Carry RMR cleaning. Login/Join

So is everyone just using standard scope camera lens cleaning products to clean RMR’s, specifically Trijicon RMR’s and Sig Romeo1’s? I’ve got a Leupold lens pen and some individually wrapped camera lens cleaning wipes I’ve used on other optics. Any concerns to using these? Especially since this is looking like it will be at least a monthly event.

I use compressed air and a squeeze bulb with brush to blow out the dust and lint where it seems to collect on the shooter-side of the lens. I do this every few days as it seems to add up quickly.

I've used camera lens cleaning fluid and microfiber without any ill-effects. I've only done this five or six times over the past couple years, and my RMR guns gets shot a lot and carried daily.

I wipe it with my shirt about 10 times a day.

Not sure how you're carrying but do you find it getting banged around more than a non-rmr gun?

Hadn’t thought of an air duster but that should help greatly. The main issue is the dust etc. collecting on the shooter side of the lense. Just imagine all that lint that collects behind the hammer being spread across your sight picture. The muzzle side just gets a little blow back from the ejection port but it doesn’t seem too bad.

I carry in a Rosen 5JR OWB and after a few months I don’t recall banging into anything. Though I’m used to having a full Sam Browne on for work so that helps with spatial awareness. The hood of the optic has definitely become the main issue for possible printing and I did have to move the gun slightly forward on my belt to compensate.

I use regualar eye glass cleaning stuff I get with new glasses. quick wipe and its gtg. For me it takes a few days for it to get to the point I care. I shut the RMR off once a day to get out of the silly auto crap so I look at it then and decide. And if there is nothing useful around I go with the Pittwm method of my shirt... The one I carry has the opposite problem of the ones I shoot where the debris is on the front. At the matches I use these prewetted wipes.
