Trijicon RMR news from SHOT

[Alaskapopo]

This is way off topic, but, the fact that Trijicon offers so many reticule colours got me to thinking:

Why has NO ONE offered a blue reticule option? In my theoretical wonder-world, a blue electric dot would surely contrast pretty wickedly against just about anything I would be shooting at.

It would be way to dark and it would blend into a lot of things like the sky, water, etc.

Blue appears brighter at night

Firstly, blue light appears much brighter to us at night, or indoors where ambient light is low – an effect known as the Purkinje shift. This is because the rods – the sensitive monochromatic rod light detectors which our retinas rely on more at night – are most sensitive to greenish-blue light. (Some hypothesize that animals evolved the rods in underwater and jungle environments, hence the bias to blue or green – later we developed separate full color vision on top of that system, but the sensitive rods remained).

The Purkinje shift also noticeably brightens blue or green lights in our peripheral vision under medium to low light conditions, because there are comparatively more rods towards the edge of the retina – hence complaints that blue LEDs are distracting even when they're not the focus of attention.

Not giving you any flack, but 'round here water's pretty much brown and grey. I'd like to get up to Alaska sometime.

I tired for a blue model last year as special request... and test item the it never came about i have seen the blue fiber optics green is much better

Roger that. I don't think anything in the current lineup of reticule colours is lacking; just that blue would be pretty Billy Badass.

It's been tried, and it doesn't work. Too low in the visible spectrum for it to work in enough differing conditions to be worthwhile.

I have tried just about all of the MRD's available on my pistols and have to say the Dual Illumination RMR's are about as good as they get. I will definitely move this one over to another pistol and try one with a chevron or triangle. My eyes pick up yellow much faster then red but I would like to try a green reticle. If I don't like it then it will force me to buy another gun to mount a replacment.

Are we going to get dual illuminated RED triangles? I'm a fan of this commonality (work RCO, my TR24RT...)

Yes, exactly.

I like things that work without batteries - especially specialty batteries. If it must have a batt I prefer things that use AA.

However, the self adjusting brightness feature is fantastic. It completely handles the washout issue.

For reticules I like the red chevron better but I would gladly take a triangle.

Still, the current offering is fantastic.

When do these hit the street?
