RMR Troubles in No Light Shooting

[FrankW]

I've recently come into ownership of a Trijicon RMR, sort of fell into my lap really. I've played around with it and noticed that the auto adjustment does not work well in a low light situation when operating the weapon mounted light. The red dot becomes almost impossible to see. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Best solution is to get the adjustable model

ah crapo.

I do apologize for the less than informative post, hit submit before completing my thought.

If I was in your shoes, this is what I would do:

Sell the current RMR for a few $$ off the going rate.
Someone out there is sure to want it.
Pick up the adjustable model.

Even if I took a $100 hit in cost increase, at least I would wind up with a small, light, usable optic instead of a $550 optic that doesn't work at what I want it to do.

That's just me.

What application are you running it in? If on a pistol, it does help to have suppressor height BUIS. I find myself generally switching to using the BUIS when using white light in a dark room simply because of the contrast. The dot seems to work well in almost every other lighting condition (I am running RM02s for the most part).

As Jack pointed out the adjustable does help, but if you crank it up extremely bright for close quarter white light, it will then be to bright if you have to shoot with no white light/dim ambient lighting. Having said that the adjustable also has the same auto adjust ability as the non-adjustable so you're not really giving anything up.

The RM06s are becoming more and more popular on handguns as well due to the fact you can simply increase the brightness intensity to achieve a perceptively bigger dot should you need to but dim it down for precision applications (same concept as on a long gun).
