Trijicon has updated its RMR Type 2 miniature reflex sight lineup with a new 3.25-MOA green-dot model, pairing the platforms established durability with a reticle color aimed at better daylight visibility. The company positions the green emitter as an option that can reduce eye fatigue and improve contrast in bright conditions, particularly for users who struggle with red-dot washout or certain color-vision issues. The optic is offered at a listed MSRP of $810, extending the RMR Type 2 family without changing its core design language. The housing remains the hallmark. The RMR Type 2 uses a forged 7075-T6 aluminum body shaped to divert impact forces away from the lens, an approach designed to preserve zero after drops or hard use. At roughly 1.2 ounces, the optic targets duty-grade strength at low mass for handguns, carbines, and shotguns. Those construction traits carry directly into the green-dot variant, so buyers can expect the same structural resilience as other Type 2 units. Trijicon frames the change in reticle color as more than cosmetic. Because the human eye is highly sensitive to green wavelengths, the dot can often be run at lower brightness for the same apparent visibility. Running lower settings ties directly to endurance. The electronics suite includes a Battery Conservation Mode that, after extended inactivity (16.5 hours), adjusts brightness to ambient conditions to help stretch runtime. Power comes from a single CR2032 cell, with listed life up to two years at mid-level brightness, aligning the new emitter option with the platforms reputation for long service intervals. Usability features mirror what RMR users expect. Windage and elevation offer audible, tactile clicks for quick zeroing. The sight retains compatibility with night-vision devices for passive-aiming workflows, and the 3.25-MOA dot sizeidentified by the maker as a popular general-purpose choiceseeks to balance speed and precision across handgun and rifle applications. A Button Lock Out Mode is available to prevent accidental brightness changes once users set their preferred level, addressing administrative control needs in duty or competition contexts. In practical terms, the feature set targets three everyday problems. First, visibility in high-glare environments: the green dot is intended to remain crisp against bright or cluttered backgrounds where red can sometimes bloom or wash out. Second, endurance: the combination of efficient acquisition at lower output and the conservation logic designed into the electronics aims to maximize life from a common CR2032. Third, survivability: the forged 7075-T6 body and lens-protective geometry are meant to keep the optic running after impacts that might sideline lighter-duty designs. Trijicon positions the update as a straightforward color expansion that preserves the rest of the proven package. For buyers, the choice boils down to use case and visual preference. Shooters operating long hours in bright sunor those who find green easier to discriminateget a factory option without giving up the ruggedness and controls that define the Type 2 line. With the same footprint and interface as its red-dot counterparts, the new model slots into existing RMR mounts and workflows, minimizing transition costs while broadening the reticle palette for mixed fleets or agency standardization.
