Glock 43x Mos Light - If you need optics for your Glock 43X, I'm here to help. The Modular Optics System, or MOS, version of the G43X has a factory-cut slide that accepts only micro-footprint sized optics using the RMSc-style base. Not all Red Dot Sights (RDS) will fit.
Originally popularized by the Smith & Wesson Shield series, the RMSc grip is now used for a variety of firearms including the SIG SAUER P365 series and Springfield Armory Hellcat optics. Sights are more compact than regular pistol red dot sights and are necessary for slim pistols like the G43X.

I have extensively researched the use of reflex sights on pistols and have tested more than a few options on the market. To help you decide which red dot is best for your needs, here's my list of Glock 43X lenses.

These optics also fit the Glock 48 MOS pistol. While I try to keep the list up to date, I recognize that I might miss a new product launch. So feel free to leave info on anything not listed in the comments section below.
Before going into the details of each lens, here is a comparison table of features and prices for currently available options.

Riton Optics offers a solidly built mini red dot optic for your Glock slimline pistol. Called the X3 TACTIX MPRD, this scope is made from a 6061-T6 aluminum body and a multi-coated lens. From a durability standpoint, only the Swampfox Sentinel (scroll down) tops it.

The X3 TACTIX MPRD is a fully manual optic with 10 levels of red dot brightness. Levels one and two support night vision, while the remaining brightness levels support the Mk1 eyeball in a variety of lighting conditions. An auto-off feature kicks in at 12 o'clock.
Riton claims a light transmission rate of 99.5% with its high-density, multi-layer glass. The lens coatings are said to reduce flare, improve clarity in low light and resist scratches.
The company has a simple guarantee: if it fails, send it back and Riton Optics will send you a new one. You don't need to register the product, you don't need any documentation, and you don't even have to be the original purchaser. The company's goal is for all returns to be processed within 48 hours. It would be hard to beat that kind of service.
The suggested retail price at the optics is $299.99. The viewfinder is relatively new, so you have to buy it directly from Riton. When it hits the market, I'm sure we'll see discounts on this program at regular retailers.

Shield Sights is the oldest manufacturer of micro red dots for pistols such as the Glock 43X. Currently, the company offers two basic models: the RMSc and the SMSc.
Built in England, the RMSc uses an aluminum body with a polymer lens to display a red aiming point. Shield Sights does not list the type of aluminum they use for the body.
Shield Sights uses an anti-reflective coating on the lens to reduce glare when aiming your G43X. Polymer lenses are used in many reflective sights and tend to reduce manufacturing costs. However, some people report that the lenses are more susceptible to scratches.
You can buy this vision with a point of 4 MOA or 8 MOA. For me, I prefer the 4 MOA, but the 8 MOA really stands out. For close defensive shots, the larger point isn't a bad choice, so go with what you think will work best for you.

Shield does not identify how many levels of brightness the display can use. Instead, the dot automatically adjusts according to lighting conditions.
Shield offers a 7-year warranty on the RMSc electronics and a lifetime warranty on all other components.
As Shield is an English company, direct purchases from the company require currency conversion from US Dollars to British Pounds. In addition, purchases will incur VAT or Value Added Tax. At the time of this writing, the suggested retail price of the sight is £300 before VAT. After adding currency conversion and VAT, the price is approximately $472.98 plus international shipping.
Another Shield product, this unit has a similar look but also some new features. The most obvious change is that the SMSc uses a polymer body instead of aluminum.

Shield has also revamped the lens. Now you can get the polymer lens with a special hard quartz coating for durability and scratch resistance. You can also replace the polymer lens entirely with a glass lens.
Like the RMSc, the SMSc is a permanent sight with automatic brightness adjustment. When mounted to your Glock pistol, a sensor measures ambient light and changes the relative brightness of the red dot.
The SMSc can be purchased with either a 4 MOA or an 8 MOA aim point. It comes with the same 7-year/unlimited warranty as the RMSc.
With the quartz-coated polymer lens, the MSRP with VAT for the SMSc is $346.85. A glass lens upgrade will cost an additional $126.13 for a total of $472.98. Coincidentally, it's the same price as the RMSc.

Alternatively, you can try to get one from a US-based retailer. Right now, however, the only retailer that seems to carry them is the Springfield Armory. The company's asking price is $299, but they are sold out with no scheduled restock date.
If you didn't already know, SIG SAUER is now an optics manufacturer. The company makes everything from rangefinders to high-powered oscilloscopes. One of their most recent additions is the Romeo Zero RDS, which fits the Glock 43X and other slim weapons.
The Romeo Zero is made with a polymer body and lens. This lends itself to being light - about 0.4 ounces according to the company's specifications.
For durability, I prefer a 6061 or 7075 aluminum body. However, polymer has proven to be a durable material for gun parts. Likewise, I prefer a glass lens. Polymer, however, is a proven material for optics, so you should be fine with this scope unless you use it too much.

GIS uses a motion activation system to illuminate the red dot. The system seems to work well and I have no problems trusting it.
The dot brightness is manually controlled. With Romeo Zero you get 8 manually adjustable brightness levels. There are two models available: one with a 3 MOA point and a second with a larger 6 MOA point.
One of the highlights of this view is the price: $219. Buying online brings the total cost under $200 with free shipping. This is the cheapest offering on this list by a pretty wide margin.
Reader Mike W. emailed me about Romeo Zero's compatibility with the G43X MOS. He said the mounting screws that come with the scope are too long for the Glock pistol. This mirrors the issue I discovered when trying to mount the Romeo Zero on the Springfield Armory Hellcat.

I'm trying to find a set of replacement screws. It was suggested to me that these M4-0.70x8mm flathead screws are a good replacement, but I haven't confirmed it yet.
If you are using a Romeo Zero on your Glock 43X MOS, can you let us know what mods or alternative screws you had to use?
The Sentinel is tough and built to take a beating. Swampfox machines the body from 7075-T6 aluminum - the same hardened metal used in forged AR undercuts.
For the lens, Swampfox uses an optical glass that has been multi-coated to give resistance to fog, water, mud and scratches.

Additionally, the Sentinel is the only device on this list with an IP rating: a standardized rating system for measuring water and dust ingress into electronic and other devices.
Sentinel is IPX7 rated. That means it's submersible to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. None of the other optics offer anything close to this.
Swampfox offers RDS in two models: one is fully manual with 10 brightness levels, while the other is a constant version with a continuously adjustable automatic brightness level. I own the fully automatic version and it works as advertised.
The photo sensor samples ambient lighting and almost instantly adjusts the 3 MOA red point. In actual use, I found it to work pretty well.

Swampfox offers a 50,000 spin guarantee on Sentinel. In other words, if you have problems with this for the first 50,000 real photos, they will work fine. If you fire 1,000 rounds a year, the company will support you for the next 50 years. I bet, however, that the company would be willing to intervene in case of manufacturing failures, regardless of the number of laps.
Due to Sentinel's incredible popularity, the sites are selling out quickly. However, they are available at a discount here.
