First Look: Steiner MPS-C

Steiner has just released the MPS-C, a compact version of the enclosed MPS red-dot sight.

Pistol optics are strongly trending toward enclosed designs, and for good reason. They simply offer more protection for the emitter than open designs, and that means better reliability, something that’s pretty important for any tool you plan on using to protect yourself. One of the latest enclosed red-dot options on the market is the MPS-C from Steiner.

You know you can trust it, as it features the same internal design as Steiner’s full-size MPS enclosed sight, the MPS-C is just smaller. It mounts via an RMSc footprint and at a minuscule size of 1.46×1.27×1.08 inches and a weight of just 1.13 ounces, it’s perfect for concealed carry. Despite that, Steiner built the aluminum housing to be tough, and its reinforced sidewalls should keep it protected from impacts. Also, for being small, it has a good-sized 20x16mm viewing window.

The MPS-C has a 1.6-MOA red-dot for a reticle, and the sight features 10 manually adjustable daylight brightness settings and 2 night vision settings. It’s powered by a CR1632 battery that can provide 46,125 hours on the lowest brightness setting and 13,000 hours on the medium setting. The shake-awake feature will majorly help prolong the lifespan as well.

The Steiner MPS-C has an MSRP of $575 and it’s available now.
