The Crimson Trace CT RAD Electronic Sight (brand part no. 01-01780) is a full-size open reflex optic built for full-frame pistols, featuring a red 3 MOA aiming dot through a recessed, fully multi-coated lens with a large acquisition window. An automatic shutoff function powers the optic down after 8 consecutive hours of continuous operation to save battery, while large side brightness buttons let shooters switch it on or off manually, easy to find even with gloves. It installs on an optics-cut slide using the CT RAD footprint, which is also compatible with the Docter footprint, and textured sides give a secure grip when racking the slide.
