Ed Brown 1911 10mm LS10 Review

2 of 6

The Trijicon RMR is set low enough on the slide that the tall suppressor-style sights can be used through the optic’s window. The sights have tritium inserts for use in low light.

The mount for the Trijicon RMR is machined into the slide just forward of the rear sight. Trijicon’s Ruggedized Miniature Reflex optic has been a very successful product for them. It wasn’t the first red dot of this size, but it seemed to bring red dots of this size into the mainstream. It features a very strong aluminum housing. Suddenly, everybody (not just competition shooters) realized that there were tiny red dots not just small enough to mount on pistol slides, but tough enough to handle the recoil forces, which can be as high as 10,000 Gs.

Trijicon doesn’t publicize this much, but currently it’s on the second generation of RMR. The Gen 2 sights feature some internal connection upgrades. Trijicon is local to me and I know people who work there, and learned that apparently the reason for the upgrades had to do with SOF-D (Delta Force) managing to break a few RMRs through, shall we say, repeated and vigorous use.

Ed Brown 1911 10mm LS10
The Trijicon RMR has an adjustable brightness LED 3.25 MOA dot and an aluminum housing designed specifically to handle impacts.

There are several different versions of the RMR. The model that comes standard on the LS10 is the RM06, Trijicon’s battery-powered LED sight with adjustable brightness settings, which features a 3.25 MOA dot, a size that offers a good balance between speed and precision. Windage and elevation adjustments are one MOA per click, which might be a bit coarse for a rifle but work just fine for a handgun. FYI, the suggested retail on the RMR alone is $699.

As I mentioned, the RMR sits low enough on the slide that the tall iron sights can be seen through the window. The RMR is a great optic, but if something has batteries, at some point they will die.
