Trijicon RCR: Assumptions and Excuses

Published on August 4, 2025
Duration: 1:57

This video discusses the perceived short battery life of certain Holosun optics, contrasting it with the longevity of Trijicon RMR Type 2 batteries. The speaker notes a pattern of changing Holosun batteries every 4-5 months, even with shake-awake features and smaller reticles, while RMR Type 2 batteries last around a year. The new Trijicon RCR is highlighted for its larger battery and improved contacts, suggesting better battery retention.

Quick Summary

The speaker observes that Holosun optics, even with shake-awake features, typically require battery changes every 4-5 months. This contrasts with Trijicon RMR Type 2 optics, which last around a year. The new Trijicon RCR is expected to offer better battery life due to its larger battery and improved design elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical battery life for Holosun optics according to the video?

The speaker notes that for various Holosun optics, including those with different reticles and features like shake-awake, battery changes are frequently needed around every four to five months.

How does the battery life of Trijicon RMR Type 2 optics compare to Holosun?

The speaker states they have never had to change a Trijicon RMR Type 2 battery due to it being dead, generally replacing them on a once-a-year cycle, which is significantly longer than the observed 4-5 months for Holosun optics.

What features of the Trijicon RCR suggest improved battery life?

The Trijicon RCR retains the form factor of the Type 2 RMR, which includes a larger battery. Additionally, it features improved electrical contacts and a great seal, all contributing to expectations of better battery retention.

Are there common assumptions about why Holosun batteries die faster?

Yes, the speaker mentions the common assumption that using larger reticles, like circle-only dots or ACSS patterns, requires more power and thus drains the battery faster. However, the speaker questions this, noting Holosun uses smaller batteries.
