Product Description
Burris FastFire Red-Dot Reflex Sight ( 4 MOA Dot Reticle) The FastFire dramatically increases speed and accuracy. It simplifies the act of aiming, eliminating the need to focus on and align the front sight, rear sight and target. With the FastFire, the aiming red dot and target are always in focus and properly aligned for the ultimate in accuracy. The FastFire II provides the only fully waterproof unit in its product category. The FastFire sight is very small, mounts very low, and weighs a mere 1.6 ounces. And it has repeatedly proven it’s toughness on the slides of high power semi-autos, on slug guns, on shotguns and on high power rifles. The FastFire housing is made of metal for strength and durability. It’s lenses are precision ground and polished to exacting geometries to virtually eliminate parallax and to provide a very clear crisp sight picture. It is fully windage and elevation adjustable and lockable. It features both an on/off switch and a light sensor that automatically adjusts the dot’s brightness to the available light. The included plastic hood covers the light sensor and puts the unit in sleep mode when the on/off switch is set to “on.” FastFire is powered by a lithium CR2032 battery, which is commonly available and long lasting because of the highly efficient electronics and the battery-saver mode. A battery can last as long as five years . Special bases are available for the most common firearms.

I have a ton of different sights, including an expensive Leupold Deltapoint. I got the FastFire because I thought it would be almost as good for half the price. Well, not quite. While the device shows no signs of disintegrating like some cheaper sights (its mounted on a SIG 556, so it gets a real pounding) the problem is the red dot itself. It is not easy to see. My impression is that the auto dim feature is set to too dim when used in lower light conditions like an indoor range. Read in some forums that outside in the bright sunlight no problem. I briefly had the sight mounted on a pistol. This did not work well at all since with the outstretched arm the dot was even harder to see.

With my eye sight rapidly deteriorating I was about to give up shooting my pistols in competition, but decided to try the FastFire on my 1911's. Thought the slide action would surely destroy the little sight in just a few rounds. Not so! They held up just fine through several matches over the past yearBurris FastFire Red-Dot Reflex Sight - No Mount ( 4 MOA Dot Reticle)[[ASIN:B0023MHTJ8 Burris FastFire Red-Dot Reflex Sight - No Mount ( 4 MOA Dot Reticle). Now I have them on all my pistols and even one on my Win 94 as a "scout mount" in the rear sight dovetail. Also one on my .22 RF. The 4 MOA dot is perfect for short to medium ranges encountered for squirrel or deer.

If your eyes are a bit older and the regular sights just don't do it, this is perfect. It is very durable and very reliable. I have mine mounted on a glock and it takes the beating and works.
