$850 and it's not even a closed emitter, duuuude WTF?!?!?!! What's the logic behind a $850 RDS that competes against SIG and Holosun models that cost $350-$500?Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

There's a need to stop the "Made in USA" price gauging excuse! "Made in USA" is very much like "Free Range Chicken", and it's always been: it only means "more than x% needs to be made in the US". Where are the electronics coming from, the glass, ...
I'm sure it's a fine RS and passes rugged/MIL-810/IP27 blah blah blah (I do this for a living BTW, ALL $300+ RDS would pass these tests), but is $850 really justified?

Thread resurrection!
I found this searching online and would offer the following feedback on the Echelon + RMR HD.
Don’t do it.
1) Trijicon tells you straight away in the manual for the RMR HD, don’t do it.
https://www.trijicon.com/uploads/page_content/PML1057-1_Rev(0)_RMR_HD_Manual.pdf ; page 4.
2) If warning number 1 is not sufficient
I swapped from RMR to RMR HD at 8,980 rounds. The first outing was a night shoot and I got this same malfunction, but it was dark and I was a bit hurried and tapped, racked and moved on before taking a picture.
This picture is at round count 9,312.
Ammunition is Magtech 9mm 115 grain

ah bummer @smurfslayer because I'm running the same setup and have had zero issues.
I've put approx 700 rounds through the gun with that optic and have not had 1 single malfunction.
100 rounds of Federal HST 124gr
the other 600+ was PMC 115gr

What is your ejection pattern like? I get one shells popping up right at 12 o’clock. There is not a lot of overhang on the echelon port, FN 509 is way worse, and a bunch more prone to this from videos I’ve seen.
