Do you have an opinion about the auto brightness feature with the 407CO (8MOA ring reticle)? Do you think it's bolder (more useful) in auto mode than some of the other reticles, or do you just run it in manual mode?

For serious use I run it in manual mode, I just dont trust a computer sensor to do what I want personally. On my .22 I leave it in auto mode and it has been good to go on all range conditions I have used it in. It still will not work well if you are in a dark room shooting into a sunny outdoor space. Or if you use a WML in a dark room.
Fwiw, taught on an east-west oriented range in New England this past week with late winter sun angles. A couple of students with Trij RMRs found the dual dot experience in the morning (sun to right front) and afternoon (sun from right rear, low) as well.
Tried a rmr and 509t early this morning and when sun was going down in New Mexico.. besides some other personal issues I have been having with dots, it has me heavily considering going back to irons for now.
I tried it again and didn't have as big of a problem. Let me try it tonight with the circle only and circle dot options. I saw your other message, a big thing for me leaning towards irons is the concealment part. The rmr on my 26 prints making the 26 harder to conceal than a p2000 with irons.
I had wondered about this with the Holosun 509T on my LTT / Lipseys HK USP 45s.
Any thoughts?
