Built for competition shooters who want a proven large-window RMR dot, not a premium price tag
The C&H Precision COMP was built around one insight: shooters track the dot under the pressure of a timer or a defensive draw, and a tiny tube fights you every run. The COMP's 27mm lens gives you the lateral window real estate to pick up the dot fast and track transitions without fishing. Machined from a single piece of 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, rated for +P and +P+ recoil, and sealed to IPX7, it delivers a competition-class sight picture in a housing that stays put on a belt-carried duty pistol.
The COMP uses the industry-standard Trijicon RMR footprint, which means it drops onto virtually any optics-ready slide, milled slide, or adapter plate already built around that mounting pattern. If your pistol or mount currently accepts a Trijicon RMR, it accepts the COMP.
COMP vs. the COMP Max: Why the Original Platform Still Makes Sense
C&H Precision debuted the COMP at SHOT Show 2023 and later released the COMP Max as an evolution of the platform. Both remain in production. The COMP keeps its place in the lineup for specific reasons:
- Roughly $90 lower price than the COMP Max at 2A Daddy's current pricing, a meaningful delta when building out multiple rigs
- 3 MOA dot (the COMP Max runs a tighter 2 MOA), which trades a touch of distant precision for faster dot pickup under time pressure
- CR1632 battery (the COMP Max uses a larger CR2032); rated 50,000-hour battery life is identical on both
- 27mm lens window (the COMP Max runs 28mm); both give competition-class lateral visibility versus a tube-style micro red dot
RMR footprint, 7075-T6 single-piece housing, +P and +P+ recoil rating, and IPX7 waterproof rating are consistent between the two platforms.
Pricing context. The COMP launched with a $485 MSRP at SHOT Show 2023, as documented in Gun Mag Warehouse's Mag Life review. At 2A Daddy's current $249.95 for the standard Red, the COMP has come down roughly 48% from launch pricing. That kind of post-launch compression on a well-regarded RMR-footprint optic is uncommon, and it makes the current window a buying moment worth noting.
Key Features
- 27mm Lens Window. A wider lateral sight picture than a standard tube-style micro red dot, built for shooters who are tired of fishing for the dot under a timer or in a defensive draw.
- 3 MOA Precision Dot with Optional Multi-Reticle. The standard 3 MOA dot balances distance accuracy and fast pickup. Multi-Reticle variants add a dot-plus-circle configuration for faster close-range acquisition.
- RMR Footprint. Drops onto any optics-ready slide, custom-milled slide, or adapter plate cut for the Trijicon RMR pattern, the most widely supported footprint in the pistol optic market.
- 50,000-Hour Battery Life. A single CR1632 cell runs the optic for over 5.7 years of continuous use on the lowest setting.
- Motion-Activated Shake Awake. The COMP powers on instantly when it detects movement. No button press, no wake-up lag, no dead dot when you present the pistol.
- 10 Brightness Settings with NV Compatibility. Levels 1 and 2 are night vision compatible for low-light and NV-equipped users.
- Tactile Audible Adjustments. Elevation and windage adjustment clicks are tactile and audible, a meaningful difference from silent-click optics in the same price tier when zeroing in the field.
- Rated for +P and +P+ Loads. Built to survive high-pressure defensive and duty ammunition.
- IPX7 Waterproof. Fully submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Rain, mud, and weather-proof.
- 7075-T6 Single-Piece Housing. CNC-machined from one piece of aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum rigidity and durability.
- Made in the USA. Manufactured domestically by C&H Precision Weapons in Richmond Hill, Georgia.
- C&H Precision Optics Warranty. The metal housing and optical glass are covered for the life of the product against defects in materials. The LED illumination system is warranted for 5 years from the manufacture date. Registration with C&H Precision is required to validate.
Who the COMP Is For
Competition Shooters
USPSA, 3-Gun, Steel Challenge, and action pistol disciplines where the 27mm window shaves meaningful time off target transitions and the 3 MOA dot picks up fast when the buzzer goes off. The COMP earned a strong following in practical shooting circles after its 2023 launch for exactly these reasons.
Duty and Professional Use
Law enforcement, armed security, and professional users who want a competition-style window without trading away the ruggedness of a duty optic. The +P and +P+ recoil rating, IPX7 waterproof seal, and 7075-T6 single-piece housing mean this will not be the weakest link on a duty belt.
Weekend Range and Practical Shooters
If you want a large-window RMR-footprint optic without the premium price of the COMP Max, the COMP is the natural fit. At 1.0 oz and 3 MOA, it sits comfortably on full-size and compact optics-ready platforms without dominating the slide.
Night Vision Operators
Brightness levels 1 and 2 are NV compatible, making the COMP viable on an NVG-equipped host platform without washing out the reticle.

Compatibility
The C&H Precision COMP uses the Trijicon RMR footprint, which is supported by:
- Optics-ready slides from Glock MOS, CZ, Sig, HK, Smith & Wesson, Walther, Taurus, and other major manufacturers. Check your slide's specific optic cut, since RMR is the most commonly supported but not universal.
- RMR-cut adapter plates, including C&H's own V4 MIL/LEO line
- Custom-milled RMR-footprint slides
- PCC and pistol-caliber host mounts designed for the RMR pattern

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The COMP was designed for USPSA, 3-Gun, Steel Challenge, and action pistol disciplines. Its 27mm lens window gives shooters a wider lateral sight picture for faster target transitions, and the 3 MOA dot offers fast pickup under timed conditions while remaining usable at 25-yard accuracy distances.
The COMP Max has a larger 28mm lens (vs. 27mm on the COMP), a tighter 2 MOA dot (vs. 3 MOA), and uses a CR2032 battery (vs. CR1632). Both share the RMR footprint, 7075-T6 aluminum housing, 50,000-hour rated battery life, +P and +P+ recoil rating, and IPX7 waterproofing. The COMP runs at a lower price point.
The C&H Precision COMP is made in the USA. C&H Precision Weapons manufactures its optics domestically at its facility in Richmond Hill, Georgia.
