Who's This For?

The Trijicon RMR Type 2 excels for military, law enforcement, and competition shooters who prioritize battle-tested reliability. This tactical red dot sight serves professionals demanding proven durability over modern features.

New red dot users face documented learning curves, while budget-conscious buyers may prefer feature-rich alternatives. Those looking to wake up, add solar backup, or simplify maintenance should consider newer competitors with modern conveniences.

Key Features

Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum Housing — Patented impact-resistant design diverts stress away from the lens, making this tactical red dot sight virtually indestructible under combat conditions.

Crystal-Clear Red Dot — Multi-coated lens delivers zero distortion with competition-grade precision for accurate shot placement at extended distances.

50,000+ Hour Battery Life — Auto-brightness technology with adjustable LED brightness provides over 4 years of continuous operation in any lighting condition.

20-Meter Waterproof Rating — Complete environmental sealing makes this waterproof red dot sight reliable in rain, snow, and submersion conditions.

Eight Brightness Settings with Large Controls — Side-mounted buttons enable fast target-acquisition adjustments from daylight to night-vision compatibility, even with gloves.

The Expert Says

Strengths: Expert testing confirms that this tactical red dot sight delivers unmatched durability, crystal-clear optics, and exceptional battery life of over 50,000 hours. Military contracts and law enforcement adoption validate proven battlefield reliability.

Limitations: Bottom battery access requires sight removal for changes, while newer competitors offer larger viewing windows and modern features such as shake-to-wake technology. Premium pricing reflects proven performance over convenience features.

FAQ

Why does my RMR red dot disappear intermittently during shooting?
Battery contact issues or loose mounting screws cause intermittent failures. Check the screw torque and the battery seating plate.

Does the 1 MOA dot work better than the 3.25 MOA for precision shooting?
Yes, 1 MOA provides superior precision at distance but requires more brightness for quick acquisition.

How do I change the battery without losing zero?
RMR requires removal from the slide to change the battery. Re-zero after reinstallation with a proper thread locker.

Why does my red dot look fuzzy or starburst-shaped?
Astigmatism causes dot distortion. Test with the camera - if the dot appears clear, it's your vision, not the optic.

What brightness setting works best for both indoor and outdoor use?
Auto-brightness mode automatically adapts or can be manually set to levels 4-5 for most conditions.

Is the tactical red dot sight compatible with Glock MOS models without the need for proper alignment adapters?
Yes, RMR mounts directly to Glock MOS with the factory plate (#02) and proper screws.

What warranty coverage does Trijicon provide for the RMR Type 2?
Limited lifetime warranty on housing, 5-year electronics warranty with excellent customer service support.
