Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable LED Superb 3.25

Description

The Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable is the RMR Type 2 with a 3.25 MOA green dot rather than the usual red, with button controlled brightness and an automatic mode. Green is not a styling choice on a reflex sight. It changes how the dot reads to your eye, and it costs you something in return. Part RM06-C-700800.

Your Eye Is Built For Green

Human daylight vision peaks in sensitivity around the middle of the visible spectrum, which is green. The practical result is that a green dot and a red dot of identical output do not look identical: the green one looks brighter and sharper to most people.

That is the core argument for the Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable. Shooters who have found a red dot slightly washed out in bright daylight, or slightly soft at the edges, often find that a green one simply reads cleaner without any change in settings.

Backgrounds Matter Too

A red dot can get lost against red and brown. Brick, rust, autumn foliage, a red vehicle, a brake light. A green dot separates cleanly from all of those, and green is also far less common as a background colour on a range than people assume once the grass is behind the berm rather than in front of it.

Against green foliage the reverse is true and a red dot wins. If you shoot mostly in woodland, think about that before choosing. For most other environments the Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable gives you a dot that is harder to lose.

The Cost Is Battery Life

This is the honest trade and it is significant. Trijicon rates this model at two years of continuous use at setting four of eight. The red 3.25 MOA version of the same optic is rated at over four years under the same conditions.

Green LEDs draw more current to produce their output, and that halves the runtime. It does not make the Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable unreliable, but it does mean changing the cell annually rather than treating it as a four year item, and it is worth knowing before you buy rather than after.

Everything Else Is A Standard RMR Type 2

Same forged aluminium housing with the patented shape that routes impact around the lens. Same Type 2 electronics revision built to survive the reciprocating shock of a slide. Same 1.2 ounce weight, same footprint, same one minute clicks.

So the Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable is not a different optic with a green dot bolted in. It is the same proven sight with a different emitter, which means every plate, mount and holster that works with an RMR works with this one.

Why Shooters Choose The Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable

• Green reads brighter and sharper to the human eye than red at the same output
• Separates cleanly from brick, rust, autumn colour and brake lights
• Button control with an automatic mode to fall back on
• Type 2 electronics built to survive slide mounted use
• Patented housing shape that diverts impact away from the lens
• Uses the standard RMR mounting footprint

Colour Vision And Astigmatism

Shooters sometimes ask whether a green dot helps with astigmatism. It generally does not. Astigmatism distorts a point source regardless of its colour, and the usual remedies are a larger dot, a lower brightness setting, or corrective lenses rather than a different emitter colour.

Colour vision is a different matter. A minority of people genuinely see one colour more readily than the other, and if you know that about yourself it is the strongest single reason to choose the Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable or to stay with red. Buy the one you can actually see.

Brightness Settings

Buttons on the sides set brightness by hand, toggle between manual and automatic, and power the optic down for storage. Left alone it behaves like the automatic version. Choose a manual level and it holds for sixteen and a half hours before reverting to automatic.

Given the shorter runtime, powering the Trijicon RMR Type 2 Green Dot Adjustable down when it is going into a safe for a season is worth doing rather than an optional nicety.

A Mount Is Not Included

The optic ships as an optic. On a pistol with a factory optics cut you need the correct RMR pattern plate for your slide. On an uncut pistol the slide must be milled or you fit a rear sight mount. On a rifle or shotgun you need a picatinny mount at the height you want.
