Description
Primary Arms took everything people liked about the original RS-10 and fixed the one thing folks kept asking about: the footprint. The RS-10R now sits on the RMR pattern, which is the same as the Holosun 407C/507C cut, so it bolts up to a wide range of optics-ready pistol slides and mounts without hunting for oddball adapter plates. On top of that, it carries a 3 MOA green dot, which a lot of eyes pick up faster than red in daylight.
What Sets the RS-10R Apart
The housing is machined from 7075 aluminum, a tougher alloy than the 6061 you find on a lot of budget optics, and it wears a hardcoat anodized finish. The lens is a 23x19mm multi-coated window that gives you a clean, usable sight picture, and the housing sticks out a hair past the glass to help shield it from drops. At right around 1.1 ounces, it adds almost nothing to your gun's balance, which matters on a carry pistol.
Brightness and Power on the SLx RS-10R
You get 11 brightness settings adjusted with soft-touch buttons on the left side, and the bottom couple are night vision compatible. The top end is genuinely daylight bright, so the green dot stays visible even in harsh noon sun. Power comes from a single side-loading CR1632 battery, meaning you can swap it without pulling the optic and losing your zero. Rated runtime lands up to 40,000 hours, and the AutoLive motion-sensing tech shuts the dot off when the optic sits still, then snaps it back on the instant it feels movement.
Mounting the RS-10R
Because it rides the RMR footprint, this one plays nice with most modern optics-ready slides right out of the gate. It also ships with a low-profile adapter plate for GLOCK MOS slide cuts, so Glock owners can get up and running fast. Primary Arms backs the whole thing with their lifetime warranty, which is a nice safety net on a working optic like this.

Frequently Asked Questions
What footprint does the RS-10R use and will it fit my slide?
The RS-10R uses the RMR footprint, which is the same pattern as the Holosun 407C and 507C. That means it drops directly onto most optics-ready pistol slides cut for that standard. If your slide is milled for an RMR or 507C, you're good to go, and it also ships with a GLOCK MOS adapter plate for Glock owners.
Is the green dot easier to see than a red dot?
A lot of people find green shows up faster against foliage, dirt, and bright backgrounds because the human eye is more sensitive to green wavelengths. The 3 MOA green dot on the RS-10R is a solid all-around size that works well on both pistols and rifles. Combined with the daylight-bright top brightness setting, it stays visible even in harsh sun.
How long does the battery last and do I have to turn it on?
It runs on a single CR1632 battery with a rated runtime up to 40,000 hours. The AutoLive motion-sensing feature means you don't have to switch it on or off; it powers down when the optic sits still and wakes the instant it senses movement. The battery loads from the side, so you can swap it without unmounting the optic or disturbing your zero.
Is the RS-10R durable enough for carry or duty use?
The housing is machined from 7075 aluminum, which is stronger than the 6061 alloy used on many budget optics, and it's finished with a hardcoat anodized coating. The housing extends slightly past the lens to help protect the glass during drops. At about 1.1 ounces it's light enough for daily carry, and Primary Arms backs it with a lifetime warranty.
