RMR Dual Illuminated

ACOGs use the same tech, fiber optic and tritium. When an acog washes out you have the etched reticle, when the rmr washes out you have the irons. Same

Tritium is much brighter in the ACOG, just so you know.

Very detailed. Thanks.

What would you like to know that you haven't already said? They are junk for anything other than a range toy is the bottom line.

Mine summed it up that they are both garbage so it doesn't matter.
If they made those reticles in a battery powered I would say triangle particularly if you're planning on shooting slugs.

i have to disagree with most of the comments in this thread. since 2014, I have owned 4 of the dual illuminated green dot RMRs. 3 of them are on S&W M&P core pistols, one of which has been my daily carry IWB since 2014. I don't shoot as much as some here, but I have put more than 40k rounds through my daily carry using this optic.


my experience has been overwhelmingly positive and i greatly prefer the no-battery option. the dual illum dot is nowhere close to the brightness of an aimpoint or battery powered RMR, but the optic, just like an acog, does an excellent job of varying the intensity to the ambient light from dark to bright sun.

some key points:
1. it is outstanding with NV, and run n gun on steel at night with this optic is one of my fav activities. moving from a lit environment to dark and back only requires flipping my nods. i don't have to futz with brightness settings because they automatically adjust. and having a dot too bright washes everything out in dark without nods, and seriously screws up nods. if you are active at night, seriously consider this optic.
2. it does take a while to get used to. it was several hundred rounds before i was seeing the dot before i saw the irons.
3. yes, standing in the dark and looking into the light is a problem. but if I can't see the dot, I can still see my irons
4. I've never had to replace a battery
5. of the 4, i have returned one to trijicon for service because the dot got really dim.
