The trend of small, enclosed dot sights was started in 2018 when Aimpoint introduced the first Acro model<\/strong>, effectively creating a new category of red dot pistol optics. These dots are insanely popular, since no dirt, flying debris or heavy rain<\/strong> can block the LED emitter<\/strong> from doing its job.<\/p>\n Sturdy, military standard build<\/strong> of Steiner MPS endures the hardest recoils<\/strong>, all the way up to 1000 gs<\/strong>. Apart from the soft rubber +\/- controls<\/strong> on the side, Steiner MPS red dot is entirely made of metal<\/strong>. The heavy-duty construction is enforced with thick sidewalls and protective metal hood above the recessed 20mm x 16mm lens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The outstanding feature is the top-mounted battery compartment<\/strong>. That makes Steiner the first company to manufacture an enclosed micro dot with this battery placement. It leaves more space for controls on the side<\/strong>. The advantages of top and side-placed battery compartments are obvious. Steiner MPS users can swap the CR1632 coin<\/strong> without detaching the sight from the pistol.<\/p>\n The CR1632 battery can last 13.000 hours<\/strong> on medium brightness. Illumination will shut off automatically after 13 hours<\/strong>, preserving some battery power for forgetful users.<\/p>\n Nitrogen-sealing protects the 3.3 MOA emitter<\/strong> and the interior lens surface from moisture and water damage. Battle-proven construction won’t fail you come hell or high water. Literally – you can submerge the MPS down to 10 meters<\/strong> in water and it will be just fine.<\/p>\n The 3.3 MOA dot is illuminated in red<\/strong>. The brightness intensity can be manipulated manually<\/strong>, with +\/- push buttons on the side<\/strong>. All in all, there are 8 levels<\/strong> (6 day-bright and 2 for night use). Users can also lock down the selected setting<\/strong> by pressing both controls at the same time.<\/p>\n The 1x magnification<\/strong> guarantees smooth, both eyes open operation and complete situational awareness<\/strong> at all times.<\/p>\n As for the mounting<\/strong>: Steiner MPS red dot has the same footprint as the aforementioned Aimpoint Acro<\/strong><\/a>. Good news for sure, since there are plenty of suitable adapters on the market. Steiner also supplied a Docter adapter plate<\/strong> in the box with the product. With the adapter attached, the optic weighs 94 grams (that’s 58 grams for the MPS sight on its own).<\/p>\n [adrotate banner=”3″]<\/p>\n This enclosed red dot has all accessories that you’ll ever need<\/strong> included in the packaging.<\/p>\n The warranty on this model is 10 years from purchase<\/strong> (2 years on electronics); more than what most manufacturers of red dots can offer.<\/p>\n Steiner’s<\/em> MPS (Micro Pistol Sight) Red Dot costs just under \u20ac500 <\/strong>and is well worth the spend. It’s well-built, yet lighter<\/strong> than Aimpoint Acro models. The roof-mounted LED emitter doesn’t obstruct the view-through<\/strong>.\u00a0 The added bonus is Steiner’s Germany-based factory<\/strong><\/a> and top-notch service department<\/strong>. You can be sure that this optic will serve you for a long time.<\/p>\n![\"Steiner](\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Steiner-Micro-Pistol-Sight-1024x387.png\")
