The Viridian RFX 44 Compact Closed Emitter Green Dot Sight brings a purpose-built optic to shooters who demand speed and clarity on the draw. Built on Viridian's two decades of green-dot expertise, the RFX 44 pairs a 5 MOA green reticle with a proprietary multi-coated lens designed to maximize color transmission—giving you the advantage of the human eye's natural sensitivity to green wavelengths over traditional red dots. If you run a modern tactical pistol or carry gun, this compact reflex sight delivers the target acquisition performance you need without the bulk.
The closed emitter design is where the RFX 44 sets itself apart from conventional open-frame reflex sights. By housing the battery and electronics at the top of the unit, Viridian engineered a sleeker profile that actually increases your viewing window while keeping the overall footprint tight. That enclosed housing also shields your optic from dust, moisture, and debris—a serious advantage if you're shooting hard or carrying in rough conditions. Dot acquisition is faster, and your sight stays ready when you need it.
Built from 6061 aluminum with hard-coat anodization, the RFX 44 is tough enough for serious use. You get 10 brightness settings (8 visible plus 2 night-vision modes), tactile and audible adjustments for windage and elevation, and INSTANT-ON activation paired with auto shut-off to stretch battery life to a practical 30,000 hours. Mount it on any RMR-footprint host, and you've got a compact optic that works as hard as you do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pistols does the RFX 44 fit?
The RFX 44 uses the RMR footprint, which is the industry standard for compact pistol-mounted red dots and green dots. It will mount on any modern pistol (or other platform) that accepts RMR-pattern optics, including many factory-cut slides and aftermarket adapters.
Why choose green over red dots?
The human eye is naturally more sensitive to green wavelengths than red, which means the green 5 MOA reticle in the RFX 44 typically appears sharper and faster to acquire. Combined with Viridian's proprietary multi-coated lens, you get superior color transmission and clarity compared to conventional red-dot sights.
How long will the battery last?
The RFX 44 delivers up to 30,000 hours of runtime on a single CR1632 battery. The INSTANT-ON activation and auto shut-off features help maximize that battery life by ensuring the sight powers down when not in use.
What makes the closed emitter design better?
The closed housing protects the optic's electronics and lens from dust, moisture, and debris, ensuring consistent performance in harsh conditions. It also speeds up dot acquisition compared to traditional open reflex sights and provides a sleeker overall profile.
