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.
