I run a Glock 19.5MOS for my EDC. I'm strongly considering switching to a Trijicon RMR dual-illuminated RM05G, with a 9MOA green dot. Does anyone here have personal experience with any of the Dual-Illuminated series? I have just a couple of questions about them.
I'm currently using a Holosun HE407K-GR X2 and I just noticed it seems to have a weird function problem - the dot-dimming function has stopped working reliably. It's a great dot, I like it a lot, but if it's starting to have problems then I don't feel I can safely keep it for EDC purposes. For range plinking and just screwing around doing my twice-weekly Dot Torture drill, fine... but not for defending my life.
Main thing I'm wondering about the battery-less "dual illumination" RMRs is do they come on in the dark, like say, if I hear a bump in the night at home? Far as I can tell, the weird strap across the top & sides of the unit is a light-gathering system to power the LED. Is that right?
Thanks in advance to anyone who has direct first-hand experience with these odd birds.
