Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has just introduced the Ruger® ReadyDot ™ micro reflex optic, and is offering a version of its MAX-9 pistol with the sight already installed.
The Ruger ReadyDot is an ultra-reliable 1X reflex sight designed specifically to co-witness with the Ruger MAX-9 pistol, but the low-profile sight also fits any compact handgun with a standard Shield RMSc footprint. The use of a reflex sight like the Ruger ReadyDot allows the shooter to keep both eyes open and focus on the target, rather than the front sight, according to a company news release.
The MAX-9 pistol is well established as an optic-ready rugged and reliable daily carry option. It is now available paired with a factory-mounted ReadyDot optic. Co-witnessed with the tritium fiber optic front sight, the ReadyDot allows the shooter to keep both eyes open, focus on the target, and maintain depth perception when engaging targets at various distances. The Ruger ReadyDot uses the light-gathering properties of fiber optics, giving the user an optic that is self-adjusting for brightness and never needs a battery.
Chambered in 9mm Luger, this model of the Ruger MAX-9 has an impressive 12+1 capacity and features a loaded chamber viewport, manual safety, and two E-Nickel Teflon coated magazines. This striker-fired pistol is built on a precision-machined, rigid aluminum fire control housing and fitted with a durable, through-hardened steel slide.
The ReadyDot’s 15 MOA dot is highly visible and optimized for rapid target acquisition at pistol distances. Unlike optics that utilize batteries and microelectronics to generate their aiming dot, the Ruger ReadyDot utilizes the light-gathering properties of fiber optics so it is self-adjusting for brightness and never needs a battery. The fixed, co-witnessed dot avoids the necessity for delicate adjustment mechanisms, making this one of the most rugged and reliable, waterproof, and shock resistant pistol optics available.
