Sightmark SM26018 Core Shot Compact Reflex Sight A-spec LQD Matte Black 1 x 28 mm x 18 mm 5 MOA Red Dot

Compact reflex sights demand reliability when every millisecond counts. The Sightmark SM26018 Core Shot delivers unlimited eye relief and a clean 5 MOA dot in a footprint built for AR platforms and modern carbines. Whether you're setting up a San Ramon-area range gun or handling an FFL transfer in Sunnyvale, this sight pairs easily with standard Picatinny rails and quick-acquisition optics philosophies.

5 MOA dot and AR red coating

The 5 MOA red dot sits in the sweet spot between speed and precision—large enough for rapid target transitions, small enough for accuracy at distance. AR Red coating reduces glare in bright conditions while the matte black finish prevents light reflection. At 2.30 inches and weighing minimal ounces, the Core Shot won't tax your handguard or throw balance off. Unlimited eye relief means you're not locked into a specific mounting position, a feature shooters pairing optics with PC §32100 exempt revolvers often appreciate for flexibility.

What adjustment increment does this sight use?

The SM26018 adjusts in 1 MOA clicks, letting you dial windage and elevation precisely without overshooting your zero. Standard for reflex sights in this class.

Can I use this on both rifles and pistols?

Yes. The 1x28mm tube and Picatinny mount work on AR platforms, carbines, and any firearm with standard top rail real estate. Unlimited eye relief removes pistol-specific constraints.
