These work really well and aren\u2019t easily changed by accident.<\/p>\n<p>The aluminum housing is, of course, waterproof. That\u2019s pretty much the point here. Is protecting the emitter really that big a deal? No, assuming you know that you\u2019ll never be shooting outside in the rain or dropping your gun in the dirt.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had it happen to me. I\u2019ve been shooting out in the rain with an open emitter red dot. One drop on the emitter scrambles the LED image bouncing off the front lens of the optic. Instead of a nice clear 3 MOA dot, you get lots of smaller flecks bouncing back at you. All you can do at that point is use your shirt tail to try to soak up the water in there enough to restore the dot image.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_543027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-543027\" style=\"width: 1442px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-543027 size-full\" alt=\"Riton 3 Tactix EED enclosed emitter red dot sight \" width=\"1442\" height=\"1978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10.jpg 1442w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-510x700.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-768x1053.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-1120x1536.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-150x206.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-300x412.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-696x955.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-1068x1465.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-306x420.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-560x768.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1442px) 100vw, 1442px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-543027 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10.jpg\" alt=\"Riton 3 Tactix EED enclosed emitter red dot sight \" width=\"1442\" height=\"1978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10.jpg 1442w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-510x700.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-768x1053.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-1120x1536.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-150x206.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-300x412.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-696x955.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-1068x1465.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-306x420.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton10-560x768.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1442px) 100vw, 1442px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-543027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It doesn\u2019t show well in the photograph above, but you can make out the red dot on the bottom left corner of the target. The dot appears bright and clear to the naked eye.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019e the view through the 3 Tactix EED. It\u2019s clear and bright. The dot is well-defined with no halo or flare. The characteristic blue tint is slight here, though it\u2019s unusual. It\u2019s hard to tell in the image above, but the view gets gradually more blue as you look from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<p>I\u201dm not sure why that is, but it didn\u2019t cause me any problems. I shot outdoors in full sun, under clouds (as above) and indoors. I never had a problem picking up a clear dot.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 Tactix\u2019s dot brightness is constant. It doesn\u2019t adjust depending on environment or the brightness of the area in front of it. I generally prefer that, but your mileage may vary. The adjustment range is more than wide enough to get good, useable dots in any conceivable lighting situation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543024 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"1909\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-scaled.jpg 1909w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-522x700.jpg 522w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-768x1030.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1145x1536.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1527x2048.jpg 1527w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-300x402.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-696x933.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1068x1432.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1920x2575.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-313x420.jpg 313w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-560x751.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1909px) 100vw, 1909px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543024 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1909\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-scaled.jpg 1909w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-522x700.jpg 522w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-768x1030.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1145x1536.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1527x2048.jpg 1527w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-300x402.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-696x933.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1068x1432.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-1920x2575.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-313x420.jpg 313w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/riton7-560x751.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1909px) 100vw, 1909px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Is it bigger than a standard reflex sight?
