Does the Trijicon RMR Type 2 fit the Staccato P?
Page last updated . Data compiled September 2026 by the site administrator.
Yes, with an adapter plate: the Staccato → RMR from Dawson Precision.
Adapter plate required
The slide isn't cut for this pattern. One plate adapts it, listed below. The plate supplies the recoil posts the optic sits on.

Same answer forThe Trijicon RMR Type 2 goes on the Staccato C2, Staccato XC and Staccato XL the same way: they share this slide's optic cut.

New to red dots? What footprint, plate, co-witness and the rest mean
Will your iron sights co-witness?With standard-height irons: No co-witness. Standard-height irons sit well below any pistol red dot window and are only usable with the optic off. Suppressor-height sights fix that; a different optic won't. Little or no data: no sight maker publishes co-witness heights for standard-height irons with this pair, so "no co-witness" is the typical case, not a rule. Some optics still show factory-height irons in the lower third or lower fifth of the window, so check your own front sight against the window before you rely on it.With suppressor-height irons: Usually a low co-witness. A plate raises the optic, so suppressor-height irons ride near the bottom of the window: Night Fision, for one, lists its .290 in front sight as a lower 1/5 co-witness with RMR-class optics on GLOCK's MOS plate. A taller plate can drop them out of view, so check the plate's deck height before ordering sights. Estimated: no sight maker publishes heights for this pair, so that's the typical case for this kind of optic, not a guarantee: pistols don't standardize sight and optic heights the way rifles do.
How this slide mounts an opticPlate-mounted across the Staccato line; the DPP and RMR plates are the common competition choices.

What to order, and how to fit it
The fit checker's build sheet for this pair, assuming sights of unknown height. Open it in the fit checker to set your sights, work out screw length from your own caliper readings, or copy it as text.
Rather not do it yourself? Mounting an optic is a short bench job for most gun shops and gunsmiths. Buy the parts under "Parts to order" and print this page for the shop: it lists what is not on file for this pair, so they know which figures to take from the makers, and ends with a blank log for whoever does the work. How an install goes, from the makers' manuals.

Fasteners: which bag
You don't buy these. Screws come with the pistol, the optic and the plate, and they look alike. The thread is tapped into the slide or plate (the optic only has a clearance hole), so they decide the thread, not the optic.
| Joint | Thread | Comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Plate → slide | per plate maker, not on file here | Supplied with the plate. If your pistol shipped with a cover plate, keep its screws apart from these: plate screws and cover-plate screws are different lengths. |
| Optic → plate | per plate maker, not on file here | Supplied with the plate, not the optic. Most mistakes happen here. The screws in the optic's box are cut for mounting straight onto a slide; a plate changes the stack, so the plate maker supplies the right pair. If your plate came without screws, measure before you buy. |
On the bench before you start
- Torque wrench — set to the figure in your optic's manual
- Driver bits — T10 / T15, fully seated so they don't round the head
- Calipers — for the screw length check below
- Blue removable threadlocker — Vibra-Tite VC-3 or Loctite 242. Never red.
- Degreaser — isopropyl or brake cleaner
- A parts tray — you'll have three bags of look-alike screws
- Witness-mark paint or lacquer — so you can see if anything moves later

Where a figure is not published, this sheet says so instead of guessing. Get these from the maker or your gunsmith.
- Plate → slide thread
- Not published where this site could find it. Ask the plate maker, or check the screw bag's label.
- Optic → plate thread
- Not published where this site could find it. Ask the plate maker, or check the screw bag's label.
- Optic screw torque
- Not published for this plate. Use the plate maker's figure, not the optic maker's, which is for a slide.
- Screw length
- Never published here, because it depends on your exact stack. Measure it and test-fit dry.
Sequence
- Clear the pistol. Drop the magazine, lock the slide back, look and feel the chamber, then do it again.
- Remove the factory cover plate and set its screws aside. They are not optic screws.
- Degrease the slide pocket, both faces of the plate and the optic base. Oil under a plate lets it move.
- Seat the plate on the slide, check it sits flat with no rock, and fit its screws with blue threadlocker.
- Torque the plate to spec, bringing the screws up evenly rather than one at a time.
- Seat the optic on the plate's recoil posts, fit the optic screws with blue threadlocker, and torque to the optic spec.
- Let the threadlocker cure before firing (check the bottle; usually a few hours to overnight).
- Confirm zero at your working distance, then re-check torque after the first 100–200 rounds.
Before you fire it
- Screw length checked dry: it must not bottom out on the slide or reach the striker channel.
- Optic sits flat with no rock, and the screws pulled up evenly.
- Torque set with a wrench, not by feel. Witness-mark the screws so movement is visible later.
- Threadlocker cured.
- Function check, then zero confirmed live.
Screw length is the one that hurts
Too long and a screw bottoms out on the slide or reaches the striker channel; too short and it strips under recoil. This sheet gives the thread but can't give the length, which depends on your exact plate and optic stack. Test-fit dry and count threads.

Answered above: co-witness with standard and suppressor-height irons.
Confirm the firearm is unloaded before any work on the slide. Mounting an optic is gunsmithing: stay within your competence and use a gunsmith when a job is past it.
