The Burris FastFire 4 is a red dot sight that offers shooters a fast and accurate aiming solution for a variety of firearms. With its compact size and versatile mounting options, it can be used on pistols, shotguns, rifles, and even crossbows. The sight features a 4 MOA dot reticle, which allows for precise aiming at both short and medium ranges. The dot is adjustable for brightness and can be set to match the lighting conditions of the shooting environment. The FastFire 4 also has an automatic brightness setting that adjusts the dot's intensity based on the ambient light. One of the most significant features of the FastFire 4 is its battery life. It uses a CR1632 battery, which can last up to 50,000 hours on the lowest brightness setting. This means that users can leave the sight turned on for extended periods without worrying about the battery running out. The sight is also durable and able to withstand heavy recoil. Its housing is made of rugged, shockproof materials, and it is waterproof and fog proof, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions. Mounting the FastFire 4 is straightforward, thanks to its compatibility with several mounting systems, including Picatinny and Weaver-style rails. The sight's low profile and compact size make it an excellent option for concealed carry and other applications where minimizing the size and weight of the firearm is essential. Overall, the Burris FastFire 4 is an excellent red dot sight for shooters who want a fast and reliable aiming solution for their firearms. Its compact size, durable construction, and long battery life make it an excellent choice for a wide range of shooting applications.

In this comprehensive review, we'll cover the features, performance, and overall value of this optic. Features The Fastfire IV 4 is built with a durable aluminum housing that's waterproof and shockproof. It boasts a 4 MOA red dot reticle that's clear and easy to see, even in low-light conditions. The reticle has eight brightness settings, including an automatic mode that adjusts based on the ambient light conditions. The optic comes with a top-loading battery compartment that makes it easy to change batteries without removing the sight from your firearm. The Fastfire IV 4 is also compatible with Burris' proprietary AR-F3 mounting system, which provides a secure and stable attachment to your firearm. Performance We tested the Fastfire IV 4 on a range of firearms, including rifles, shotguns, and handguns, and the optic performed exceptionally well in all cases. The red dot reticle is quick and easy to acquire, even on moving targets. The automatic brightness adjustment worked well in both bright sunlight and dimly lit environments. The Fastfire IV 4 is parallax-free, meaning that the reticle remains fixed on the target, regardless of your eye position. This feature is especially useful for shooters who need to acquire targets quickly without worrying about eye relief. Value At a retail price of around $300, the Fastfire IV 4 is an excellent value for hunters and shooters who demand a fast, reliable optic.

The sight's durability, ease of use, and compatibility with a range of firearms make it a great choice for hunters and shooters of all skill levels. If you're in the market for a reflex sight, the Fastfire IV 4 is certainly worth considering.

I have had a number of the original Fastfire sights for a lot of years and been very happy with them. Thought I would try this one with the new features but really nothing that is exciting. The levels of brightness are OK but not as adjustable as I would like. The multiple reticles really do nothing for handgun shooting as far as I’m concerned. The provided dust cover needs to be screwed in place and only covers the back of the site so I’m not exactly happy with that arrangement either. I like the easily removable covers. I do like the larger lens however the additional cost for the newer features that I don’t see valuable will prevent me from buying another one.

With so many manufacturers flooding the market with Red Dot Reflex Sights, it can be challenging to discern which offer the best value and durability. Burris' Fastfire lineup has long been known for its solid build quality, long battery life, and value pricing. However, the Fastfire 4 has taken a significant evolutionary leap that is sure to turn heads. The optic has undergone a substantial redesign to give it a much sleeker and modern appearance. The wider lens, new angles, and aggressive lines make it an ideal match for the latest pistols with similar design cues. Burris also added a wide array of crisp, bright reticle options that are useful in various applications. The battery compartment is now conveniently located just behind the lens, making it accessible without having to unmount the optic. Additionally, the included shroud emulates an enclosed reflex and keeps the sight clear of debris and some moisture. While it doesn't create a complete seal, the shroud is still effective in most situations to keep crud out. The Fastfire 4 offers excellent battery life, with up to 26,000 hours on the medium setting, an included low-profile pic rail mount, and a price of under $350. This makes it a serious competitor to other heavy hitters like Holosun and Trijicon. Burris did a fantastic job with the Fastfire 4, packing it with features not typically found with most manufacturers. It's an excellent optic, and I'm excited to see how these design and feature elements make their way into their upcoming lineup.

The Great Red Dot is missing the shake awake feature. My primary challenge was finding a suitable fit for the dot and the enclosed hood to shield the emitter. As far as I know, only two firearms are compatible with the dot and hood: the Canik TPSFX (with optic cut) and the Beretta APX full-size Gen 2. I have currently installed the dot on my Rival Arms Slide Doctor Optic cut (which does not work with the hood). I have tried to fit other OEM models, such as the Glock MOS Plate 01 (which does not work with the hood) and the IWI Masada Venom Plate (which also does not work with the hood). In general, I am dissatisfied with the price, but the optic is fantastic if all of its features can be used.

I shoot competitive Bullseye and steel with my 10/22 Volquartsen rifle. I needed a sight with both a three moa dot for Bullseye and a huge dot for Steel so I wouldn't have to switch up using two different sights. The Burris fast fire 4 is perfect for this situation. It also has a big window. One of my better investments !
