The main reason why I decided to get the FNX 45 Tac is because it is going to be my side arm to my AR. I wanted a full sized hand gun for the job. Granted I will probably only use it within the 25 yard range. How does the dual illuminated model do in total darkness? back up battery? Or will it need some sort of light source?Pawpaw wrote:What are you planning on doing with the pistol? I really like my RM04, but it's sitting on top of an ACOG on my AR. For that, it makes for a great heads-up display, with no blind spots, for a CQB optic.
If you're going to be doing target shooting at 25 yards, that 7MOA dot might be too big.
I especially like that there are no batteries in the "dual illuminated" models like mine. It uses fiber optics to gather light, so it self adjusts the dot's brightness for any lighting conditions. It has an internal tritium vial for when there's not enough light. The dot is always bright enough for anything other that shooting straight into the sun.
Thanks!
