The RMR Type 2 was selected by U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for the Handgun Reflex Sight (HRS) Contract after extensive testing and evaluation showed the RMR Type 2 to be uniquely reliable and durable in handgun applications.
A similar version of the RMR Type 2 HRS that closely matches the one chosen by the USSOCOM is now available to the commercial market. Unique to this RMR is the hard-anodized coyote brown coating which is designed to reduce detection and special markings which identify its date of manufacture and unique serial number.
The RMR Type 2 is designed with a patented housing shape that absorbs impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens to increase durability. It also offers redesigned and upgraded electronics that have been proven to perform when mounted on slide ride pistols and other small arms. It’s suitable for military, law enforcement, concealed carry self-defense, target shooting, and hunting applications.
The RMR Type 2 Adjustable LED sight puts the illumination control in the user’s hands. Easy-to-use buttons on the sides of the optic allow the user to adjust the illumination brightness, toggle between manual and automatic modes, and power down the RMR for storage. The automatic mode functions the same as the LED RMR version. If a manual mode has been chosen, the RMR will remain in manual mode for 16.5 hours following the last push of a button. After 16.5 hours, the optic will default back to the automatic mode so that the RMR will be ready for your next mission or task. All RMR Type 2 Adjustable LED sights are compatible with night vision devices, with the 3.25 MOA dot size being the most popular. Additionally, the user can also lock out the buttons so that the RMR functions in automatic mode only. This ensures that inadvertent button pushes do not cause a loss of aiming solution.
The 3.25 MOA dot is the most versatile and popular of all RMR dot sizes. The dot is small enough to allow accurate shooting at range while also being big enough to locate quickly.

Received the RMR Trijicon red dot site as advertised. Fit and function is great. Would have been nice when ordering the red dot to have the website inform me I needed a RM63 sealing plate if I wanted my 500 dollar site waterproofed to 66 feet, to keep water from shorting it out. Discovered reading manual which came with the site. Sadly had to order one separately and waiting again for parts to complete.

I mounted this MRD on my Walther PPQ Q5 Match. Solid construction, easy to adjust and sight in. The dot is easy to pick up and very crisp. I’ve put over 1000 rounds through it so far with no issues. Very well built and functions as advertised.

Great price, and quick delivery. Product was as described. Fit on my ZEV slide perfectly, and is rock solid with no movement. I would definitely recommend this product and company. I will be making future purchases myself.

In my view this rmr is the best in the business. It is rugged small and very handsome. Make sure when you order you get the adjustable unit (the one with the buttons on the side) so you can turn off to save battery. Also you can adjust the brightness level. Be aware that there are many fake’s on ebay. Buy from optics planet and you don’t have to worry about that prices are low. It’s a win win

I was looking for a small optic to install on a pistol. After reading many reviews, I decided to go with the RMR. It mounted easily and was quick to sight in. It is built like a tank and should last a very long time. I was a little hesitant about the blue tint on of the glass, but I don’t notice it at all while shooting. Some have complained about have to remove the sight to replace the batteries, but I don’t see it being that big of a deal having to reconfirmed zero every few years.

Great quality product. Fit well on my P10C. Sight was dead on right out of box no adjustment needed. As for durability was a great purchase dropped sight from shoulder height and no damage occurred and zero was still on!

While I still believe rmrs yo be durable as I’ve used them for years with no issues, my type 2 came with a scratched lense. It can only be seen in certain lighting conditions but when it rears it’s ugly head it is very distracting. I’m going ask optics planet to exchange it. Hopefully they take care or if.

Worst piece of junk you’ll ever buy I went through five of these going back and forth with trijicon it took six months before it was resolved I had to settle for the one without batteries when they wouldn’t give my money back customer service is bad and what’s worse is the tech department what’s bad about these is the coating is so dark you can’t see your front sight I have other red dots that are clear and the housing is so thick it gets in the way of your sight picture don’t wast your money on this overpriced highly advertised junk there’s a lot of better products out there the gun world has been brainwashed on the word trijicon
