Y’all know I am still on the fence about red dot and reflex sights, but after a few reviews, I am starting to see the appeal. The Meosight IV is the latest iteration of reflex sights and is the smallest reflex from Meopta.
The rocker switch on the port side of the base of the sight controls the brightness of the 3 MOA dot. Turning the brightness down all the way turns the dot off; if you forget, the sight will turn itself off after four hours.
The CR 1632 battery is installed on the top with an estimated battery life of 30,000 hours. The elevation is adjusted by the slotted head on the top rear of the sight’s body.
Windage is adjusted by the slotted head on the starboard side of the sight’s body, made from aircraft-grade aluminum.
I used the Ruger MK IV 22/45, as reviewed here, because I am quite comfortable with that pistol and am still learning the reflex sight. With myself and several of my friends and family running some 1000 rounds through the Ruger with the Meosight IV, the sight had no issues. It held zero, and any adjustments were made without problem. After this review, I am beginning to come around to the reflex sight on a handgun. I will not be going out and adding one to my carry gun yet, but I do see the appeal.
Since this is the smallest reflex sight Meopta makes, it would serve well as a primary or backup sight on a rifle we well as a handgun mounting securely to a Picatinny Rail or is compatible with standard-size optics-ready pistol systems using a Docter adapter plate.
