Skip worrying about sight alignment, eye dominance or finding your target. This FastFire Red Dot Sight provides parallax-free, 1x magnification that allows both eyes-open shooting for enhanced awareness. Plus the compact and lightweight design won’t disrupt your balance or handgun handling.
Constructed of metal for strength and durability, this sight’s lenses are precision-ground and polished to exacting geometries to provide a clear, crisp sight picture. The FastFire 3 offers the features you want with easy handling and mounting.
- Waterproof roof to keep the glass of your sight clean

- Choice of automatic or 3 settings of manual brightness sensors to adjust to lighting conditions
- Windage and elevation adjustments to make fine-tuning easy
FASTFIRE 3 FEATURES
DOT SIZE:
- Generally speaking, the 8 MOA dot is most popular for short range shooters, especially with handguns or shotguns. The larger dot makes target acquisition quicker.
- The 3 MOA dot is most popular with rifles, or anyone wanting more pin-point accuracy, as the smaller dot covers far less of the overall target area.
TECH NOTES:
- The FastFire 3 will easily work with the Glock MOS system.
- The FastFire 3 will work with virtually every "optics ready" handgun. However, the Burris supplied mounting hardware may not be the correct length for every single handgun. Please contact the firearm manufacturer for specific hardware lengths necessary for correct mounting.
Light and tough, the FastFire 3 series puts an unmistakable, bright red dot on your target to give you an immediate speed and accuracy advantage. Can be used as a primary sight or paired on top of an existing sight.

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the aiming scope sight. They mention that it works very well for rapid fire shots, and has not had any problems with it. The dot is crisp, and it works beautifully on handguns and can hold its own on larger platforms. The other settings work well, and the system works reliably under rapid fire or slow fire sequence. The optional rail and base with Burris worked well, making the sight easy to use.

I took this to the range and had no problems zeroing the sight at 10 meters. The adjustments are very easy to make (1 MOA per click) and it holds zero very well. This model has an 8 MOA dot which is quite large (8 inches at 100 yards) and meant for close distances. I have tried this sight out to 25 yards (max at my indoor range) and the sight is very accurate between 5 and 25 yards (you do have to compensate your point of aim at different distances depending on the distance you zeroed the sight). For handguns, 8 MOA is a really good size because you are typically shooting at relatively close distances.
There is a combination on/off and brightness square rubber push button switch on the left side of the sight. The sequence is ON - AUTO Bright - High Bright - Medium Bright - Low Bright - OFF. It does have an auto off feature, and if the sight turns itself off, the next time you push the button it will activate whatever the last mode you were using. The Auto setting is very good and the light sensor at the front of the sight will adjust the dot intensity pretty well. I have tried looking at the dot from a dark room and into a brightly lit room and the dot is dim but still very good. The opposite, from a brightly lit room into a dark room, the dot is quite bright, but again very good and usable. Even on the brightest setting, the dot is a whole lot less distorted than I've seen on other, even more expensive sights.
This sight has the battery access from the top of the sight, unlike the previous version of this sight where you had to dismount the sight and disturb your zero to replace the battery. The cap is finely threaded aluminum that is easy to cross-thread if you're not careful. The battery that came with the sight was dead, so I used a replacement battery (CR1632 3 Volt) and had no trouble installing it. The sight is small so finding the dot for the first time took me a bit, but once you get used to the sight, finding the dot is no issue. The sight is made with an aluminum chassis and appears to be very durable, but I'm not abusing the sight intentionally to test how durable it is.
The sight is really great. With my old eyes not able to focus in on the front sight post of my pistol, this red dot sight allows me to be a lot more accurate than with the iron sights. This allows you to easily shoot with both eyes open and focused on the target. With iron sights, its easy to get tunnel vision. Besides, if you are being attacked, you are focused on your attacker and probably not on your front sight. The red dot sight gives you a real advantage in this regard.
The only complaint I have, is that the sight does not come with a protective cover. It does come with a big sun shade, but I would like a small cover so I can protect the sight when I'm cleaning my gun. You can easily get cleaner on the lens of the sight and it's a pain to get completely clean again. You really don't want to dismount the sight once it's zeroed so this is one drawback. I now use some plastic wrap to cover the sight while I'm cleaning it.
Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of this sight. I have fired a few hundred rounds with this sight and it has held zero perfectly. The mounting is solid and handles the recoil and movement of the slide very well. The 8 MOA dot is easy to pick up, and the sight provides me a more accurate sight picture than with the iron sights. I'm happy with this purchase and can recommend this sight to anyone.
Burris Fastfire III:
Pros:
The size/weight: This is the smallest and lightest red-dot on the market that I know of (Trijicons are close). Way smaller and lighter than EOTechs, and of course, smaller than the Bushnell TRS-25. Because of its small size, it is able to be mounted on pistols. Some pistols are even pre-fitted for it, such as the FN-FNX 45 Tactical.
The battery life: Just like the TRS-25, this has amazing battery life. I am very impressed at how long they are able to extend the battery life now in these.
The design/quality: The design is perfect for me, I love how low-profile and light it is. It really adds so much functionality to a gun without adding weight or bulkiness. It also has a very precise 3 MOA dot.
Cons:
Cost: As far as I’m concerned, this is still the best red-dot at this price point, but I’m not convinced it is worth its entire cost.
It might be more fragile than other red dots: I wouldn’t call it fragile by any means, but if you dropped your gun directly on top of the red-dot, I’m not confident that it would remain intact (there’s a possibility). But it can surely handle any type of recoil.
There was a large imperfection in the glass on my first one, so I had to exchange it for a new one.
Bushnell TRS-25:
Pros:
Cost: You cannot get better quality or design for this price.
Quality/Design: All cost factors aside, the quality and design of this red-dot are great.
Functionality: While it states that it is 3 MOA, I believe it’s more like 2-6 MOA, because the dot gets bigger or smaller with the light setting adjustment. This is actually helpful, because you get an adjustable MOA red-dot which gives you a greater ability to use it in multiple applications.
Rigidity: This goes along with quality and design, but it’s important to note that this thing is solid once you mount it.
Battery life: I still haven’t had to replace any batteries; I’ve had them over 2 years.
Cons:
This tube design is slightly bulky compared the Burris Fastfire III. I really wouldn’t call it bulky in general, only in comparison to the Fastfire.
The projector block is in your line of sight.
It’s not free.
All in all, I like both for different reasons, but if you just want a great red-dot for the money, go with the TRS-25. The only time I can recommend the Fastfire, is if you wanted to put a red-dot on a pistol. Otherwise, I’m not convinced it’s worth the price difference.
I tried to cover as much as I could, but this is getting rather lengthy, so please let me know if you have any questions and I’ll make sure to answer them!
