Introduction to Meprolight F-Series Red Dots
Hi everyone, Caleb from Brownells here! Today, we’re diving into the Meprolight F-Series Red Dots, which include both a standard open emitter model and an enclosed emitter Pro model. These optics are designed with versatility and durability in mind, making them ideal for concealed carry, range use, or tactical applications. Let’s explore their features, differences, and how they stack up.
Standard vs. Pro (Enclosed Emitter) Models
The F-Series offers two distinct models:
Standard model: An open emitter design, lightweight and streamlined.
Pro model: Features an enclosed emitter, which protects the optic from dust, lint, and debris.
The Pro model is especially suited for concealed carry since its enclosed design prevents environmental factors from blocking the dot, ensuring reliability under any conditions.
Mounting Options and RMR Cut Compatibility
Both models are designed to fit RMR-cut slides using a robust mounting system. The Pro model includes a steel plate for additional stability since its enclosed design prevents direct access to traditional screw holes. The optic mounts securely using side screws, ensuring it stays in place under recoil.
Auto-Adjusting Brightness and Manual Lock Feature
One of the standout features of the F-Series is the auto-adjusting brightness. The optic automatically adapts to ambient light levels, ensuring the dot remains visible without being overpowering. If you prefer a fixed brightness, the manual lock feature lets you set it to a consistent level.
The 3 MOA dot is paired with a 33 MOA bullseye ring, offering quick target acquisition for close-range scenarios while maintaining precision for longer shots.
Battery Type and 20,000-Hour Battery Life
Both models use a CR1632 battery, which powers the optic for approximately 20,000 hours at medium brightness. This incredible battery life means you can keep your optic running without frequent replacements, making it highly reliable for daily carry or extended range sessions.
Day and Night Vision Settings Explained
The F-Series Red Dots include 10 daytime brightness settings and 2 night vision-compatible settings, making them versatile for any lighting condition. Whether you’re shooting under bright sunlight or using night vision goggles, these optics provide the clarity and adjustability you need.
Waterproof Ratings: IPX7 and IP67
Durability is a hallmark of the Meprolight F-Series. The standard model is rated IPX7 waterproof, capable of being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The Pro model ups the ante with an IP67 waterproof rating, allowing it to handle up to 3 feet of water for the same duration. Both models are built to withstand harsh conditions without compromising performance.
