They made an electro-optic that is actually not electronic at all.

It actually uses fiber optic and tritium to do the same thing the electronics do.

Theres no trying to turn the optic on or off or worrying about brightness levels.

A closely cropped image shows the author firing a Springfield Armory SAINT rifle on a shooting range, equipped with the Meprolight M22 red dot sight.

The M22 is always on, and the brightness level depends entirely on how much external light is available.

The M22 boasts a completely new housing than its predecessor, the M21, upon which it is based.

The M22 is substantially smaller than the old M21, and just looks more modern.

I can say it does work, and it works very well.

So, it makes everything appear bright to your eyes, with the reticle a bit muted.

This is not a deal breaker at all, but it is something of which to be aware.

I personally got the chance to look through and use both.

I honestly like the Bullseye setup a bit more than the triangle, but that is just personal preference.

This can destroy batteries, so not having a battery powering your optic is a big advantage.
