Burris FastFire C ($276)

The trend toward incorporating red dot optics on sub-compact and micro-compact pistols for every day and concealed carry use continues to expand as more personal defense practitioners recognize the benefits of this precise, on-demand aiming solution. Building on the company’s proven FastFire optic series, the new FastFire C delivers a durable and reliable aiming option that’s ideally suited for today’s deep concealment, micro-compact defensive pistols. Weighing less than one ounce and built around a strong, reinforced composite polymer housing similar to pistol frames, the FastFire C integrates several features engineered for maximum performance in any defensive situation.

Powered by a CR2032 battery, the FastFire C utilizes “Always On” technology with a 25,000-hour run time, so the optic is always ready to engage after initial power-up, with no additional settings required on the shooter’s part. For those who prefer to set their own brightness level, the FastFire C offers five manual illumination settings. The FastFire C uses the popular RMSc footprint as its mounting footprint. The housing’s protective lens hood incorporates serrations along the front edge, delivering no-slip performance for aggressive, one-hand slide manipulation. Lastly, the FastFire C boasts an exceptionally clear aspherical glass lens with minimal bluing and field curvature. This promotes a crisp, undistorted reflective surface for the stable, no-flicker 6 MOA red-dot reticle.
