Overview
The Meprolight M21 Black Red Dot Reflex Sight, originally developed for the Israel Defense Force (IDF), is a self-illuminated optical system leveraging Meprolight’s established tritium technology. This optic remains in active service with the IDF and various military and law enforcement entities globally, a testament to its operational reliability and performance. It is engineered for rapid target acquisition and consistent utility across diverse environmental conditions.
Key Features
Self-Illuminated Day/Night Operation
The M21 employs a dual-illumination system, utilizing fiber optics for daytime brightness and tritium for low-light and nighttime conditions. This autonomous system eliminates the requirement for batteries, ensuring continuous reticle visibility and operational readiness without external power sources or manual adjustments.
Optimized Target Acquisition
Featuring a 30mm objective lens diameter and a 5.5 MOA dot reticle, the M21 provides a substantial field of view. This design facilitates rapid target acquisition and enhanced situational awareness, critical in dynamic operational environments. The 5.5 MOA dot is engineered for effective engagement at practical combat distances.
NVG and Magnifier Compatibility
The M21 is designed for seamless integration with Night Vision Goggles (NVG), including those incorporating Gen III image intensifier tubes. Its optical characteristics also support compatibility with magnifying scopes, such as the Mepro MX3F/T, allowing for close positioning of the magnifier without compromising the field of view or hindering switch operation. This adaptability extends the sight’s utility across varying engagement ranges and tactical scenarios.
Robust Construction and Proven Reliability
Constructed to meet rigorous military specifications, the Meprolight M21 exhibits a high degree of durability and resistance to harsh environmental factors. Its continued deployment by global defense and law enforcement organizations underscores its operational reliability and resilience under demanding conditions.
