Primary Arms Optics is releasing a second generation of the Classic Series 24mm Mini Reflex Sight (MRS). This new optic continues the Primary Arms’ tradition of providing affordable optics that have reliable performance, resulting in reflex sights accessible to all shooters. The MRS features a large 24x17mm lens that is optimized for full-size carry pistols and competition firearms. The 24mm MRS fits the popular HS407C/507C/RMR footprint, making it compatible with a wide range of slides and mounting platforms.

The second-generation Mini Reflex sight now features Primary Arms’ AutoLive technology. AutoLive uses an advanced motion sensor to turn off the illumination of the optic when not in use, conserving battery life while sitting motionless for an extended time while still ensuring the sight returns to full brightness when you need it.

Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics, commented on the new release: "The second generation of our Classic Series MRS reflex sight represents a significant upgrade. With the introduction of AutoLive, users will experience a new level of convenience and reliability that ensures their optic is always ready for action."
