For 50 years, Aimpoint has set the gold standard in red dot sights, trusted by professionals and enthusiasts seeking fast target acquisition and rugged reliability. The Aimpoint Duty RDS continues this tradition with a compact, durable design ideal for law enforcement and personal defense.

Lightweight and Compact Performance

Weighing only 3.9 ounces and measuring 2.7 inches long, the Duty RDS keeps your rifle light and maneuverable while maintaining a generous sight window. The optic features a crisp 2 MOA red dot with 10 brightness settings, including night vision compatibility, allowing quick adaptation in any environment.

Rugged Reliability with Long Battery Life

As a parallax-free red dot sight, the Duty RDS allows flexible mounting without worrying about eye relief, letting you focus on your target, not your head position. The flush-mounted controls and snag-free profile are built for harsh use, while the battery life offers up to 30,000 hours of runtime on a single CR2032 battery, ensuring your optic is ready when you need it.

Mounting Made Simple

Mounting is simple with the included one-piece Picatinny mount, and the Duty RDS is compatible with other Aimpoint Micro and CompM5 mounts, allowing easy integration into your rifle setup.

Proven Performance, Accessible Price
