Holosun EPS Carry vs Trijicon RMR Type 2

The biggest cited difference is the footprint: Holosun lists the EPS-CARRY-RD-2 as an enclosed sight on a Direct Mount K Footprint (with an RMSc-to-K adapter plate included), while Trijicon says the RMR Type 2 has the same mounting footprint as the original RMR Type 1. A slide cut for one is not a slide cut for the other without a plate. Figures are copied from each maker’s product page, checked November 5, 2026.

At a glance

Like for like: the two battery-life figures use different brightness settings and units (Holosun: 50,000 hours at setting 6; Trijicon: over 4 years at setting 4 of 8), so we do not convert or compare them. Holosun’s window and body are printed in the order shown, with no label for length or width. Trijicon prints length x width x height for the whole optic. Both makers print a price on their pages; we list none. We read the Adjustable LED RM06-C-700672 page only; Trijicon lists other RMR Type 2 versions.

Which to pick (on paper)

• If your slide is cut for the K footprint: the EPS Carry. Holosun lists Direct Mount K Footprint and includes an RMSc-to-K adapter plate. Trijicon’s RMR uses the RMR footprint, so it would need a plate or a slide cut for it.
• If your slide is cut for the RMR footprint: the RM06. Trijicon states the same mounting footprint as the RMR Type 1; its page notes that mounting on Glock MOS, Springfield OSP, Walther PDP or H&K VP9 Optics Ready pistols requires a Trijicon RMR mounting kit (AC32064).
• If you want the emitter enclosed: Holosun labels the EPS Carry an Enclosed Pistol Sight. See enclosed vs open emitter. We did not find an enclosed or open label on the RM06 page.
• If weight and size matter: the EPS Carry lists 1.23 oz and a 1.63″ × 1.07″ × 0.95″ body; the RM06 lists 1.2 oz and 1.8 in x 1.1 in x 1 in. Dimensions are printed in different formats, so check them against your slide.
• If you want the larger dot: the RM06 lists 3.25 MOA; the EPS Carry lists 2 MOA.

We have not range-tested these; facts above are from the makers.
