Vector Optics Frenzy-S 1x16x22 AUT Red Dot Sight – Ultra-Lightweight Polymer Reflex Sight for Pistols
The Vector Optics Frenzy-S 1x16x22 AUT Red Dot Sight is one of the most compact and lightweight reflex sights available on the market today, weighing just 12.4 grams. Specifically engineered for pistol platforms and real firearm recoil, this red dot sight is perfect for competitive shooting, EDC setups, and rapid target acquisition under pressure. Its robust polymer housing, automatic brightness control, and streamlined design make it an ideal companion for shooters seeking speed, reliability, and minimal footprint without sacrificing performance.
Featherlight Construction, Real-Fire Ready
Despite its ultralight build, the Frenzy-S AUT is not a toy. Built from high-strength engineering polymer, it is designed to endure the rigors of real firearms, including centerfire calibers. The ultra-slim profile makes it ideal for concealed carry pistols or lightweight competition setups where weight and bulk are critical factors. The sight mounts securely with a MAG-S footprint and is compatible with Weaver base mounts for added versatility.
Automatic Brightness Adaptation
Equipped with an advanced automatic light sensor, the Frenzy-S AUT seamlessly adjusts dot brightness based on ambient lighting conditions. This ensures optimal visibility whether you're transitioning from indoor ranges to outdoor sunlight or entering low-light environments. The red dot remains visible yet non-intrusive, improving target acquisition without manual input.
Unmatched Runtime and Efficiency
The sight is powered by a CR2032 battery, side-loaded for convenience. Under normal use, it offers an exceptional runtime of up to 50,000 hours on the lowest visible dot setting. This allows for years of dependable operation without frequent battery changes, making it highly reliable for duty or defensive use.
Minimalist Design with Practical Benefits
- Extremely Low Profile: The sight sits close to the bore axis, supporting faster target transitions and natural point of aim.
- Slim Housing: Compact 16x22mm window balances field of view with concealability for pistol slides.
- Snag-Free Exterior: Smooth contours reduce the chance of catching on holsters or clothing, ideal for EDC pistols.
- Weather Resistant: IPX4 water resistance protects against rain and moisture, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Durable Lens Coating: The clear lens is treated with protective multi-coatings to guard against scratches and environmental wear while ensuring high light transmission.
