RMR in the rain

[GJM]

You learned about the jelly cover in the last rain/red dot thread, when you gonna try it.

Reading the reviews on Amazon, it seems more like a protective cover for use in a range bag, as opposed to something you shooting through in the rain.

I use one of these for a protective cover (in a range bad). As for shooting with it on... It would be the optical equivalent of taking a pair of cheap gas station bought sun glasses, throwing them in the dirt and raking them across some gravel, then putting them on and trying to see a crisp dot - not going to happen. The cover distorts the dot considerably. Would it be better than rain? Maybe, but still not usable IMHO. YMMV.

I asked about rain on the lens way way back in the rmr-pistol circle-jerk thread and nobody wanted to address it.

I saw this issue come up for two RMR users in a class down at CSAT. Both times I've been to Nacogdoches, random rain storms have popped up. In the summer class I attended, the guys with RMRs had issues as soon as rain hit the emitters, even though the pistols were worn concealed.

Hmmmm.....seems like there may be a use for Homboy sights after all.

Re-brand them for the tactical people and you'd have "Offset pistol BUIS"...

Modern Service Weapons had an excellent article, and photos, of this phenomenon in action. I can't find them now, but maybe someone can dig them up.

Only if you have Glocks.

I'm curious as to how well my laser would work during the rain as a back-up sighting system.

At some point those with normal vision will go back to "slick" Glocks and that will be a thing.


Doesn't seem like the juice is worth the squeeze for all things until the optic is sealed and frame mounted. Trijicon has a small form optic that could be close, I'd imagine something could be done with it.
