Trijicon RCR vs Trijicon RMR HD

Published on August 4, 2023
Duration: 1:00

This video features Lucas Botkin and Garrett from T.REX ARMS conducting a performance comparison between the Trijicon RCR and RMR HD red dot sights on handguns. They utilize a standardized drill with shot timers to objectively measure performance, discussing factors like optic brightness, zeroing, and shooter familiarity. The analysis provides practical insights for choosing between these two popular pistol optics.

Quick Summary

T.REX ARMS compares the Trijicon RCR and RMR HD red dot sights in a timed shooting drill. Garrett achieved faster times with the RCR, while Lucas Botkin's RMR HD performance was affected by incorrect brightness settings. The choice depends on preference for closed vs. open emitters and specific features.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Trijicon RCR and RMR HD?

The RCR is a closed-emitter design, offering more protection, while the RMR HD is an open-emitter optic with features like a top-loading battery and forward-looking light sensor. Both utilize the RMR footprint.

How did the Trijicon RCR and RMR HD perform in the T.REX ARMS drill?

Garrett achieved a faster time with the RCR (5.77s) than the RMR HD (6.50s). Lucas Botkin's RMR HD run (6:02) was affected by forgetting to dim the optic, and his RCR run was slightly slower (6:05).

Which optic is better, the Trijicon RCR or RMR HD?

The video suggests performance can be similar, with Garrett favoring the RCR for speed in this drill. However, user error (optic brightness) impacted Lucas's RMR HD time, and the choice may depend on preference for closed vs. open emitter designs and specific features.

What factors influence red dot sight performance on a pistol?

Performance is influenced by optic features (emitter type, brightness controls), environmental conditions (ambient light), shooter skill, and familiarity with the equipment. Proper zeroing and brightness adjustment are crucial for accuracy and speed.
