Riton 3 Tactix MPRD XL Red Dot Sight: First Look

The new sight size keeps the RMS/c footprint while expanding the sight window for shooters.

Riton 3 Tactix MPRD XL Red Dot Sight: First Look

As the market for compact and double-stack 1911 pistols using the RMS/c footprint continues to rise, optics companies need to provide options for all use cases suiting these firearms. The MPRD XL offers shooters an 18% larger window than the standard MPRD and as much as a 36% larger window than comparable dots on the market, while still maintaining direct-mount compatibility for the RMS/c footprint. The result is improved dot and target acquisition, without sacrificing concealability.

“I love bringing a product to market that can fill multiple roles or solve multiple problems,” said Trent Marsh, Marketing Director for Riton Optics. “With RMS/c being so widely used for the compact and sub-compact pistol market, and so many pistol dots for that footprint being so small, usability can take a hit. Our MPRD already offered one of the larger windows, and by extent is one of the easier-to-use models in that category. Being able to increase the window size, improve on dot and target acquisition, and still serve that concealed carry market, alongside the double-stack 2011 market that continues to grow and often uses the RMS/c footprint, the MPRD XL feels like an easy addition to the Riton pistol dot lineup.”

The 3 Tactix MPRD XL is the first pistol dot offered in green for Riton. The visibility benefits that many shooters find with green dots is well documented, and the 3 Tactix MPRD XL was the perfect vessel for green illumination in the Riton lineup. “The 3 Tactix MPRD XL was a great way to add a green option to our offering,” said Assistant Director of Product R&D at Riton. “We get a lot of feedback from our customers, and green is very popular right now, for multiple reasons, so when looking at all the benefits the 3 Tactix MPRD XL brings to the lineup, bringing a green option to the market seemed like the right call.”

This dot also has 3 different reticle options. You have the option to choose from a classic single dot, a circle, or a dot within a circle. These reticle preferences and brightness settings are saved so you can always get on target with familiarity.

The 3 Tactix MPRD XL has 10 tactile levels of adjustable brightness so you can adjust to your shooting conditions on the fly even with gloves on. For anyone considering a green dot sight on their CCW, the 3 Tactix MPRD XL is the perfect mix of precision and versatility. The 3 Tactix MPRD XL has an MSRP of $329.99
