Trijicon RMR Type 2, 3.25 MOA Red Dot Sight – OD Green

Shooters searching for a Trijicon RMR Type MOA sight land here for the Type 2 in a 3.25 MOA dot with an OD Green housing, and it is designed with a patented housing shape that absorbs impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens to increase durability. It also carries redesigned and upgraded electronics proven to perform when mounted on slide ride pistols and other small arms. The RMR earned its reputation the hard way, on duty guns that get dropped, banged, and carried every day. This is the version that fixed the few complaints anyone had about the original.

Why the Trijicon RMR Type MOA Red Dot Is a Standard

The Type 2 is suitable for military, law enforcement, concealed carry self defense, target shooting, and hunting applications. That range is unusual for any single optic, and it exists because the housing design solves the problem that kills most miniature red dots, which is stress transferred into the lens under recoil and impact.

The 3.25 MOA dot is the middle of the RMR range and arguably the most versatile. It is large enough to find quickly under stress and small enough to allow precise shot placement at distance without covering the target.

Features of This Adjustable LED Sight

The Trijicon RMR Type MOA sight in Adjustable LED form puts illumination control in the user’s hands.

• Patented housing shape that absorbs impacts and diverts stress away from the lens
• 3.25 MOA dot sized for fast acquisition and precise placement
• Easy to use buttons on both sides of the optic for brightness adjustment
• Toggle between manual and automatic brightness modes as conditions demand
• Power down function for storage without removing the battery
• OD Green housing finish for shooters building a coordinated setup

Specifications and How the Modes Behave

The dot size is 3.25 MOA, meaning it covers roughly 3.25 inches at 100 yards. At typical defensive distances that is a small fraction of a target, and at 25 yards it is under an inch, which is why this size works so well for both speed and accuracy.

Automatic mode functions the same way as the LED RMR version, reading ambient light and setting brightness for you. If you select a manual setting, the sight stays in manual mode for 16.5 hours following the last button press, then defaults back to automatic so the optic is ready for the next task without any input from you.

That automatic reversion is a genuinely thoughtful design decision, because a sight left on a manual setting overnight can be badly mismatched to morning light. Compare it against other options in our optics collection.

Mounting, Use, and Care

Mounting matters as much as the optic itself. Use the correct plate or a directly milled slide, apply the recommended thread locker, and torque the screws to the specified value. The overwhelming majority of red dot failures on pistols trace back to mounting hardware rather than to the optic.

Train with the Trijicon RMR Type MOA dot before trusting it. Finding the dot on presentation is a learned skill, and the fix is repetition plus a consistent draw stroke, not a bigger dot. Suppressor height iron sights that co witness through the window give you a backup and a reference for finding the dot quickly.

Keep the lens clean with a proper lens cloth and avoid solvent overspray when cleaning the pistol. Check the battery on a schedule rather than waiting for a failure, and inspect the mounting screws periodically since recoil works on everything eventually.

The Trijicon RMR Type 2 works on pistols, shotguns, and rifles, and pairs with magnifiers and offset mounts on rifle builds.

Buy once and stop thinking about your optic. That is the value proposition here, and it has held up across a decade of hard use. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
