CTC RAD Micro Pro Dot Red Dot Sight - Precision Optics for Tactical and Sporting Use

The Crimson Trace RAD Micro Pro is a compact red dot sight purpose-built for pistols with optics cuts, delivering fast target acquisition without the bulk or complexity of magnified scopes. If you're running a micro-cut slide on a compact or subcompact carry gun and want a closed-emitter reflex sight that stays out of the way, this is a genuine option for both defensive and sporting shooters who value simplicity and durability.

What sets the Micro Pro apart is its thoughtful design: a recessed, fully multi-coated lens that opens up a generous sight picture, paired with a 5 MOA aiming dot that's green (not red, despite the product name—worth noting if you've got a preference). The sight includes a rear notch cut into the back for co-witnessing with your front iron sight, giving you a fallback aiming reference if the dot fails. The aluminum frame uses 7075 Series aerospace-grade material, which Crimson Trace claims is 30% stronger than standard 6061 aluminum found in competing designs. A reinforced top strap design is engineered to deflect impact and reduce stress on the lens if the sight takes a knock.

Battery life and activation are handled with a RADIANT Ambient Light Sensor that automatically scales dot brightness to your lighting conditions, and a MOTION Sensor that wakes the sight when you move the gun and powers it off after 2 minutes of inactivity. The Micro Pro mounts on the CT micro footprint, and is also cross-compatible with Shield RMS and JPoint footprints—a nice selling point if you're shopping between platforms. Installation is straightforward with the included CT adjustment tool and mounting hardware.

Crimson Trace backs this sight with their lifetime warranty, and you'll get a CR1632 battery, sight cover, and instruction manual in the box.
