Overview

The Trijicon RMR Type 2 (Rugged Miniature Reflex) stands as the gold standard for pistol-mounted red dot sights, with a reputation forged through years of military, law enforcement, and competitive shooting use. The Type 2 designation represents significant improvements over the original RMR, including enhanced battery contacts that eliminate flickering issues under recoil, more robust electronics, and refined brightness controls—all while maintaining the legendary durability that made the RMR famous.

Trijicon's patented housing design features a unique shape that absorbs impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens, enabling the RMR to survive abuse that would destroy competitors. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and waterproof to 20 meters, the RMR Type 2 handles everything from freezing rain to desert heat without losing zero. The LED reticle provides eight brightness levels plus an automatic mode that adjusts to ambient light, while three dot sizes (1 MOA, 3.25 MOA, 6.5 MOA) accommodate different shooting styles—with the 3.25 MOA option being the most popular for balancing speed and precision.

Available in LED (adjustable), dual-illuminated (fiber optic + tritium), and LED-only configurations, the RMR Type 2 adapts to various requirements. The industry-standard RMR footprint means countless mounting options exist for virtually every pistol, rifle, and shotgun platform. When reliability cannot be compromised, professionals worldwide trust the Trijicon RMR.
