We just love the Reflex Sight. Except, of course, when the sun is in your direction of fire and eliminates the dot. Then, all you have is a clear lens before you. The fix, of course, is just to flip up the rear sight (we have those flip-up types) and engage the target with iron sights.
Well, our 18F had a nice little device that fixed this problem for him. He had himself an EO Tech holographic sight. More than just a dot, his "heads-up-display" had a circle with cross hairs around it and a dot in the center. Even with the strong sunlight, we had little trouble looking through his.
Recently, it seems that some measure of funds have funnelled down to the battalion. However, due to some sort of policy at USASOC level - I'm not very familiar with it - we are not allowed to purchase any other sights (since we have SOPMOD).
What are your experiences with the Reflex Sight and what did you do to fix it? BTW, iron sights don't go away with the sunlight.
