TrijiconRMR Type 2 3.25 MOA Adjustable LED Red Dot Sight

I bought a Trijicon RMR Type 2 sold and fulfilled by Amazon prime. It is a great single-plane 1x optic for a pistol. This second gen RMR is smaller than Type 1, and has an improved LED system. I initially put mine on an FN 509. The smaller Type 2 RMR is great for everyday legal CCW. You will not know its there until you use it. I put a second Identical RMR on a GEN 5 M45 9 mm Glock pistol.I found the optic simple to operate, easy to manually adjust to zero, easy to adjust reticle brightness. , and a pleasure to use.Increasing brightness appears to dramatically increase the size of the red dot reticle, dimming the reticle appears to reduce the size of the reticle. On a duty weapon, you will probably want larger than 3.25 MOA, but if you already have the 3.25, adjust the reticle brightness up for a big and bright red dot to make it easy to find the dot when you draw.Acquiring a sight picture with the red dot RMR works best with both eyes open. Just drop the muzzle down as you normally would to find the front sight on the target, and let your dominant eye pick up the red dot in the optic. With your non- dominant eye open you will maximize your peripheral vision and depth perception. The key is Put the dot on the intended point of impact and operate the trigger. Thats it, no need to align front and rear fixed sights. The Type 2 RMR improved the performance of the LED, but consider having a set of suppressorheight tritium phosphor sights on your pistol so, if the battery should fail when need to use your pistol, you can co-witness your fixed sights through the 1x RMR optic.That Trijicon knows the single plane optic is readily apparent when, for example, you see that the RMR obviates the need for hold-over within the effective range of a 9mm or .a 45. pistol. Also, if you are like me, far-sighted and normally need reading glasses to see the front sight of a pistol, you may find as I did that with a 1x RMR optic on a pistol, you can see the front sight fine without need reading glasses. Also, without reading glasses, I can see the red dot in the optic clearly and can see to “co-witness” the fixed sights should the battery loose power.The two attached photographs show silhouette targets that I shot at 15 yards and 75 yards with this RMR mounted on a Gen.5 Glock M45 9 mm pistol.Without a doubt, this optic has greatly improved my marksmanship. Its also a lot of fun to shoot steel targets with, and tighter shot groups on paper targets.I highly recommend the Trijicon RMR Type 2 optic for a handgun. Excellent every-day carry gear. Its made combat tough, too. Its worth the money.

All of my main "squeezes" wear Trijicon RMR's. Sure, I could have more if I had cheaper Chinese versions, but if my, my family's, or others' lives are at stake I trust Trijicon. They live on top of rifle optics, a shotty, and several handguns. I want to try the new one with the top-loading battery, but I have been using an RMR since they first came out. Out of the half-dozen I've purchased, one of them failed approximately 50 rounds into testing. It was sent back and a new item was returned without any problems. Trijicon has great customer service, their products work, are very durable, and are made right here in the USA.

Some of the reviews make this look sketchy.But i see one consistent in them.It was one seller and probably with the best price that was selling the fakes.That seller has been kicked off.I bought mine where the seller is amazon.It came, and passed all of the various "is it a fake" tests.The final, register it with trijicon.Result = Pass!I bought this to replace a vortex that came with my 509, that vortex wouldn't hold a zero to save it's own life.I feel like it was just a bad one, however i needed something i could trust my life with, so i decided to go with the trusted trijicon.It's a pretty neat sight, so far the auto brightness feature is working well for me.It's also kind of a pain to shut the site off, i can imagine it would be impossible if you didn't have a strong enough grip to press both buttons at the same time.It's one solid unit.

Just what I needed. I’m over 50 now and I have trouble focusing on iron sights and a distant target at the same time, especially in dark environments (even though had night sights). This sight solves my problem. I can see the red dot clearly in any light and at any distance.

Great price compared to local retailers. Skeptical this would be a fake or used optic. Upon review and comparison to other Trijicon optics I own. 100% authentic and new. Registered like every other Trijicon owned. I’m content!
