Learn More With the rise in popularity of red dots on pistols, UTG has introduced the new Reflex Micro Dot as a low-cost alternative to more spendy reflex sights. UTG's Reflex Micro Dot features a 4-MOA red dot that has 6 intensity settings that are adjustable with a single button. The button also allows the user to turn the red dot on or off when the dot is not in use. The on/off button should come in handy since UTG claims the Reflex Micro Dot only squeezes a 240-hour run time from its CR2032 battery on the highest setting. In the press release, UTG states the new Reflex Micro Dot is compatible with Glock MOS and M&P C.O.R.E. plates for the Burris Fastfire/Docter/Insight base pattern as well as UTG's dovetail mounting plates. The Reflex Micro Dot is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and is shipped with a low profile Picatinny plate from the factory. More from UTG: In pursuit of providing our customers with precision in a very small package, UTG is happy to announce the Reflex Micro Dot (RMD), an adaptable micro open reflex sight with a 4.0 MOA red single dot. First and foremost, the RMD is our smallest optic yet. Built upon the proven TS platform, it is inherently shockproof, fogproof, and rainproof. A 6061-T6 aluminum chassis finished in a matte black anodize encloses a wide 23 x 18mm FOV lens and features an adaptable mounting base that is compatible with Glock® MOS (Plate 01 & 05), S&W M&P® C.O.R.E™ (Type 5 spacer plate), and other optics-ready systems which utilize the same plate foot prints. A Low profile MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny plate is included and comes preinstalled out of the box for quick installation on handguns, shotguns, and other suitable long guns equipped with a top Picatinny rail. The RMD features 6 power intensity settings to accommodate for different weather/light conditions and an intuitive 1-click illumination memory which upon activation diverts the user to the last power intensity setting used. Powered by a single CR2032 battery, users can expect a run time of about 240 hours with the RMD on its highest power intensity setting and even more hours when kept on its lower settings. UTG has already developed and launched in tandem with the RMD a handful of dedicated mounts to include an absolute-cowitness mount and rear sight dovetail plates for Glock, SIG, and M&P handguns with slides that are not optics-ready. For those who prefer a greed dot over red, a 4 MOA green single dot model is coming soon.
