I think I like them. I have two, so far. One (Trijicon RMR RM-07) on my bump-in-the-night home defense pistol, an FNP 45 Tactical.
I got the Trijicon RMR a long time ago... because it was the "gold standard." And, it wasn't cheap!
I decided to go with the Holosun HE507C-GR X2 for my first build - a range toy. It was a lot less than a Trijicon, but more than the low-end MRDS (miniature red dot sights).
In this photo, the camera ended up focusing on the rear sight instead of the dot.
Overall... I like the MRDS. They've grown on me. And, they do take some acclimation and practice / repetition, before "finding the dot" becomes more instinctive.
Those who are "older" and need "readers," can find the front sight difficult to bring into focus. This is where the MRDS shine.
I will add that I really like the sight picture of the Holosun better than the venerated Trijicon RMR. The window seems / feels bigger and brighter. I also like the green dot over the red dot.
