Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Trijicon SRO optic is not powering on?

First, try replacing the battery with a brand new one. If that doesn't work, carefully inspect the small brass piece that connects the battery to the cap for any damage. If it's broken, contact Trijicon customer support for assistance and replacement parts.

What are the recommended mounting procedures for Trijicon optics?

When mounting Trijicon optics, use the correct length screws for your specific optic and firearm. Apply Loctite (like 243) to the threads, torque the screws to the manufacturer's specified pound-force (e.g., 15 in-lbs), and allow the Loctite to cure for at least 24 hours.

Why did the user's Trijicon RCR optic detach from their firearm?

The user concluded that the issue was likely due to using short screws intended for a different optic model on their RCR. This improper screw length likely prevented proper seating and secure attachment to the firearm's mounting plate.

What batteries does Trijicon recommend for their optics?

Trijicon recommends using Energizer batteries for their optics. The user in this video also confirmed they have been using Energizer batteries without issue prior to the problem.
