Whoever did that stipple job should be ashamed of themselves, It's horrifying.

In a post-apocalyptic scenario where it's been 20-30yrs since any batteries have been manufactured, this is a good product.

You done messed up Gary

Hearing "Half-Life" and inner me saying "3" every time ☠️

Thanks, Gary!

Damn it Gary .

To be fair to the dual illumination RMR, it was way before its time.

Holy sht.. That pink/red hue is horrid 😂

I have an astigmatism and figured this would be a good option, as the regular red and green dots that I have are getting increasingly blurry. I was wrong. All the astigmatism does is give you a triangle with fuzz.

thanks Gary!

I think the RMR DI was probably made based on some DOD requirements for an optic that required almost 0 maintenance or logistics support and Trijicon either had too much stock or believes in releasing more gov contract product to the civilian market. Either way is cool with me for an optic I’ll probably never need/buy.

"Now everyone, say thanks to Gary " Me: * flashbacks to elementary school *

I've had one of these on an FNX-45-T for the last 7 years or so. I'd have to agree that there are certain situations where it is effectively useless or just gets in the way. Aiming from a dark place into a bright place or using a weapon light, you're just going to have to use irons through it. Otherwise, 95% of the time, it's okay. I wouldn't buy another one, but I don't regret it at all; it has served very well as the optic for a novelty suppressed range pistol, and I wouldn't feel too uncomfortable using it for self defense , since I know its limitations.

Literally anything … i mean THANKS GARY! I’ve considered this optic a few times just because it’s usually the cheapest rmr option. I’ve seen so many YT shills hype this optic but many forums say it’s doodoo. I wonder if the few who like it are really just using their irons through the glass. I like the idea of not needing a battery but i don’t like auto adjust. Really wish someone would make a prism optic for a pistol. An etched reticle acro style optic would be dope.

Never been impressed or much liked any of the RMR options I've used. Sure they're durable. But everything else about them is inferior or equal to basically everything else out there for half the price. Holosun comes to mind. But either way. Great video man! Oh...and thanks Gary!

That’s because it’s not a pistol dot. We had these mounted on the 6x acogs on top of our 240Bs and they were phenomenal

Try taking off the German Africa Korps desert goggles then look through it 😉

I actually love this thing because it suits my need, atop my hunting shotgun that I only use in broad daylight.

Been saying this for years, a concept that sounds great on paper but is totally unpractical. Thanks gary!

I actually appreciate trijicon making optics not using watch batteries

Would you say this is all just your preferences? The Marine Corps mount the 9 MOA version dot on their M240. I thought they were super usable, but I do agree if it is pointed at a light source the dot wash out.

People Forget that 1. These are old as fuck and top shelf products when released. 2. This shit wasn’t even made to be mounted on pistols. Technology has come a long way since these were first released.

I feel personally attacked. The dual illume RMR is so underrated. It’s my favorite. But you’re right the triangle reticle one is hot garbage. It’s the only one with that outrageous dark purple tint. The others are more like the MRO, teal-ish and perfectly serviceable.

The idea was good in the TR24 lpvo with the 4 MOA triangle post reticle. In this pistol dot... just no.

Thanks Gary

I ignored the mainstream consensus and own a couple of these dots and I think theyre great, even a little underrated. To each their own.

Thanks Gary! I don't have the money for boujee dots, so I didn't even know this thing existed.. The only thing I like the looks of is the triangle reticle. Notch-yo-dot.

Thanks Gary!!!! Cheers JC for the honesty!!! - Godspeed

In my experience, the amber models are significantly better than the green dot models. I’ve got a 7 MOA amber dot model that is BRIGHT and only suffers the dot wash out problem in the most extreme cases (literally concealed in darkness and aiming out a window into full sunlight). The notch filter on the amber models isn’t nearly as pronounced either. All that said, the DI model sits on a “range” gun and my EDC has an adjustable LED RMR.

I sort of get why this might be a good "end of the world" optic since the fiber-optic illumination will, in theory, continue to work once your Li-ion batteries have expired, but then you're only left with a daytime optic.

The Russian Obzor is the only dual illuminated optic that I've found to be worth the time and money. It has a well designed reticle, and a lever you can throw to increase the contrast of the notch filter. Also, I miss when trijicon tried to innovate. They don't do anything new anymore, just chase the market trends.

I have been fun an RM05 9.0 Amber dot for the better part of 8 years. The amber for me seems to be a red dot and is very easy for me to pick up and see. The glass has minimal tint unlike the green version. I have ran this optic on Glock 19x, Glock 17 MOS, and I have one on an AR Pistol mounted to a Unity Tactical ANVL mount The only time this optic suffers is when you are using it in a transitional light setting. Dark to light or no light + flashlight. This is where any red dot struggles but it's definitely this model's kryptonite. And....... That's why we have backup irons. Personally, I will take this optic over any battery powered red dot any day of the week. For my rifles, I either run an RM05 on a Carry handle or I run a TA-01 (tritium illumination & croshair reticle). These are set it and forget it optics and have served me well. Countless IDPA and Black Rifle matches, multiple training classes, and my own training on my property. These optics have been flawless.

Bad thing is with how bad my astigmatism is its one of the few that is clear and crisp for me, where normal red dots are a hot fuzzy mess, main reason I dont run red dots on my guns my rifles are all scoped or irons.

How drunk was the dude that did that stipple job

Thank you Gary.

They are discontinuing the optic. I am picking up an Amber triangle, the Amber 7MOA dot is a favorite of many. No Batteries, No electronics, bomb proof

Thanks Gary in the comments down below.

I've been running the amber version on one of my G17s for about 5 years now. I like it because I can use the top of the triangle for a 25 yard zero and the bottom is a good reference for a hundred yard hold. But I'm a rancher and it works good for me as I use it mainly for hog and predator control. It sucks carrying a rifle all day everyday. It definitely isn't for everyone and if I'm not at work I carry a 43X with a traditional red dot.

"The tip works well..." Such is life 😅

Thanks Gary!

Teir 1 Citizen, just cried a bit. How you liking those SI iron sights? (Made of plastic). Thanks again, Gary!!

So i have one of these on a revolver and i really like it. Itll be used for handgun hunting. Ive found that even sitting in the shade the triangle is plenty bright, in full daylight its aimpoint bright. Ive heard that some of these DI ones can be darker as some factory defect. Would i edc one? No For a hunting gun, hell yeah Also the rose tint is a vibe

Trijicon is an anomaly. They make the best prism scopes. They make the best pistol dots, but also the worst rifle red dots. I will never understand them, as much as I love ACOGs.

That purple glass tint is appalling. Suggestive of sighting your handgun through a Jolly Rancher

For worst red dot, I'll see your Trijicon and raise you a Holosun.

I used to own of these, illumination indoors was GARBAGE to the MAX. Tint was BLUER than the SKY

Tier one citizen swears by these, to him they’re the best thing since sliced bread…

Thanks Barry

Drill press stipple job is awesome!

Good lord, thanks Gary.

Gracias, Gary. That means "Thanks, Gary" in eh span yol.

Lol look at that stippling. Lmfaooo!

But will it work after an EMP attack? Sounds like a trusty OG ACOG & Dual illum would be a great option for the nearly complete societal destruction paradigm we currently reside in

Cool concept, but in a world where pistol dot batteries only need to be swapped 1x a year, its not the move

*ruger ready dot has entered the chat*

Dang it I was hoping to make one of these with one of those cheap Ruger dots. And then you have to prove why it sucks.

Throw it in reverse gary 😂

lol I almost bought one because I love the ACOG so much

LoL lets not forget a LOVO that's not daylight bright too.

that stippling is very function over form

Not sure if you are hitting anything, but the firearm handling skills are looking good.

Question? Does Trijicon make a good pistol dot?

Love the truth another awesome video keep up the great work

GGGAARRRYYYYY!!!!!!!

Forgot to say man that notch filter is crazily disturbing

Love the honesty

Are you also the print shoot repeat guy? Lol. But yeh, I sold mine a couple years back to a small man who exited his car wearing a USMC t shirt and a staccato in an OWB holster. The concern from the burger king employees was palpable.

May as well occlude it with tape.

They’re also horrible with astigmatism

Holy purple.

RMR was good when it first came out, and can in fact be slammed repeatedly against steel tables to rack the slide, so its ruggedness is likely second to none. But in the current year that is no longer enough - it is woefully outdated in all other aspects. The idea of a holographic dot you have training-scarred your way into relying on not being visible under certain conditions is a hard sell. I wouldn't pay money for one, and if I received one for free, I'd immediately flip it for half price on the EE.

Still can take a better hit than a holosun. Those things drop once and explode😂😂

Man, I can't wait until he tests the best red dot, the Osight. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Had an RX-30 back when they first came out. Convinced me almost immediately that tritium and fiber optic powered reticles are *not* the way to go.

Shut up. I already knew this. Am I just trying to cope since I go suckered into buying one without knowing anything about it? Maybe. Edit, I'm now actually watching the video lol. My personal model is blazing hot outdoors. Indoors is good enough. I would say the only place where it struggles is if you're in a dim space aiming at something out in a bright space, OR when you activate your weapon mounted light which will wash out the reticle. For most shooting it is perfectly fine, but knowing what I know now, I will go battery powered for my next one.

Get your shit together, Gary

Its better than nothing, but I wouldn't pay for it.

Gary tf?!

Does the lapg light fit in stream light holsters?

Who tf is Gary? Jk thank you Gary

Rare Gary L

Like for the like god, comments for the comment throne! I've shot with one of these on a buddies handgun, and yeah, about the same experience. Hard pass.

shake some ass gary come on bro

Anyone with one of these that now wants to get rid of it hit me up 😅

Wtf is with that pink color?

I live in Arizona where we’re 3 feet from the sun 4-6 months out of the year.If something can’t perform in crazy bright direct sunlight it’s no Bueno for sure.thanks for the info.

Not to be too cringe, but instead of Gen2+ say whatever tube manufacturer it is. Photonis is "gen 2+" but that name is misleading. Good photonis units smoke bad Gen 3.

My buddy, just got rid of his same exact reasons that you’re talking about and he showed it to me before he got rid of it and I was messing around with it in his basement and it definitely sucks especially for the price you’re paying

Whoever did the stippling, they dont care about aesthetics.

Lies and slander!!!!!!! lol

Dual illumination red dots have always been the idiot test for fudds. There has never been a good time in history for such products to exist except to sell to luddites who then get into their completely computer controlled cars every single day.

Would this be a good offset dot for a rifle?

This belongs on a Turkish made home defense shotgun for sure

We had some of these at the shop. I’d look through them every once in a while and chuckle. absolutely worthless.

Thanks Gary
