Viridian Weapon Technologies is launching a new, customized version of its RFX 11 “green dot” reflex sight that’s designed exclusively for KelTec firearms. The RFX 11 is one of Viridian’s most-popular pistol mounted optics and this specific edition was created to match the style and design of KelTec firearms.

This compact 3-MOA reflex sight is built with the Shield Arms RMSc footprint and only weighs .4 ounce, making it one of the lightest reflex sights currently available in the optics market. Given its overall size, the new Viridian RFX 11 1×16 Green Dot Optic mates perfectly to KelTec’s optics-ready handgun models such as the P15 or P17. With the color green being part of Viridian’s brand identity, the RFX 11 uses a green emitter to project a green dot onto its fully multi coated distortion free lens. This reflex optic is also equipped with Viridian's “Instant On” activation, an auto shut-off feature and an ambient light sensor that modulates the emitter’s projection intensity depending on changing environmental lighting conditions. These features are part of the reason why the RFX has over 30,000 hours of runtime from a CR 2032 battery.

“KelTec’s firearms have a reputation for innovation and dependability, making this collaboration a natural fit,” said Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen. “This exclusive reflex sight embodies everything Viridian stands for—precision, visibility, and reliability—while complementing KelTec’s unique design philosophy.”

The new Viridian Weapon Technologies RFX 11 1x16 green-dot optic for KelTec firearms has a standard retail price of $169.
