The “Minimalist” designation reflects a design philosophy that prioritizes a clean sight picture. This is achieved by using a blacked-out, serrated rear sight. This design choice aims to reduce distractions and direct the shooter’s focus to the front sight.

This approach is particularly relevant in the context of red dot optics, where a less cluttered rear sight can enhance the user’s ability to quickly acquire the red dot. A key feature of the Minimalist sights is the tritium front sight, providing excellent visibility in low-light or no-light conditions. Its Glow Dot also absorbs ambient light, enhancing visibility in low light conditions.
