While this is great to see for the benefits red dots provide, the new trend seems to be pushing towards enclosed-emitter optics. These offer better reliability because a piece of lint or snow can no longer cover up the emitter and keep the red dot from appearing for the end user. Enclosed-emitter options have been limited until recently, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steiner-optics.com?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steiner<\/a> is joining the competition to create more rugged micro pistol sights with the release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steiner-optics.com\/battle-sights\/mps?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MPS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-steiner-mps-introduction\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Steiner MPS Introduction<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-steiner-durability\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Steiner Durability<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-size-clarity-of-steiner-mps\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Size\/Clarity of Steiner MPS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-mounting-the-steiner-mps\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Mounting the Steiner MPS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-to-fix-that\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">To Fix That&#8230;<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-reliability-of-steiner-mps\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Reliability of Steiner MPS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-brightness-settings-of-steiner-mps\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Brightness Settings of Steiner MPS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-battery-life\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Battery Life<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-adjustments\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Adjustments<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-conclusion\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" data-level=\"2\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steiner-durability\">Steiner Durability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aiming to replicate &#8220;mil-spec ruggedness,&#8221; the MPS utilizes an all-metal construction to completely seal the emitter. Enclosing the emitter allows the MPS to protect the LED from debris. It keeps the red dot displayed as long as the glass is not covered. If snow or dirt covers the glass on the front of the optic, users would still be able to shoot when both eyes are open by superimposing the red dot over the foreground the other eye is seeing. The housing protrudes past the window to block objects from reaching or harming the front lens. This is the biggest advantage I think the MPS provides over the Aimpoint ACRO P2. While using the optic to ram against objects to rack the slide isn&#8217;t a common necessity, it looks like the MPS was built to take the abuse and protect the front lens.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2388-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS in action on a sweet pistol\" class=\"wp-image-172482\" style=\"width:840px;height:560px\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2388-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2388-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2388-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2388-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2388.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my testing, I never had any issues with this optic.

Clarity is good with the glass on this optic while there is only a light blue tint visible when looking through the MPS. There is no edge-to-edge distortion like there is with the Trijicon RMR.<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my complaints about the MPS comes from Steiners &#8220;enhanced sidewalls.&#8221; These make the optic look blocky and give me a slight perceived tunnel vision. I love the large, unobstructed field of view optics such as the Trijicon SRO provides, but the MPS is unquestionably much more rugged and durable. The thicker sidewalls give the MPS what Steiner says is a &#8220;best-in-class shock rating,&#8221; but there is a balance between durability and functionality. The window is plenty big, and the sidewalls are very comparable to an RMR. In the end, this optic remains much more rugged than most pistol optics. All while remaining quick and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2389-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" class=\"wp-image-172483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2389-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2389-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2389-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2389-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2389.jpg 1110w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mounting-the-steiner-mps\">Mounting the Steiner MPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPS tips the scales at 2.05 oz with an overall length of 2.17 inches long. Designed to work with existing mounting systems, this sight uses an Aimpoint ACRO footprint. Steiner claims it can be mounted on any Doctor plate, and several other companies are making some adaptor options. Steiner includes an ACRO plate, but I found that the cut through the cut in the top of the rail wasn&#8217;t wide enough to accommodate normal fastener heads, preventing them from securing the baseplate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had the same issue with the optic cut Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P&#8217;s, as their screw heads could clear the top of the rail, but did not sit flush with the bottom and interfered with the MPS preventing it from being mounted. I found a few other issues too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The screw set that came with the MPS did not thread into an FN509CC Edge slide. The pistol screw set used fastener heads that were too wide to work with the Steiner baseplate. I ended up speaking with Apex Tactical and they sent out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apextactical.com\/apex-optic-mount-for-aimpointr-acro-p-1?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">baseplate<\/a> to use which fit like a glove. However, throughout this process, I discovered that a small number of MPS optics may end up walking loose if the tolerance range is wrong from any given baseplate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-fix-that\">To Fix That&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this issue, Apex Tactical is making the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apextactical.com\/extended-clamp-for-steiner-mps?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"steiner-mps-enclosed-emitter-micro-pistol-sight-review\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Super Clamp<\/a>&#8221; for the MPS with an MSRP of $20. The clamp is not needed unless the ACRO happens to be in the highest 5% of the tolerance range. However, this should resolve any potential issues. Throughout my testing, the MPS I was loaned to review torqued down just fine and did not need to use the Apex Tactical Super Clamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2396-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS from the bottom\" class=\"wp-image-172484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2396-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2396-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2396-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2396-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2396.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ACRO footprint on the MPS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2398-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Fastener plate for Steiner MPS\" class=\"wp-image-172485\" style=\"width:840px;height:560px\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2398-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2398-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2398-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2398-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2398.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fastener head from pistol optic mount set is not compatible with the included baseplate.

Other than that though, they function just as they should.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2392-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS close up of brightness buttons\" class=\"wp-image-172489\" style=\"width:840px;height:560px\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2392-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2392-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2392-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2392-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2392.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Both brightness adjustment buttons are on the left side and are recessed to keep from accidentally adjusting when concealed carrying<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_2577-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS at lowest NV setting\" class=\"wp-image-173168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_2577-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_2577-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_2577-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_2577-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_2577.jpg 1206w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Steiner MPS set to the lowest NV setting seen through a PVS14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-battery-life\">Battery Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Battery life for the MPS is listed at 13,000 hours when set to the middle level of brightness, which is quite impressive. This allows users to never turn the optic off without worrying about always replacing the batteries. When the optic runs low on juice, it will have a flashing red light to indicate a low battery. It is powered by a single CR1632 and features a top-loaded battery compartment for easy changes without ever losing your zero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery cap is kinda annoying since it takes a unique tool and flatheads don&#8217;t work the best for removal. I gouged it up pretty badly trying to remove it without the standard tool I left at the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2393-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS mounted on pistol sitting on a box of Norma ammunition\" class=\"wp-image-172490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2393-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2393-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2393-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2393-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2393.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Top loaded battery compartment and elevation turret.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else I found to note is an auto-shutoff feature, which originally was standard, but was later removed. The first optics out of the factory had a 13-hour automatic shutoff that could be disabled by pressing and holding both brightness buttons for 10-15 seconds until the optic flashes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPS I was sent to review has this feature, and when disabling it, the optic then remains on, but the brightness is locked. This lock-out feature is appreciated, but not being able to change the brightness while it is enabled is upsetting for me. I would have loved to see this optic without an auto-shutoff that could still have the brightness adjusted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adjustments\">Adjustments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sighting in the MPS is easy with the elevation and windage adjustments. Each click is audible<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>and the adjustments are clearly labeled. A piece of brass works just fine for fine-tuning this optic in for your zero.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Steiner MPS: Enclosed-Emitter Micro Pistol Sight Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_3930-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Steiner MPS close-up of wind and elevation adjustments\" class=\"wp-image-175732\" style=\"width:840px;height:560px\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_3930-edited.jpg 1029w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_3930-edited-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_3930-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_3930-edited-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_3930-edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The windage adjustment is on the right side, and the elevation adjustment is on the top of the MPS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As more companies get into the red dot and enclosed emitter space, innovation is sure to follow.
