Lasermax Lmcrds Compact Red Dot Sight Matte Black 1 X 0.98" 0.66" 3 Moa
$144.24
The LaserMax Compact Red Dot Sight (LM-CRDS) is a rugged optic built for shooters running RMR-footprint pistols who want a reliable, low-profile aiming solution. Machined from aircraft-grade 7071 aluminum and finished in matte black, this compact red dot sight delivers a 3 MOA reticle in a form factor that won't snag holsters or add unnecessary bulk to your carry or duty gun. Whether you're training at the range, running defensive drills, or carrying daily, the LM-CRDS adapts to your environment without fuss.
What sets this sight apart is its external forward-facing light sensor—an industry first when it was introduced—which automatically adjusts the red dot's brightness based on ambient light. That means you don't have to fiddle with brightness levels when moving from indoors to bright sunlight or dawn/dusk conditions; the sight handles it for you. If auto-brightness isn't your preference, you can dial in manual brightness adjustment instead. The "shake to awake" feature keeps the optic ready without draining the battery on your nightstand or in the safe.
The LM-CRDS runs on a single CR1632 battery (included) and will give you roughly 10,000 hours of runtime across its 8 daytime and 2 nighttime brightness settings. Windage and elevation are dialed in 1 MOA per click, making zeroing and holdover adjustments straightforward. Picatinny mount hardware comes in the box, and the RMR-style footprint means it'll drop right onto any RMR-compatible slide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the LaserMax LM-CRDS fit my RMR-ready pistol?
Yes—the LM-CRDS uses the RMR mounting footprint, so it's compatible with any slide cut for RMR-pattern optics. Picatinny mount hardware is included in the box.
What's included with the sight?
The package includes the LM-CRDS optic, Picatinny mounting hardware, and a CR1632 battery ready to install.
How does the automatic brightness adjustment work?
An external forward-facing light sensor detects ambient light conditions and automatically adjusts the red dot brightness between 8 daytime and 2 nighttime settings. You can also override this and manually set brightness if you prefer.
How long will a battery last?
The CR1632 battery provides approximately 10,000 hours of runtime. The "shake to awake" feature helps extend battery life by powering down the reticle when the sight isn't being moved.
