Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary design purpose of the Trijicon RMRcc?

The Trijicon RMRcc was specifically designed for thin-slide pistols, such as 1911 and 2011 style firearms. Its narrower profile prevents the optic from overhanging the slide, which is a common issue with wider standard RMR models on these types of handguns.

How does the Trijicon RMRcc handle brightness adjustments?

The RMRcc offers both automatic brightness adjustment and a manual lock-in mode. The auto-adjust feature can hold a manual setting for 16.5 hours, and a lockout mode prevents accidental changes. Manual settings can be locked by holding an adjustment button for three seconds.

What are the key differences between the Trijicon RMRcc and the standard RMR?

The RMRcc features a narrower footprint for slim slides and a smaller window size compared to the standard RMR. Additionally, the RMRcc's adjustment increments are 3 MOA per tick mark, whereas the standard RMR typically offers 1 MOA per click.

How is the battery replaced on the Trijicon RMRcc?

Battery replacement for the Trijicon RMRcc is performed from the bottom of the optic. This means the sight must be removed from the firearm to access and replace the CR2032 battery.
