Description: Not that long ago, putting an optic on a pistol meant a Rube Goldberg of a mount and a huge honkin' sight that made the gun awkwardly top heavy. Not anymore! Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant shows us the Steiner MPS "Micro Pistol Sight," a robust, versatile red dot sight with a pleasantly wide field of view. You can mount the MPS to almost any pistol, including a Brownells BRN-180S®, as Caleb has done here. It fits the ACRO mount footprint, and plenty of adapters are available to fit other red dot sight cuts. The MPS has a 3.3 MOA dot that is windage and elevation adjustable in 1 MOA clicks up to 90 MOA. Hit one of the +/– brightness control buttons on the right-hand side to turn on the dot and segue into choosing one of the 6 daytime and 2 night vision brightness settings. Steiner put the battery compartment on the top of the MPS, so you can swap the CR-1632 power cell without having to dismount the sight from the gun. Good news: the battery will typically last for 13,000 hours and the reticle automatically shuts off after 13 hours, so you shouldn't have to change the battery very often. "Great," you say, "But does it hold up?" Caleb gives us his assessment of the Steiner MPS red dot sight's build quality.
