Hmmm Do you use rubbing alcohol or anything on the diode? Or just with a cotton tip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I just cleaned was on a Romeo three max. If it’s inside the casing then just clean the clear protective part. I just use a dry Q-tip with nothing on it.

FTP_Shooting_Sports Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 You will need a micro q tip (you can find these on Amazon for cleaning eyelashes) to be able to clean the emitter lens. A regular q tip is too big. Just use a little windex on the tip. Before doing that, make sure you blow away any debris with compressed air as you don't want to scratch the emitter lens.

George16 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I use these because the pointed tips cleans the edge of the glass nicely. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZXF2B4/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07MZXF2B4&pd_rd_w=GuqJ7&pf_rd_p=085568d9-3b13-4ac1-8ae4-24a26c00cb0c&pd_rd_wg=SJnlb&pf_rd_r=M30GHKPKG6YSP6QHYVA1&pd_rd_r=07e7d3de-b8b2-43eb-864b-e5e34e84195d&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMkpaMVg4UjVBMUJTJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjkxMDkxM1I3MzlZVjVZNVcxUyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTY2ODk4MTFBM1lSU1JZVUlNNyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Edited May 10, 2021 by George16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTP_Shooting_Sports Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 These are micro q tips and can be bent so you can get at the emitter lens: https://www.amazon.com/Applicator-Disposable-Applicators-Mascara-Extension/dp/B07G5QMP55/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=micro+qtips&qid=1620666228&sr=8-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clw42 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I received my 6 MOA yesterday. Unfortunately it's going to have to go on a rifle. For whatever reason, the FTP is worse with my astigmatism than the Romeo 3. With the Sig, I see a small "comet" with a "tail" at the 7 O'clock. With the FTP it's like two full dots blobbed together. Maybe the 8 MOA would have been better for me. I'm not bashing, it's a perfect circle through my camera, it's likely just a function of the way the emitter and glass work together (along with my eyes). It's well built, the buttons are great, the glass is super clear so all in all a great item, I just think it would be too much of an adjustment to switch my pistols over.

Asigmatism is an interesting issue with optics. We have had a number of people say our dots were better with their astigmatism but in your case, it sounds like it was worse.

I was hoping it would be better, especially since my astigmatism isn't bad. Oh well, like I said, it's not a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serevince Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The footprint is slightly different as stated. Longer font and rear, from the screw holes. FTP will provide a print on request. Fortunately I'm friends with a (only slightly evil) genius of a machinist, he matched the front "W" profile and the rear radius perfectly. (have pics, but I get a file size error) Couple hundred rounds through it today. Nothing significant to add, except I wish I had not waited to go to a dot. I started to have a pretty significant shift in eyesight around age 40. That front sight has gotten tougher and tougher. Turn 46 this week and I was happy to see, that the dot helped immensely with eye strain and focus. Looking forward to spending more time on the range with it.

Bakerjd Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Finally got mine back from a friend who borrowed it because his R3XL broke. I've read through and cant find, probably missed it, what mount will work for an open gun. I currently use a cheely mount for my RTS2. I belive it's the time he makes that fits the RTS2 and Romeo 3 optics. Thanks, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NETim Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Put an 8MOA on my CO gun. I haven't run it in a match yet. Sighting in went fine. Running drils etc I am happy with the 8MOA dot. It's early obviously, but I like the FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
