backup... the vortex warranty really is second to none, and I read about the triji warranty issues, BUT the sro is definitely more robust than the venom, so it should last a good long while, as long as everything inside holds up. I also put mine on a shadow 2, I have a second that isn't the optics ready version, so I'm looking for a retro mount for it... I definitely couldn't hide TWO of these from my wife at that price ;)

Ironically...... less than 1 month later and the sro just shut itself off and ain't coming back.

Contacted triji direct, and yeah, I gotta send this thing to Detroit, they say "we don't do anything in Canada, you'll have to ship it to us".

So I can say this is definitely the last trijicon product I will buy. Guess I'm putting the cheap ole vortex back on the gun (not that we can use it anywhere anyway).

It's night and day build quality difference on the frames of the optic... but my ole vortex is still running after 3 years, and a bunch of competitions, but the triji only made it past a sight in day of 20 rounds before it died. Trijicon didn't even offer up any suggestions for trying to get it running, they just said "sounds like a failed unit, you'll have to send it to Detroit, we don't do anything in Canada". :sigh:
There's also the issue of optics being regulated crossing the border, no idea how I'm going to deal with that unless trijicon has that figured out, all in all, very sorry I bought this.

any idea if the glass housing would clear the adjustment cap on a 4x acog if I mounted it on a trijicon "backpack" plate ?

I have a 4x acog, and putting them side by side, I would think you would be about 2mm too high to clear the cap, but that's just lining them both up on the rail, not totally sure of your application...
 
Well it's been 2 days since they said they would get back to me. I think trijicon has just dumped my request in the garbage.

I note that solely outdoors hasn't chimed in. Says something about customer support there too.

I feel a youtube video coming on. When I did one on the kriss vector I had reps from the company getting in touch (not that they did anything but they sure didn't like the review). I think the whole "how trijicon treats Canadians" is a good candidate.
 
I'm just reading your issues. I had one of my SRO's quit during a session. I actually got in touch with the gun store I purchased it from and they told me that it has happened a couple of times but that the issue wasn't with the optic but the battery cover. I tightened down the battery cover and the optic sprung to life again.

I would try this and/or replacing the battery that came with the optic.

Hope this solves your problem.

I spent a couple of hours on the battery compartment before I even tried contacting trijicon. I tried different batteries, I tried removing the 2 waterproof rings, I tried absolutely everything I could think of, besides cranking it down with excessive force or hooking up an external power supply. I explained this to triji and they came back with "sounds like a faulty module, too bad you live in Canada, we don't give 2 ####s about Canada" (I might be paraphrasing a bit, hard to be nice with the level of customer support I'm looking at, and a $1000+ lump of aluminum).
 
Somerset Bar, you've been necroposting in this thread and awful lot and moaning, why don't you actually send the pistol back to trijicon? I'm not sure what you expect them to do, if they don't have a service centre in Canada.
What exactly is the issue with mailing it to then? It's certainly going to get you further then complaining about trijicon on a vendor's post?

So you're moaning about my moaning? Good for you fella, makes you look extra awesome. What exactly is your point? Also...look up the meaning of necropost, you're seriously not doing it right.

There's another thread on 'nuts about the difficulty in sending these things back, and of course I don't have to tell an expert like YOU about import export restrictions on optics, but it's not that easy. Also, you do know you can take optics off of guns before you send them in, right? I mean, was there anything correct or relevant you wanted to add in here?
 
The SRO issue in this thread is far from the norm. They are by far the most durable carry optics/production optics sight out there. So many have 50k+ rounds on them without a single failure.

Your statement is not even coherent.
What do you mean send the pistol back to trijicon?
 
Careful, the triji fanbois will get mad that you're necroposting.

If you buy a $1000 optic and it only works for a month, and you have to send it back to the US via 3rd parties that don't give you tracking numbers, you had best be thrilled it's a trijicon, and don't dare complain about it.

I should mention that I got the warranty phone person to kind of admit that they send what are basically factory seconds to Canada. The phrase was something like "well if an optic is going to fail, we'd rather it happen in Canada, than in a foreign engagement, where a US soldier's life depends on it". No joke.

Yeah, won't buy their stuff again.
