DRS1X
Engineered for speed, simplicity and accuracy
The DRS1X lives up to its namesake with rapid and lethal target engagement at close quarters.
The DRS (Defendu Reflex Sight) is so versatile and effective at close range, we've named it after the famed Lt. Colonel William Ewart Fairbairn whose Close Quarters Combat system was designed to rapidly disable an opponent with potentially lethal force. Perfect for tactical operations or home defense, the 1x reflex sight offers three reticles calibrated for speed and accuracy at 7, 25 and 50 yards.
The ultimate CQB sight, it is built with Steiner's legendary ruggedness. Lightweight, compact and simple to use.

Wanted to Like It
I really wanted to like this optic but I have to say this was a waste of money. Having multiple dot options and it using standard batteries caused me to buy this optic. I heard complaints about dot brightness but the brightness was fine.
The red dot is not a dot anymore but an L shaped blob. It was fine out of the box but it was dropped a couple of times and now I don’t have a red dot. I should have went with the Aimpoint. I have used Steiner lasers in the Army and those things are indestructible. However, this was just a dud.

Best CQB sight out there
I just recently purchased this sight, and I must say I absolutely love it. The field of view is bigger and better than any Eotech I have. I have approx. 500 rounds on it and have not had one issue. Great Job Steiner !!

Failed after 31 rounds.
I bought this sight and mounted it to my rifle. A few days later I took it to a place I could zero it. I got it zeroed in about 20 rounds it was super easy and I loved the sight. I emptied the remaining 10 rounds into the target with a great grouping and put the rifle away. The very next day I got the opportunity to shoot again and got to my location took my rifle out of my bag loaded it up turned the sight on and sent a round down range and the sight turned off. I tried turning it back on and nothing happened, I went to take the batteries out and noticed the sight housing was hot. When I took the batteries out one was extremely hot it burned my hand. I replaced both the batteries and the sight still did not turn on and once again got hot. I took out the one battery that was getting hot and the sight worked again and I was able to shoot for the rest of the day using one battery. But I didn’t not like how quickly it failed so I sent it back to where I got it and ordered an eotech to replace it.

I recently purchased a Steiner DSR1X red dot. In daylight, i can only see the reticle on the brightest setting and even that is dim. I put in new AA batteries and there was no difference. Does this mean the ret dot is not operating properly.
They are definitely supposed to be daylight bright on a few settings. If you think there might be something wrong we can definitely take a look at it.

With an astigmatism, often red dot type sights are blurry or have a starburst-ed effect to the sight picture. How does this sight compare/what type of sight picture can I expect? 1 or 2 MOA dots are easy to overcome but what about a 13.64 MOA dot?
Since it is a red dot sight it could interfere with an astigmatism on the smaller reticle settings. The large reticle is big enough that I have not heard any complaints.

No, these are designed to be used at any time including bright daylight.
