Frequently Asked Questions

What are common issues reported with the Trijicon RMR Type 1 optic?

Common issues include flickering due to battery contact redundancies, especially on certain pistol slide cuts like Glock MOS. Additionally, insufficient screw hole depth on some slides can lead to the optic coming loose, requiring careful mounting.

How does the Trijicon RMR Type 1 adjust for zeroing?

The RMR Type 1 features 1 MOA per click adjustments. For pistol zeroing at 25 yards, this translates to a 0.25 MOA adjustment per click. The adjustment clicks can be subtle and difficult to feel or hear, requiring close attention.

What is the recommended round count for assessing RMR Type 1 durability?

The reviewer has personally tested the Trijicon RMR Type 1 up to approximately 6,000 rounds without issues. While some reports suggest zero chasing may occur between 6,000 and 10,000 rounds, the reviewer's experience has been positive.

What are the benefits of using a red dot sight on a pistol?

Red dot sights on pistols offer faster target acquisition, a larger field of view, and improved target tracking compared to iron sights. They can make shooting easier and more efficient, though they require training to adapt to the sight picture and potential holdover.
