Red Dot Sights

Shop Red Dot Sights at The Armory

Acquire targets faster with a red dot sight from The Armory. Red dots project an illuminated aiming point onto a lens, allowing you to shoot with both eyes open for maximum situational awareness and speed. We carry reflex sights, micro red dots, and full-size optics for AR-15s, pistols, shotguns, and PCCs from industry-leading brands.

Types of Red Dot Sights

• Full-Size Reflex Sights – Larger objective lens for wider field of view. Popular for AR-15s and home defense carbines.
• Micro Red Dots – Compact, lightweight optics ideal for pistol slides and lightweight rifle builds.
• Enclosed Emitter – Tube-style red dots with protected emitters that resist debris and environmental conditions.
• Open Emitter – Traditional reflex design with exposed emitter. Lighter weight, lower profile, but more susceptible to obstruction.
• Shake Awake – Motion-activated dots that turn on when you pick up the firearm and sleep when stationary to preserve battery.

Choosing the Right Red Dot

Consider your platform first. Pistol-mounted red dots need to be compact, durable, and have a footprint compatible with your slide cut. Rifle red dots can be larger with longer battery life. For home defense, look for shake-awake technology so your dot is always ready. MOA size matters: smaller dots (2 MOA) are more precise; larger dots (6 MOA) are faster to find. Most shooters prefer 2-3 MOA as a balance.
