Frequently Asked Questions
What pistols is the Trijicon RMR Type 2 compatible with?
The RMR Type 2 uses the industry-standard Trijicon RMR footprint, which is supported by a wide range of optics-ready (OR) pistols including the Glock MOS series, Sig Sauer P320 and P365, Smith & Wesson M&P Core, Springfield Armory Hex Dragonfly-compatible slides, and many more. For non-optics-ready pistols, a professional slide milling service or aftermarket mounting plate can be used to achieve a solid, low-profile fit.
What is the difference between the Trijicon RMR Type 2 and the original RMR Type 1?
The Type 2 features a fully redesigned electronics package that eliminated the accidental brightness adjustment issue present in some Type 1 units. The Type 2 also introduced a dedicated on/off button separate from the adjustment controls, improved automatic brightness sensitivity, and enhanced overall reliability under extreme conditions — making it the preferred choice for duty and defensive applications.
How does the adjustable LED model differ from the dual-illuminated RMR?
The Adjustable LED RMR Type 2 uses battery power to generate the red dot, giving you precise manual and automatic brightness control across all lighting conditions — including complete darkness. The dual-illuminated model relies on fiber optics and tritium for brightness, requiring no battery but offering less control over dot intensity. For most shooters — especially those in variable or low-light environments — the Adjustable LED version provides greater versatility and consistency.
