TRIJICON RMRcc: The Micro Red Dot Engineered for Concealed Carry
TRIJICON RMRcc (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex, Concealed Carry) represents a purpose-built evolution of the iconic RMR, meticulously scaled and refined for the unique demands of everyday concealed carry. Recognizing the need for a ultra-compact optic that doesn’t sacrifice the legendary Trijicon durability, the RMRcc delivers a full-featured, ruggedized red dot in a footprint designed to disappear on a subcompact or compact pistol slide. It addresses the critical balance between size, performance, and reliability that concealed carriers require, offering a crisp aiming point and faster sight acquisition than iron sights, all within a package that minimizes printing and maximizes comfort. The TRIJICON RMRcc is the solution for the shooter who demands the advantages of a red dot for personal defense but refuses to compromise on the low-profile, snag-free design essential for discreet, all-day carry.
Optimized Compact Profile for Discreet Carry
The defining characteristic of the TRIJICON RMRcc is its thoughtfully reduced dimensions. It is notably narrower and shorter in length than the full-size RMR, resulting in a significantly smaller footprint on the slide of a compact pistol like a Glock 43X/48, SIG P365, or Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. This streamlined profile ensures the optic remains within the width of the average slide, drastically reducing the chance of printing through clothing and eliminating “hot spots” that can dig into the body during all-day carry. Despite its smaller size, it retains the iconic angled hood design for impact protection. The RMRcc also features a uniquely designed battery tray that tucks flush within the housing, creating a smooth, snag-free top profile that is crucial for a clean draw from a holster. Every design choice prioritizes concealment without compromising the core red dot function.
Full-Featured Performance in a Micro Package
Do not let its size fool you; the TRIJICON RMRcc is a fully capable, high-performance optic. It features a crisp, 3.25 MOA red dot reticle—the ideal size for rapid acquisition at defensive distances—powered by a common, top-access CR1632 battery. The top-loading battery compartment is a critical feature, allowing for battery replacement without removing the sight from the slide, thus maintaining zero. It offers eight manual brightness settings to adapt to any lighting condition. The lenses are multi-coated for maximum light transmission and clarity, providing a bright, sharp dot. While its window is smaller than a full-size RMR’s, its optical system is engineered to be highly effective, providing a clear aiming reference that dramatically speeds up target-focused shooting compared to traditional iron sights, especially in stressful situations.
Adapted Durability and Mounting Specificity
Built to the same rugged standards as its larger sibling, the TRIJICON RMRcc is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and is waterproof. Its patented housing geometry is designed to deflect impacts, protecting the lens and internal electronics. However, it is important to note that the RMRcc uses a unique mounting footprint (the “CC” footprint) that is not directly compatible with the standard RMR cut. This was an intentional design decision to allow for the optic’s narrower profile and to ensure maximum slide integrity on thinner, compact pistol frames. This means it requires a dedicated RMRcc cut on the slide or a specific adapter plate. While this adds a step in compatibility, it ensures a perfect, solid fit optimized for the smaller platform, contributing to overall reliability and durability on a carry gun.
The Ultimate Refinement for the Armed Citizen
In summary, the TRIJICON RMRcc is the definitive micro red dot for the serious concealed carrier. It successfully translates the proven reliability of the RMR platform into a size that makes practical sense for all-day, everyday carry on popular compact pistols. It solves the primary objections of bulk and snagging while delivering the tangible benefits of red dot accuracy and speed. For the individual who views their carry gun as an essential tool for protection, the RMRcc offers a responsible upgrade path, enhancing capability without introducing logistical or comfort compromises. It is the optic that proves you don’t need to choose between concealment and cutting-edge performance, providing a trusted, durable aiming system that is truly built for the concealment lifestyle.
