  • Luke C (‪@BallisticAviation‬ ) is talking with Jordan from Meprolight Optics about some of their latest updates to the M22 line of self-illuminated optics, as well as a new Magnifier they've just debuted in 2024. The new MMX3 magnifier is a more compact and more adaptable version of the previous Meprolight 3X magnifier and comes in at a price of about $350 MSRP. Meanwhile, the successor to the M21, the M22, is getting a new light module kit for even more self-illumination options, as well as a new polarizer for use in brightly lit environments.

    A red dot without batteries sounded great... until I heard all the downsides that are then re-solved with batteries! 🙃

    Its great seeing this thing get the update it deserves. I was playing with getting an M21 but it was so outdated. I’ll still wait on reviews and initial debugging but I will likely get one for my X95

    As someone who's had an M21 for a couple years, I would like to make a couple comments on it.
    As an outdoor optic it's fantastic. I regularly shoot out in the deserts of Utah and in broad daylight, I favor that optic over a red dot. But washout is a real concern, it is not an optic I would use for home defense. At home, in the dark, it washes out too easily if i turn on my WML
    I have tried an LED attachment to the optic, a third party accessory called the REM21. It works fine, at the brightest setting it gets the optic red dot bright, but it's bulky and I'm not all that into how many settings it has for brightness. I think a 3 setting brightness is the way to go, keep it simple.
    Speaking of bulky, the M21 is also quite bulky and I like it for that. I like how it takes up so much rail space I'm not looking at bare rails, which peeves me a little bit but thats a personal issue. Not a big fan of how they shrunk the optic, but I understand I'm the outlier here. I do appreciate how tanky and beefy the M21 is though. I've been rough and careless in treating optics, and I've yet to make a scratch in the M21, whereas I've dented the housing on my Sig Romeo optics.
    I think the M21/M22 have their place, it's not a replacement for a red dot optic but if you're looking for a hassle free optic for a gun you're gonna be shooting outdoors all the time, it's definitely a good optic for that. Its use case is much more limited than red dots, but when you have a use case for it, it really does shine and offer a lot.

    I held one of these in the store… couldn’t even see the reticle hardly and when I looked out the front window of the store it completely disappeared. Go into a store and actually hold one - you’ll see I’m not lying. I really was about to buy this thing and just handed it back to the guy.

    I bought an m22 in hopes it would be better than my two m21s, nope. It is not usable in a house setting with window curtaines open or closed. That's the same issue as the m21s but i already had led light kits on those. It looks really cool though and lights up well outside. For my eyes, its reticle was not really any more clearer than my m21s. I ended up returning it to opticsplanet.

    Meprolight makes good optics but I believe they are very overpriced for their features (or lack of them). Since they are a strategic industry to Israel and have secure military contracts, I don’t think their prices will go down any time soon.
