Hi all,
I took my 9L CORE to the range for the second time and first time with RM07. It's alove-hate relations for now.
1. I'm Happy to say I used 250 rnds WWB NATO and 2 full mags of SD 147gr HST rnds w/o any issues. She handled perfectly about 600 rounds target and SD ammo in 124 gr P, 124gr +P, 134 gr +P and 147 gp P loads between two trips to the range. I'm so happy with the gun I took tactical light off my XDm 9mm 3.8 compact and mounted it on 9L CORE, making it officially my HD gun. Most likely XDm will be sold sometime soon.
2. RM07 is another story. after a very first burst of 4-7 rounds the red dot slowly washed out, increasing in size and just disappeared. it "came" back a few minutes later. But the situation repeated itself a few rounds later before I even emptied my first mag. the remaining 250 rounds were worry-free through - red dot was on and sharp.
I wandering if a possible cause of red dot became large, blur and out of focus weak circle, that eventually disappeared, was a battery contacts?
the first 100-150 shots were way off the target ( about 4-5 inches lower and to the right), but adjustments, but with some adjustment I was able to zero and "master" red dot. My last 50 rounds were mostly dead on. I was feeling that I'm in control of the shooting and slowly making hole larger. I Regret that I took only 5 boxes with me - I would benefit today from another couple of boxes.
3. RM07 did not come with any cover. any one has an advice on how to protect the RDS while not in use?
4. cleaning gun... do I take RMR off for cleaning the slide? What is your 101 on cleaning a gun with RDS attached?
Thank you in advance for sharing your know-hows.
Edit. the user manual supplied by Trijicon has really small font for my aging eyes. I bought a magnification glass today and as able to find all other questions I had.
