Originally developed for the Israel Defense Force (IDF), the Meprolight M21 Day/Night Self-Illuminated Reflex Sight embodies Meprolight’s advanced tritium technology. This optic remains on active duty with the IDF and is trusted by militaries and law enforcement agencies globally, validating its performance and reliability in demanding operational environments.
Key Features
Dual Illumination System
The Meprolight M21 operates on a passive, self-powered illumination system, integrating both tritium and fiber optic elements. This design ensures consistent reticle visibility across all lighting conditions, from bright daylight to complete darkness, without dependence on batteries, switches, or external power sources. This engineering decision actively mitigates potential points of failure associated with battery-dependent optics, ensuring sustained operational readiness.
Optimized Field of View
Featuring a 30mm objective lens, the M21 provides an expansive and unobstructed field of view. This critical design element facilitates rapid target acquisition and enhances situational awareness, particularly beneficial during dynamic engagements or in multi-threat scenarios.
Precision Reticle
The Open X reticle is engineered for clear and intuitive target engagement. Its configuration is designed to enable quick target identification and precise shot placement, thereby optimizing user performance across varied engagement distances and operational parameters.
NVG and Magnifier Compatibility
The M21 is designed for seamless integration with Night Vision Goggles (NVG), including those utilizing GEN III tubes, and various magnifying scopes such as the Mepro MX3F/T. The optic’s form factor allows for close positioning of a magnifier without compromising the field-of-view or hindering access to controls, maintaining a consistent and functional sight picture.
Battle-Proven Reliability
Developed and deployed by the Israel Defense Force, the M21’s construction and performance have undergone rigorous validation in extreme combat conditions. This lineage confirms its inherent robustness and capability to sustain operational performance under severe tactical stressors.
