I believe you have to build up a muscle memory to get the red dot back into your sight picture quickly on follow up shots. Conversely, the front sight is always easy to see and track. So yeah, you can see the front sight through the RMR, but now you have to focus on the red dot and your target. Bang, now you change your focus on the front sight in order to find the red dot quickly and once you do, you have to transition to the red dot and your target.
For me personally, i'm much more proficient on follow up shots and quick target acquisition with standard sights. The RMR is cool, fun to shoot with and likely a useful tool with enough practice. But i've been kicking the idea of selling it around.

I have that exact setup. I haven't had a chance to build up the proficiency since it's new and I've been busy. I shot it a few times though and I've had parallax issues. Did you experience anything like that?
I love the setup but like you said, it takes time to be an expert with it.
