The Meprolight MPO-DS delivers precision red dot performance in a compact profile designed for modern firearms platforms. This Israeli-engineered optic combines battle-tested reliability with advanced LED technology for consistent target acquisition across varied conditions.
What Makes This Different
The MPO-DS features Meprolight's proprietary LED system that maintains consistent brightness across temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F. Unlike standard red dots that fade in harsh conditions, this optic automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light while preserving battery life. The reinforced aluminum housing withstands impacts up to 1,000G, exceeding military drop test standards by 200%.
Key Features
- 3.5 MOA red dot reticle optimized for rapid target engagement
- Compact 0.82" x 0.58" footprint fits micro pistol mount patterns
- Auto-brightness sensor with 8 manual intensity settings
- Single CR2032 battery provides 20,000+ hours continuous operation
- Parallax-free design maintains zero from 10 yards to infinity
- IPX7 waterproof rating for complete submersion protection
- Tool-free windage and elevation adjustments with audible clicks
Field testing demonstrates the MPO-DS maintains zero through 5,000+ rounds of centerfire ammunition without drift. The low-profile design clears standard height iron sights for absolute co-witness backup. Competition shooters report faster split times compared to iron sights, while law enforcement agencies document improved hit ratios in low-light scenarios. The scratch-resistant lens coating resists fouling from powder residue and environmental debris.
