The Future Is Here: Top Gun Sights of 2025-2026 (Red Dots, Holographic, Thermal & More Compared)
In 2025, enclosed-emitter micro red dots dominated the market, led by Aimpoint’s COA ultra-compact duty sight with an A-Cut mounting interface that locks directly into Glock slides. Trijicon released the Ruggedized Closed Reflex (RCR) for the RMR footprint, featuring a 7075-T6 Owl Ear housing, a top-loading battery, and waterproofing to 20 meters. C&H Precision introduced the EDC Enclosed micro red dot under $250 MSRP, using the RMSc footprint with shake-to-wake activation and a side-loading battery tray. The Burris FastFire E line expanded into a larger enclosed design with a 3.5 MOA dot, 60,000-hour battery life, and approximately a $420 MSRP.
