Trijicon RMR® Type 2 Reflex Sight (Green Dot) Introduced for 2026 [Video]
The Trijicon RMR® Type 2 Platform Explained
Trijicon expands its flagship miniature reflex sight lineup for 2026 with the introduction of the Trijicon RMR® Type 2 Reflex Sight (Green Dot). Built on the same proven Type 2 platform trusted across military, law enforcement, and commercial markets, the green-dot configuration delivers identical durability and functionality while offering an alternative reticle color many users have long requested.
This video provides an educational overview of why Trijicon added a green-dot option and what distinguishes it from existing red-dot RMR Type 2 models.
Why Trijicon Added a Green Dot Option
The Trijicon RMR® Type 2 Reflex Sight (Green Dot) was developed in response to consistent customer demand rather than a change in design philosophy. As discussed in the video, many users report that the human eye picks up green more easily than red, particularly in bright conditions.
Some shooters with astigmatism also perceive less flare or distortion with a green dot compared to a red dot. While dot color preference remains subjective, the green-dot RMR Type 2 offers an alternative visual option without altering the core RMR experience.
Trijicon RMR® Type 2 Green Dot — Features and Specifications
The green-dot RMR Type 2 mirrors the feature set of Trijicon’s red-dot models, with differences limited to LED color and lens coatings.
Key features include:
- 3.25 MOA green dot
- Forged aluminum Type 2 housing
- Bottom-mounted CR2032 battery
- Approximately two years of battery life
- Nine illumination settings, including:
- One super-bright setting
- Two night-vision compatible settings
- Standard RMR footprint for broad mounting compatibility
The optic uses lens coatings optimized specifically for the green LED while maintaining familiar RMR controls and adjustment methods.
Battery Life and Illumination Control
Trijicon notes that green LEDs require slightly more power than red, resulting in a modest reduction in battery life compared to red-dot RMR Type 2 models. Even so, the optic is rated for up to two years of continuous operation on a single CR2032 battery.
Illumination is controlled through the same button interface found on other RMR Type 2 optics, allowing users to adjust brightness across a wide range of lighting conditions.
Who the RMR® Type 2 Green Dot Is Designed For
The green-dot RMR Type 2 is intended for users who:
- Prefer green over red for visual clarity
- Experience dot distortion with red optics
- Want a green-dot option without changing platforms
- Already run slides or mounts cut for the RMR footprint
Rather than replacing the red-dot RMR, Trijicon positions the green-dot model as an additional choice within the Type 2 lineup.
Final Thoughts
With the release of the Trijicon RMR® Type 2 Reflex Sight (Green Dot), Trijicon expands one of the most widely adopted miniature reflex sights without changing what made it successful. The green-dot configuration offers an alternative visual option while preserving the durability, footprint, and functionality that define the RMR Type 2.
