How does the Trijicon RCR mount to a firearm slide?

What is the Trijicon RCR made of and who is it designed for?

Constructed from durable 7075 T6 aluminum, the RCR is built to withstand demanding conditions. Its robust design makes it an ideal choice for duty use by law enforcement, military personnel, and concealed carriers who require a reliable and tough optic.
