Solving Common Shooting Challenges with the Trijicon RMR Type 2

Many shooters face frustrations that limit their potential. The Trijicon RMR Type 2 directly addresses these issues:

1. Struggling with Target Acquisition Speed: Traditional iron sights require precise alignment of three planes (rear sight, front sight, target). The RMR simplifies this to just two: the red dot and the target. This enables both-eyes-open shooting, maintaining peripheral vision and allowing for significantly faster target acquisition and follow-up shots.
2. Compromised Accuracy in Dynamic Environments: When moving or under pressure, maintaining a consistent sight picture with irons can be challenging. The RMR's parallax-free design ensures that as long as you can see the dot on the target, your point of impact will be consistent, regardless of minor head movement.
3. Optic Durability Concerns: Many miniature red dots struggle with the intense recoil forces of pistol slides. The RMR Type 2 was specifically engineered to overcome this, incorporating enhanced electronics and a robust housing that resists shock and vibration.
4. Poor Visibility in Varying Light Conditions: From glaring sun to pitch darkness, traditional sights often falter. The RMR's adjustable LED and intelligent auto-brightness feature ensure the 3.25 MOA dot is perfectly visible and crisp in any ambient light, day or night.
5. Limited Situational Awareness: Some aiming systems can narrow your field of view. The RMR's open design and crystal-clear, multi-coated lens offer an expansive view, crucial for maintaining awareness of your surroundings and engaging multiple threats.

A Deep Dive into the Trijicon RMR Type 2's Engineering Excellence

The RMR Type 2 is packed with features that set it apart, each meticulously designed for peak performance and durability.

Robust Forged Aluminum Housing

The foundation of the RMR Type 2's legendary durability is its housing, crafted from forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. This material is celebrated for its exceptional strength and light weight. What truly makes it stand out is its patented, unique shape, which is engineered to absorb and redirect impact forces away from the lens, safeguarding the delicate internal components. This means the RMR Type 2 can withstand accidental drops, heavy recoil from even large caliber firearms, and extreme operational stress without losing its zero or compromising functionality. It's built to survive.

Durable Flat Dark Earth Cerakote Finish

This particular model boasts a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a state-of-the-art ceramic-based coating known for its outstanding resistance to abrasion, corrosion, chemicals, and impact. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, which offers a subdued, tactical look, the FDE Cerakote provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring the optic remains pristine and functional even after prolonged exposure to harsh environments, sweat, and cleaning solvents. This finish isn't just for looks; it's a functional enhancement that extends the optic's lifespan.

Precision 3.25 MOA Red Dot Reticle

The heart of the aiming system is its 3.25 MOA (Minute of Angle) red dot. This dot size is arguably the most versatile for general-purpose shooting. At 100 yards, a 3.25 MOA dot covers approximately 3.25 inches. This balance allows for fine precision at longer distances for rifle applications, while remaining large enough for rapid acquisition and engagement in close quarters with pistols or shotguns. It offers a clear, distinct aiming point that minimizes target obstruction.

Advanced LED Illumination and Power Management

The RMR Type 2 is a lightweight LED sight powered by a single CR2032 lithium battery. This standard, readily available battery offers an impressive lifespan. Trijicon's optimized electronics deliver years of continuous operation at a nominal brightness setting (e.g., Setting 4 out of 8), meaning you won't be constantly changing batteries.

• 8 Brightness Settings: Adaptability is key, and the RMR Type 2 delivers with eight manually adjustable brightness levels. This range includes two settings optimized for use with night vision devices, ensuring visibility in absolute darkness, and six daylight settings that can cut through even the brightest sun.
• Intuitive Manual Controls: Located conveniently on either side of the optic, the clearly marked plus (+) and minus (-) buttons allow for quick, tactile adjustments to the reticle's intensity. Their ergonomic design makes them easy to operate even with gloved hands or in high-stress situations.
• Automatic Adjustment Mode: For seamless transitions between varying light conditions, the RMR Type 2 offers an intelligent auto-brightness mode. By simultaneously pressing and releasing both brightness buttons, the optic will automatically sense the ambient light and adjust the dot's intensity accordingly. This feature provides hands-free operation and ensures optimal visibility without constant manual input.
• Battery Saving Off Feature: To conserve battery life during storage or transport, the RMR Type 2 can be easily powered off. Simply press and hold both brightness buttons simultaneously for three seconds. This critical feature significantly extends the overall battery life, ensuring your optic is ready when you are.

Effortless Windage and Elevation Adjustments

Achieving a perfect zero is straightforward with the RMR Type 2's easy-to-use adjusters, featuring clear audible clicks for both windage (W) and elevation (E) adjustments. Each click provides a precise and repeatable movement of your point of impact. The distinct audible and tactile feedback ensures confidence in your adjustments, even in low-light conditions or when your focus is primarily on the target. Once zeroed, the RMR Type 2 is renowned for its superior zero retention, meaning it holds its point of aim even after thousands of rounds or harsh impacts.

Compact Dimensions and Featherlight Weight

Measuring a mere 1.77 inches in length and weighing just 1.2 ounces with the battery (without mount), the Trijicon RMR Type 2 is incredibly compact and lightweight. This minimal footprint ensures it won't unbalance your firearm or snag on clothing, making it ideal for concealed carry, pistol mounting, or as a primary optic on lightweight rifle builds. Its small size contributes significantly to its versatility across multiple firearm platforms.

True-Color, Multi-Coated Lens

The RMR Type 2 features a high-quality, true-color, multi-coated lens. This advanced optical coating maximizes light transmission, providing a bright, clear, and undistorted image of your target and surroundings. Unlike some optics that impart a blue or green tint, the RMR offers a true-to-life color rendition, which is crucial for target identification and maintaining situational awareness. The multi-coating also reduces glare and reflections, further enhancing visibility.

Waterproof and Submersible

Built to withstand the elements, the Trijicon RMR Type 2 is rigorously tested to be waterproof up to 20 meters (66 feet). This makes it an ideal choice for use in wet weather, humid environments, or even accidental submersion, ensuring that rain, snow, or mud won't compromise its performance when you need it most.

Why the "Type 2" Matters: A Critical Evolution in Red Dot Technology

The designation "Type 2" isn't just a version number; it signifies a substantial enhancement, particularly for pistol-mounted applications. The primary improvement in the RMR Type 2 lies in its updated electronics and battery contacts. Early miniature red dots, including the original RMR Type 1, could occasionally experience intermittent reticle illumination when subjected to the extreme and rapid forces of a reciprocating pistol slide. Trijicon addressed this head-on with the Type 2, designing a more robust electronic system that ensures continuous, flicker-free illumination even under the harshest recoil impulse. This makes the RMR Type 2 the go-to choice for those looking to mount a red dot directly onto their pistol slide, guaranteeing unwavering performance in high-stress, dynamic shooting scenarios.

Optimizing Your Setup: Mounting and Maintenance

Integrating the Trijicon RMR Type 2 into your firearm setup is typically straightforward. While the optic itself does not come with a mount, its widespread popularity has led to a vast ecosystem of aftermarket mounting solutions. You can find direct mounting plates for popular optics-ready pistols, low-profile mounts for rifles and shotguns, and quick-detach mounts for versatile applications. When installing, always refer to the specific torque specifications for your mount and optic to ensure secure attachment and proper zero retention.

Maintaining your RMR Type 2 is simple:

1. Lens Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics can be applied to the cloth, never directly to the lens.
2. Battery Replacement: Replace the CR2032 battery periodically, typically every few years depending on your usage and brightness settings. Always keep a spare on hand.
3. Housing Care: The Cerakote finish is highly durable, but a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth will keep it looking its best. Avoid harsh abrasives or solvents.
4. Mounting Security: Periodically check the tightness of your mounting screws, especially after extended shooting sessions, to ensure your RMR maintains its zero.
