Steiner Launches the MPS-C—A Lighter, More Compact Enclosed Emitter Red Dot

Greeley, CO – Steiner Optics, the leader in high-performance sighting systems for military, law enforcement, and armed professionals, expands its pistol optics lineup with the Steiner MPS-C. Designed for today’s concealed carry users and compact-frame pistols, the MPS-C delivers the same battle-proven pedigree as the original MPS—now in a more compact RMSc footprint optimized for everyday defense.

Purpose-engineered for the demanding environments faced by law enforcement officers and protection-minded citizens alike, the MPS-C retains the same trusted internal architecture of the original optic. A fully sealed, enclosed emitter protects the optic from debris, moisture, and environmental contamination while the hard-anodized Class III aluminum housing with reinforced sidewalls provides exceptional impact resistance. At just 1.13 ounces, the MPS-C adds minimal weight to a carry pistol while maintaining Steiner’s uncompromising durability standards.

Despite its compact size—measuring just 1.46 x 1.27 x 1.08 inches—the MPS-C gives a clear, distortion-free sight picture through a protected, recessed window shielded by a thick metal shroud. The optic features a true 1x magnification and a crisp 1.6 MOA red dot, enabling fast, both-eyes-open target acquisition for close-range defensive engagements and high-stress scenarios.

User-adjustable brightness includes 12 illumination levels, with 10 visible settings for day and low-light use and two night-vision compatible modes, ensuring adaptability across lighting conditions. Powered by a CR1632 battery, the MPS-C offers an impressive 46,125 hours of continuous runtime on the lowest setting, 13,000 hours at medium brightness, and is supported by an integrated motion-sensing “shake-awake” feature and user selectable 13-hour auto off that conserves power without sacrificing readiness.

The Steiner MPS-C joins the company’s growing lineup of premium pistol optics, giving concealed carry users access to proven durability, enclosed-emitter reliability, and compact concealment performance—without compromise.

ATN’s New ThOR 6 Elite: The Most Advanced Thermal Rifle Scope Built for Hunters

ATN Corp, America’s leading innovator in smart hunting optics and thermal imaging technology, today announced the launch of the ATN ThOR 6 Elite, the most capable thermal hunting scope the company has ever built. Powered by an all-new 6th Generation thermal engine and ATN’s proprietary SharpIR© AI image enhancement technology, the ThOR 6 Elite was designed from the ground up for hunters: coyote hunters, hog hunters, whitetail hunters, predator hunters, and everyone who has ever wished their thermal scope could see more, do more, and hold up to whatever the field throws at it. This is what hunters have been asking for — and ATN has delivered.

6th Generation Thermal Core: See the Unseen

At the heart of the ThOR 6 Elite is ATN’s new 6th Generation thermal engine, available in 384×288 or 640×512 resolution — both featuring industry-leading ?15mK NETD ultra-sensitive sensors built on a 12?m pixel pitch. These sensors detect the faintest heat differences, enabling early target detection at longer ranges, sharper detail at higher zoom, and consistent performance in hot, humid, or low-contrast environments where other thermal scopes fall short.

For hunters, that means spotting a coyote tucked tight against a cedar fence line at 400 yards, picking out a hog rooting through tall grass in total darkness, or catching movement on a distant ridgeline well before first light. Read more
