Viridian 9810143 Rfx15 Flat Dark Earth 1 X 17 Mm 24 3 Moa Green Dot Shield/Picatinny

The Viridian RFX15 is a micro green dot reflex sight built for shooters who demand speed and precision on their carry pistol or close-quarters rifle setup. This compact 1x17mm optic uses Viridian's proven green dot technology to deliver fast target acquisition in any light condition—from bright daylight to low-light scenarios. Weighing just 0.65 oz and engineered from 6061-T6 aluminum, the RFX15 fits seamlessly on Shield-footprint optics-ready pistols and can serve as a secondary or offset sight on carbines. Whether you're running a subcompact EDC gun or setting up a dedicated home-defense rifle, this is the kind of optic that gets out of your way while keeping you on target.

What sets the RFX15 apart is its balance of ruggedness and user-friendly features. The 3 MOA green dot is crisp and bright, backed by eight visible brightness settings plus two dedicated night vision modes, so you'll have the right intensity whether you're training indoors, shooting outdoors, or operating in darkness. INSTANT-ON activation means the optic is ready when you draw, and the auto-shutoff engages after two minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. With 30,000+ hours on a CR2032 battery, you're looking at years of reliable service between replacements. The reflex design keeps both eyes open for situational awareness, and the 17x24mm viewing window gives you plenty of glass to work with.

Built to handle abuse, the RFX15 is waterproof to IPX6 standards and rated to operate across a wide temperature range (-4°F to 130°F), so mountain hunts, desert range trips, and cold-weather carry won't phase it. Mounting is straightforward—the included Picatinny adapter and wrench set make installation quick, and Viridian includes all the extras: battery, cleaning cloth, and a quick-start guide to get you running. This is an optic engineered for the shooter who values reliability, speed, and simplicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the RFX15 fit my optics-ready concealed carry pistol?

The RFX15 is designed for pistols that use the Shield Standard footprint. Check your gun's manual or manufacturer specs to confirm Shield compatibility. The sight also includes a Picatinny mount adapter, so it can be mounted on Picatinny-equipped rifles and carbines as well.

What's included in the box?

You get the RFX15 sight, a CR2032 battery, a Picatinny mount adapter, a wrench set for installation, a cleaning cloth, a quick-start guide, and mounting screws in multiple sizes (M3 and M4 in both 7.6mm and 11.43mm lengths) to fit various mounting surfaces.

How long does the battery last?

Using a standard CR2032 battery, the RFX15 delivers 30,000+ hours of runtime on middle brightness settings—that's roughly three to four years of continuous use. The auto-shutoff function after two minutes of inactivity helps extend battery life during storage or downtime.

Can I use the RFX15 as a backup sight on my rifle?

Yes. The RFX15 works well as a close-range offset or co-witness sight on rifles and carbines thanks to its compact size and Picatinny mount compatibility. Its fast dot and both-eyes-open design are particularly useful for CQB or defensive rifle setups.
