    Trijicon RMR RM05G (Green) Dual Illuminated washout?

    I've read some archived info and the consensus is the dual illuminated RMRs seem to washout when aiming from dark to brightly lit areas, generally people are referring to the amber dot. I'm just curious if the 9moa green dot version suffers from the same washout effect.

    I'm looking to put this RMR on an M&P Pro CORE as soon as they come out. I'd like the dual illuminated (I like the idea of not having to change batteries every year), but at the same time I'd hate to have the washout disadvantage.

    Thank you in advance!

    Yes. The issue is not with the reticle color. It's due to the fact that when the ambient light goes away, there is nothing to drive the reticle. Yes, the tritium kicks in but the illumination providd by it is really only visible looking from a very dark area into another very dark area.

    Awesome thanks! Is that a 9MOA dot? Have you encountered the same washout issues as the amber?

    Yes it s the 9 moa. It does wash out in a dark environment looking into a bright environment like the others.

    I run this one on my pistol:http://www.trijicon.com/na_en/produc....php?pid=RM08A


    I like the triangle over the large dot as it allows for more precision at distance.

    Doesn't look that large in the pic.

    Pics are deceiving.

    what grant said - it's very difficult to gauge actual dot size in photos. depends on the distance of the lens to the optic, what the camera is focused on etc.
