It\u2019s called the Ruger ReadyDot Optic, and it requires no batteries to function thanks to its utilization of fiber optics. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s also non-adjustable and has no controls for changing windage or elevation. Why? Ruger claims that with compatible pistols the ReadyDot will be zeroed out of the box.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-feature.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger-ReadyDot-feature\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-289052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-feature.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-feature-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-feature-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-feature-696x450.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-feature-650x420.jpg 650w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Featuring the common Shield RMSc mounting footprint, the ReadyDot was specifically designed to co-witness the iron sights of Ruger Max-9 pistols. However, Ruger also claims that the optic is compatible with similar compact optics-ready handguns that feature the correct mounting pattern. Once installed, the ReadyDot should both co-witness the irons and be adequately zeroed for use at typical pistol engagement distances.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot\" class=\"wp-image-289053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-696x450.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-650x420.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-289053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-696x450.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-Max9-w-ReadyDot-650x420.jpg 650w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Because the optic is based on fiber optics rather than battery power, it automatically adjusts the dot\u2019s brightness to the ambient light level. The only downside to this concept is that the ReadyDot will not function in zero-light environments and may be difficult to use in low-light environments. For normal conditions, however, its large 15-MOA dot should be very visible and easy to use. The simplicity of the red dot results in two more advantages as well in the form of high durability and a low price. Because it lacks any adjustment mechanisms, the zero can\u2019t be thrown off by accident or from too much shock. This also allows it to be marketed as both waterproof and shock resistant. \u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger-ReadyDot\" class=\"wp-image-289054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger-ReadyDot\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-289054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ruger-ReadyDot-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>As mentioned, the final bonus to this simple little optic is its low price, as it has an MSRP of only $99.95.
