Sightmark Mini Shot M2 Solar
Reflex Sight – 3 MOA Red Dot with RMR Footprint
Solar-powered, IP67 waterproof and directly compatible with Trijicon RMR mounts – the most versatile solar reflex sight for pistol and rifle.
Solar reflex sight with RMR footprint – direct pistol mount without adapters
The Sightmark Mini Shot M2 Solar combines solar technology and automatic brightness control with the industry-leading Trijicon RMR footprint. This means it mounts directly onto pistols with RMR-cut slides – no additional adapter plate required. Weighing 71 g (without mount) with a 21 × 15 mm viewing window, the M2 Solar delivers a full-featured reflex sight in a compact package. The front-facing light sensor automatically adjusts dot brightness to the environment – no on/off switch, no manual adjustment. The top-mounted solar panel can power the sight entirely independently of the CR1620 battery, which itself delivers over 20,000 hours of runtime. The fully enclosed 6061-T6 aluminium housing is IP67 waterproof and withstands .45 ACP recoil.
Compatibility · Mount footprint
Trijicon RMR footprint – straight onto the slide, instantly ready
The Trijicon RMR footprint is the most widely adopted mounting standard for pistol reflex sights. Hundreds of pistols – including models from Glock, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson and CZ – offer an RMR-compatible cut from the factory or with pre-milled slides. The Mini Shot M2 Solar fits directly onto these cuts without requiring an additional adapter plate. For rail mounting, Sightmark also includes a low-profile mount and a 1/3 co-witness riser mount – covering both direct pistol mounting and rifle mounting.
Solar panel + automatic brightness – always on, always correctly set
The top-mounted solar panel on the Mini Shot M2 Solar can power the sight entirely on its own in sufficient ambient light – with no on/off switch. The front-facing light sensor automatically adjusts dot brightness: brighter in harsh sunlight, dimmer at dusk. The result is an always-on sight that requires no manual attention. The CR1620 battery serves as reserve power and delivers over 20,000 hours of operation – roughly 2.3 years of continuous use.
IP67 & shockproof – reliable in all conditions
The Mini Shot M2 Solar is rated IP67 for complete protection against dust and temporary submersion. The matte black anodised 6061-T6 aluminium housing is fully enclosed and withstands .45 ACP recoil and drops from 90 cm. The multicoated lenses are anti-reflective and scratch-resistant. The operating temperature range of −30 to +50 °C makes the sight ready for any deployment – from winter hunting to summer competition.
Sightmark Lifetime Warranty – lifelong protection
Sightmark backs the Mini Shot M2 Solar with the Sightmark Lifetime Warranty. This lifetime guarantee covers material and manufacturing defects and underlines the manufacturer’s confidence in the durability of its products. In addition, the statutory 2-year Swiss warranty applies.
