Mini Red Dot Sights – Compact Reflex Optics for Pistols, Rifles & EDC
Looking to upgrade your pistol or rifle with a fast, compact, and reliable optic? Mini red dot sights are the go-to solution for shooters who want rapid target acquisition without the bulk of a full-size scope. Whether you're building out an AR-15, optimizing your EDC pistol, or preparing for competition, these sights offer the clarity and speed you need.
At Mounts Plus, we carry top-rated mini reflex sights from trusted brands like Holosun, Trijicon, Shield, Vortex, Burris, and more. Every optic we offer is tested for durability, designed for real-world use, and built to enhance your performance on the range or in the field.
🔭 Why Choose a Mini Red Dot?
Mini red dots are compact, lightweight, and incredibly effective for:
- Pistols — including subcompacts like Glock 43X, SIG P365, Hellcat
- AR-15s & PCCs — especially low-profile, fast-acquisition builds
- Shotguns — for turkey hunting or defensive applications
- Concealed carry — ideal for RMSc and RMRcc-ready slides
They’re easy to mount, provide unlimited eye relief, and make point-and-shoot accuracy much faster than traditional iron sights.
