Meprolight Micro Rds For Glock Optics Ready Pistol No Backup Sights

The Meprolight Micro RDS for Glock optics ready pistol is a compact red dot sight engineered to mount on any pistol with an optics-ready slide—without the need for gunsmithing, re-zeroing, or permanent modifications. If you've got a modern Glock or similar duty-configured handgun, this sight lets you run a proven combat-grade optic with the ergonomic simplicity that's made Meprolight a trusted name among shooters serious about precision and speed.

At its core, the Micro RDS is built around a 3.0 MOA red dot—small enough for accurate shot placement at distance, bright enough to pick up instantly in close quarters or poor light. The large sight window maximizes your field of view whether you're shooting with one eye or both, and the design works equally well as a primary pistol optic or as a secondary CQB sight mounted on a rifle or shotgun. Power comes from a single CR2032 battery, and Meprolight engineered the sight so you can swap the battery without removing the optic from your slide—zero doesn't shift, and you stay on target.

This version ships without backup iron sights, keeping the footprint clean and the cost down. If you want irons alongside your dot, Meprolight offers a companion TruDot self-illuminated rear sight that mounts directly to the Micro RDS. The patented quick-detach mounting system is the real standout: pull the sight and reinstall it in the same slot, and it returns to zero automatically. No re-zeroing. No guesswork. That's a game-changer for anyone running a pistol optic in a duty or defensive role where reliability and repeatability matter.

Designed for the Glock ecosystem but compatible with any optics-ready platform, the Micro RDS delivers precision without compromise or custom machine work.
