Overview
The C+H MAX is an RMSc-footprint red dot for pistols, with a larger window for faster target pickup and a switch between a 2.5 MOA dot and a 24 MOA circle-dot reticle. Suits concealed carry and range shooters who already have or plan to buy a compatible mounting plate.
This is a micro reflex sight, not a rifle scope, despite the category placement. It ships without a mounting adapter for most slide cuts, so buyers who need one should budget for that plate separately before mounting day. The one-piece 7075 aluminum housing and IPX7 rating target duty-grade recoil rather than casual plinking only.
- RMSc footprint for broad pistol compatibility
- 2.5 MOA dot or 24 MOA multi-reticle circle
- Shake to Wake automatic activation
- 7075 aircraft aluminum, shockproof and IPX7
Who it's for
Concealed carry shooters and pistol owners running an RMSc-cut slide who want a bright, adjustable reticle with automatic wake-on-movement. Less suited to buyers who want a plug-and-play box with every mounting part included.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who mounted it on RMSc-cut pistols like the Sig P365 called setup straightforward and praised the clear sight picture and durable housing. The recurring complaint is that a mounting adapter plate is not included, so several buyers had to order one separately before they could test the sight properly, and one described the included instructions as poorly detailed.
