I have amber (RM04), but they offer green too: https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products ... lluminated

The best part about these is there are no batteries. In daylight, they use fiber optics so they just naturally adjust to ambient light conditions. When it gets too dark, tritium takes over.

Someone I know is selling the one below and didn't know how well the green would appear in daylight.

Green is fantastic in the daylight. To me it's pretty much the same when you compare an orange dot vs green on iron sites. Green always pops well in the bright Texas sunlight. I have the Romeo 1 optic which is red and have shot the rmr with green dot and prefer the green, really does well in the sunlight.

I have an ACOG with the green chevron and it is exceedingly bright in the direct Texas sunlight. I have a couple of older RMR's with the 12.5 MOA triangle in yellow and those are quite visible as well. I doubt that this would not be a spectacularly good optic.

I have the RM04 in green. It is generally pretty bright, but it can wash out if you are in a darker area than your target or if you use a weapon mounted light.

I have the green Crimson Trace laser on my Shield 9. It is extremely viewable in bright sunlight. I would assume the Trijicon would be also.
