Welcome to my master list of all micro reflex red dot sights suitable for mounting on pistols/handguns. Updated: May 12, 2021, 75 optics, 90 reticles.
The popularity of pistol reflex red dot sights has skyrocketed in the past decade for many reasons:
- Low light: illuminated dots greatly outperform iron sights in low light or darkness conditions.
- Focus on the target: unlike iron sights which require you to focus on the front sight post, with a red dot sight, you focus on the target.
- Both eyes open: shooting with both eyes open is far easier with a red dot sight, and both eyes open means greater situational awareness.
- Forgiving: reflex sights permit a much great range of eyeball placement behind the pistol than iron sights.
- Speed: putting the dot on the target is simpler and faster than establishing iron sight alignment and sight picture.
- Precision: At longer distances, red dots provide a more precise aiming point than iron sights.
Battery life
All of the micro reflex red dot sights on this list feature “CR” batterries of varying sizes. CR indicates a coin-style 3-volt non-rechargeable lithium battery. CR batteries typically have a shelf life of 7 to 10 years. The numbers following the CR indicate dimensions: CR2032 is 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick. CR1632 are 16mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick.
Reflex red dot sights can have tremendous battery life, measured in thousands of hours or even years. I’ve included manufacturer claims regarding battery life in the feature descriptions of the optics, but I caution against treating them as apples-to-apples metrics when comparing optics. For those with particular concerns about battery life, the Holosun solar-assisted and Trijicon dual illuminated reflex red dots deserve special consideration.
Optics with bottom-loading batteries must be removed to change the batteries (but these also tend to be the lowest profile designs). Some optics with top-loading batteries require a small screw driver to change batteries, most have a tool-less screw-on battery compartment lid. Side-loading battery trays do not require tools to change batteries.
Suitability for defensive use
For carry or defensive use, your pistol’s red dot needs to be operating when you draw or reach for your handgun. Features to look for in a micro reflex red dot sight for carry or defensive use include:
- Long battery life: battery life varies widely across the micro red dots.
- Auto-bright: some sights will automatically adjust dot brightness to match ambient light levels. A daylight-bright dot may be blindingly bright in a dark environment.
- Low profile: Having functional iron sights helps you more quickly pick up the dot in the sight window (and provides back-up in the event the sight fails).
- Low battery indicator: some sights indicate a low battery condition by blinking. For a defensive handgun, you absolutely do not want to find yourself with a dead optic!
For duty or defensive use, certain types of Auto-off and Auto-bright features may be undesirable. If an optic has Auto-off, check to see if it has Motion-on or a mode that disables Auto-off so you can be sure that your optic is turned on when you need it. Note: some optics with Auto-off override the Motion-on feature (meaning, after N hours of no movement, a button must be pressed to turn the optic back on). Some optics with Auto-bright come with a cap that when placed over the optic turn it off: in total darkness, this type of optic will not illuminate.
In the feature descriptions in the product listing below, Carry-Suitable means the optic has following feature capability:
- Auto-off is not present, or can be disabled, or does not override Motion-on
- Optic does not turn off in total darkness
Mounting a micro reflex sight to handgun
The common ways to mount a micro reflex red dot to a handgun include:
- Rail: requires a Weaver/picatinny rail mounting location, such as found on some versions of the Ruger 22/45.
- Rear sight replacement: requires a tool to remove the rear sight and to press the mounting adapter into the rear sight dovetail. You must purchase a mounting adapter specific to your handgun and micro reflex red dot sight. This approach will work with most existing pistols without making permanent changes.
- Factory slide-cut with mounting plate: A number of “optics ready” pistols, such as Glock MOS or the S&W M&P CORE, now feature factory slide cuts specifically for mounting micro reflex red dot sights. Typically you must use a mounting plate that has one set of holes to mount to the slide and another set of holes to accept the red dot sight.
- Slide melt-in: Requires ordering a pre-cut and tapped replacement slide or gunsmith services to mill a cut into your existing slide and tap with mounting holes for your desired optic pattern. From the factory, SIG Sauer P320RX pistols melt-in the SIG Romeo1 micro reflex sight. By eliminating the need for an adapter plate, slide melt-in provides the lowest profile mounting option, often enabling iron sight co-witness. Slide melt is generally considered the most desirable mounting option. There are many gunsmith shops online that specialize in melt-in milling work at surprisingly reasonable prices (often less than $150).
Most pistol makers now offer “optics ready” models with factory slide cuts, but Glock MOS is the most common handgun with a slide cut for a micro reflex sight. Glock has two sets of adapter plates, depending on the width of the slide: regular (plates 01 to 04) and wide (plates 05 to 08). Each set has four adapter plates, depending on the mounting pattern of the optic. Other handguns with factory slide cuts work similarly. The feature descriptions in the list below identify which of the four common mounting patterns each micro reflex red dot sight uses:
- Docter / Vortex Venom / Vortex Viper / Burris FastFire / EOTech MRDS / Meopta / Kahles (Glock MOS 01/05 plates)
- Trijicon / Holosun 507 (Glock MOS 02/06 plates)
- C-More / Vortex Razor (Glock MOS 03/07 plates)
- Leupold / Shield RMS / JPoint (Glock MOS 04/08 plates)
The following sights use proprietary mounting patterns that require non-standard mounting plates:
- Aimpoint ACRO
- Nikon Spur
- SIG Romeo1
I was unable to find information about the mouting pattern for the Kahles Helia micro red dot, but you must select either picatinny or a mounting plate when ordering.
