Overview
Weighing just 1.13 oz, the Steiner MPS-C is a fully enclosed micro red dot sight built on an RMSc footprint for slimline carry pistols, with a 1.6 MOA dot and 11 brightness levels. Despite the Handgun Scopes category label, this is a red dot sight, not a magnified scope.
Steiner sells this as an enclosed-emitter optic, meaning the laser sits behind a sealed window rather than an open reflector, which is meant to keep water, dust and dirt out of the light path. Shake-awake motion sensing and a claimed 13,000 hour battery life at medium brightness are aimed at carry use where the optic sits holstered for long stretches between range trips.
- 1.6 MOA dot, 11 brightness levels
- 1.13 oz, RMSc footprint
- Fully enclosed, sealed emitter
- Shake-awake, up to 13,000 hour battery life
Who it's for
Concealed carry and duty pistol owners who want a compact, enclosed red dot with an RMSc footprint. Not intended as a magnified sight for rifle-length engagement distances despite where the catalog files it.
Pros and cons
- Enclosed emitter resists water, dust and dirt in the light path
- Light at 1.13 oz for all-day carry
- RMSc footprint fits common slimline pistol cuts
- Shake-awake with long claimed battery life
- No magnification, so it will not suit longer defensive or duty distances beyond typical pistol range
- Only a couple of ratings on file so far
Performance notes
The enclosed emitter design routes the laser behind a sealed window, which is meant to keep the dot visible even if the front lens picks up rain, sweat or dust that would blind an open reflex sight. Shake-awake activates the optic on movement and shuts it off automatically after 13 hours of inactivity to preserve the battery.
