Swampfox Sentinel

The smallest micro red-dot in Swampfox’s lineup, the Sentinel was designed specifically for use aboard micro- and sub-compact pistols, and it’s built tough enough to withstand the rigors of daily concealed carry, thanks to its hardcoat-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum housing.

This Shield-footprint optic stands just 1.6"x1"x1", yet its relatively generously sized viewing lens and thin hood provide a wide field of view, and the 3-m.o.a. aiming dot is large enough to be easily picked up by the eye, yet small enough for precise shot placement.

The Sentinel is offered in two versions: the always-on “A Model” with automatic brightness controls and the motion-sensing, shake-awake “M Model” (shown) with 10 manually adjustable brightness settings—both of which are available with either a red or green dot.

MSRP is $229 (Sentinel-M); $249 (Sentinel-A). For more information, visit swampfoxoptics.com.
