[Discussion] Trijicon SRO Gets Green Dot Option With 2.5 MOA and RMR Footprint

Trijicon Adds Green Dot Option to SRO Line

Trijicon has expanded its Specialized Reflex Optic lineup with a green-dot SRO configured with a 2.5 MOA aiming point. The new version is offered in two anodized finishes, Matte Black and Coyote Brown, and retains the same core format as the existing SRO models aimed at competitive and target shooters.

The SRO remains centered on a large, unobstructed field of view and parallax-free glass, features that have made the optic a common choice for pistol-mounted competition use.

Why Trijicon Is Offering Green

According to Trijicon, the move responds to customer demand for a green-dot variant. The company says the human eye is most sensitive to green wavelengths, which can make the dot appear brighter and easier to acquire in daylight, even at lower brightness settings.

Trijicon also states that green illumination can be easier to see in fog, haze, and visually busy backgrounds. The company further notes potential benefits for reduced eye strain during long shooting sessions and improved clarity for some users with astigmatism or red-green color blindness.

Controls, Brightness, and Battery System

The optic uses an LED system with eight brightness settings, including two night-vision-compatible modes and one super-bright setting, plus an automatic brightness mode. Two button-lock functions are included: Lock-Out mode secures the auto-brightness setting for applications such as carry or hunting, while Lock-In mode holds a user-selected brightness level for competition use.

Power comes from a single top-loading CR2032 battery, allowing replacement without removing the optic from the slide. Trijicon rates battery life at two years of continuous operation at setting 4 of 8.

Mounting and Shared Footprint

The green-dot SRO uses the same footprint as the Trijicon RMR, allowing installation on RMR-cut slides without additional hardware in many cases. Trijicon says pistols using Glock MOS, Springfield OSP, Walther PDP, or H&K VP9 Optics Ready systems will require the company’s SRO mounting kit, listed as AC32085.

The optic is also compatible with suppressor-height iron sights, preserving co-witness options on many handgun setups.

Construction and Adjustment Details

The housing is built from 7075-T6 forged aluminum and is rated waterproof to 10 feet, or 3 meters. Windage and elevation adjustments are tool-less, with 1 MOA per click and 150 MOA of total adjustment travel.

Other listed specifications include 1x magnification, dimensions of 2.2 by 1.3 by 1.4 inches, and a weight of 1.6 ounces.

Models and Pricing

Trijicon lists the green-dot SRO in Matte Black under model number SRO2-C-2500027 and in Coyote Brown anodized under model number SRO2-C-2500035.

MSRP is set at $853 for the black version and $898 for the coyote brown model.
