Great review!!! Just picked up an MPS myself, you can program out that auto-off feature by holding both + and - for 10 seconds!!!

I picked one up awhile ago and absolutely love it. I run it on a M18 and works beautifully. Very fast transitions and clear dot. I feel like this and the Acro are going to be the better choice for people looking for tanks. I also have an sro and feel as if they Arnt too different in sight picture other than the shape. I ended up with the sro on a carbine personally.

The MPS is on my radar 100%. I am super glad about the fact the closed emitter ecosystem is growing, the 509T got me into dots, and I have an EPS Carry with the 6 MOA dot on the way (Brownells code TA10 for 10% off) for the P365X. PS. I definitely think my goal with the enclosed dot differs from some others. I mostly just wanted to have something that could live under a shirt and not worry about having to clean out the dust bowl. I have had mine since late last year, and it seems to be managing ok 🤞. But in terms of something that I would beat on, I would say the MPS and the Romeo2 look to be two of the most bomb proof optics available.

Great review Ben!

Very Sick Stick!

I have one on a G19, have run it hard in 2 classes and I also shoot almost every day as a CRSO. 6 months no issues. I'm going to get another for my AR pistol.

I was thinking of picking one of these up when Midway had them on sale, I wish I had. I still might, but at the price it would have been even better

I have one that I'm running on an RS Regulated side rail on my Arsenal SAM7. I like that it doesn't add too much weight, but provides a crisp aiming point for quick target acquisition, unlike irons. Also it has great glass!

This is the review I needed

Nothing like a wiseman video to validate my recent purchase. I picked it up to run as an offset on my 14.5.

perfect for what we needed it for

I’ve had this mounted on my FNX 45 for about a year now, and I love it! I have all three “mailboxes” and I definitely like this one the best. If you go through the manual, you can program the auto off out. Great vid!

Definitely a worthy purchase😍

Always had good luck with Steiner optics.

I have enjoyed the mps since day one. Have had no issues whatsoever with it.

I have 2 509T's haven't used either much yet, so we'll see how they hold up.

I have the MPS on a pistol and the ACRO gen2 piggybacked on my rifle. Comparing them side by side, they are extremely similar. The only real advantage the ACRO has is the bigger battery and therefore more battery life. The only issue I have with the MPS is that it prints when carrying concealed due to the sharp, distinct upper edge.

I have 3. One on Springfield Echelon, Shadow System XR920, and FN 510. All enclosed emitters have smaller windows than the less than combat worthy SRO. Once you train with them, they are fine. Cost, build quality and clarity keep me buying them. I high recommend if you are looking for enclosed emitter.

Good review. I run one on a PDP handgun but already want a second one for my rifle. Auto shutoff can be disabled but the battery life is still shorter than some of the competition. I feel like they could jam a cr2032 into the same housing so there’s hope for a gen 2. The mount is a little different than acro so some acro mounting plates don’t work very well but most do. I bought mine at Midway for $379 which is a steal for this optic, but I haven’t seen them that low since. The only other thing That surprised me is that you mentioned the bad durability of the 509 but still run SROs I’ve heard those break fairly easily but I have no personal experience with them so it just could just be internet taking.

Mine was ok, couldn’t get the auto off setting to switch off after trying it per the instructions a few times. Clear glass though. Still prefer a 509Tv2.

I bought one because I couldnt get an p2 at the time, Shot both now love the steiner

Like the first acro battery life is a issue for me, along with the auto off. Most of us replace a 50 thousand hr battery ever year (10 thousand ish hrs) to be safe. So for this with 13 thousand how often are we talking

Pretty bummed with the 509 as well. I like the form factor and features but I also had to return some and luckily haven't had a moisture issue yet.

I really wanted this for my Walther full size pdp. It fills pretty much all my needs except for 1 silly reason and that's how it looks. I know looks should be of very minimal concern, especially on a tool that I carry during the cooler parts of the year but I just can't seem to get over this problem I have. Luckily a good buddy has one on the exact same platform and I got to try it before buying. Performed great and really had minimal effect on my astigmatism too. Alas, the search continues...

I like the Acro p2 better but this is ok

Long time fan from Mount Joy! Are you still up here or are you spending most of your time in FL at JTAC?

Heard a lot of issues with QC on the interwebs. The battery life also isn't on par with competitors. These make me want to avoid this in favor of the other two enclosed options. I also don't like the way it works.

Does your thumb 👍🏽 get in the way of the red dot 🔴 when using the light switch❓️

I didn’t like the ACRO on my pistol as much as the SRO either I could always find the dot faster with the open emitter but love Steiner though!🤯🔫👍🏼

What job do you have that your on the range 6 days a week… because I WANT THAT!

Check out the AEMS. By holosun. Cleanest dot I have ever seen.

What length is that galil?

You mention that you like running the SRO on handguns, how have they held up durability wise?

Looking into one to run as an offset.

Nice galil

IDK why but the intro tunes have me giggen!

Good info. By your standard...I shoot a lot!

What mount did you use for the Steiner on the Galil? I have a Sig 556 SBR that could use a light weight optic

Recently saw another large KZfaqr using this optic. It's really hard to beat the new Primary Arms 1x Prism Optic for rifles. Don't really see why anyone would put a mailbox on a rifle. Closed emitters have always been available for rifles. Fairly new to the pistol optics game, but not new to rifles....

That looks like the sport car of rds

I concur. Just got mine on my xdm elite osp tactical It is a postal box but seeing the testing done by safe dynamics and seclusion outdoors the optic is an absolute tank

MPS still holding up?

What about the parallax? Bet that short overall length of that red dot will cause misses unless lined up perfectly

Interested in an update on your experience with this optic. My issue with the SRO is durability. Sorry but its just not the RMR, I broke two in the last 16 months. Trijicons warranty process was great, but as for a duty rated optic, NOPE, doing combatives broke both, getting slammed into a padded wall, busted the glass, and rolling on the ground broke the other, Eric at Sage Dynamics and The guys at Seclusion Outdoors beat the hell out of this optic and it took it. I have a combative training coming up so we'll see how well it holds up, but I'm feeling really pretty good about it.

Wonder about this vs holosun aems for my hk ump45?

You should put that on top of an ACOG

What pants in the second clip around 00:13 seconds

Vertical Pistol Grips are the future.

I thought Steiner had an update where you can turn off the auto off.

Hows the battery life though? Heard it was junk.

I went with the XPS2 holographic instead. The size is talked about but this is smaller minus NODS capability and I'm seeing these both at the same price point. Actually, that MPS looks like a small television sitting on top my MP5. I would be interested in an authentic DI Optical FC1 red dot though. Semper Fi.

You can turn off the auto off so that it stays on

own 11 Holosuns,and have gone to Steiner,Holosuns customer service is the worst!

Comment for the algorithm gods 🗿

That's if you can get an Acro P2. Still waiting...

*7:40** I got less than 400 hours out of mine. 13,000 hours is absolute BS.*

🤙👊💪🇺🇲

And because everyone just follows the yt and other crowd

You know something is made in china when almost every other manufacturer has a variant of it.

P2 is better

ACRO P-2’s can be had for sub $600. I don’t think this thing has a place on the market unless you’re getting it for sub $300, or you inherited a lifetime supply of 1632 batteries.

My personal opinion is that whether the steiner MPS is for you depends on what type of personality you have. If you're a glass half empty person, it's a closed emitter dot with half the battery life of an aimpoint acro p2 :( If you're a glass half full guy it's a closed emitter dot with 3-5 times the battery life of an aimpoint acro p1:) If you're poor, it's a slightly overpriced holosun 509t. If you're a special snowflake it's a better looking aimpoint/holosun. If you're an autobot.... it's a decepticon!

*I think it's junk. Overpriced, lacking in features, and they lie about the hours on time.*
