Colt Optics has just announced a new pistol red dot, a full-size red dot and a magnifier.
Colt Optics has officially entered the red dot game with its recent announcement of the MRS-1 enclosed-emitter pistol red dot, the CSQ-1 rifle red dot and the C3X-1 3x magnifier. All three were designed, engineered and assembled in Michigan and feature large viewing windows for faster target acquisition and better situational awareness while behind the sight.
The MRS-1 is an enclosed-emitter pistol red dot that features a rugged 7075-T6 aluminum housing, a 3-MOA dot, an ACRO mounting footprint, motion-activated illumination and co-witnessing with many standard-height iron sights thanks to its low-profile design. Despite its large viewing window, the MRS-1 maintains a compact footprint of just 1.85 inches and a weight of 2 ounces. Powered by a CR2032 battery, the Colt pistol red dot has 12 brightness settings (8 for daylight, 4 for night vision) and an advertised battery life of 75,000 hours on the middle setting. MSRP is $428.
The CSQ-1 is a full-size square red dot designed with rifles in mind. Like the MRS-1, it also features a 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum fully enclosed housing, a large viewing window and shake-awake technology. It’s also powered by a CR2032 battery, but it has an advertised battery life of 50,000 hours. It features a multi-role reticle that can be switched between MRAD ranging with BDC holds and a simple red dot. Reticle brightness is controlled by a large top-mounted button, and a dedicated night vision button allows you to quickly swap between daylight and NV modes as well. MSRP is $824.
The C3X-1 is a 3x magnifier designed to be paired with the CSQ-1. With a length of just 2.72 inches, it’s one of the most compact 3x magnifiers available, making it a great new option for anyone looking to build a setup with limited rail space. It ships with a flip-to-side mount that can be configured for left or right deployment. MSRP is $604.
Jon Meyer, Vice President of Product Development for Colt Optics, said this about the new family:
Throughout development, we focused on how these products would actually be used in the real world … Every feature had to earn its place. Whether it improved speed, awareness, durability, or ease of use, the goal was to create optics that help shooters perform better under real-world conditions.
