The Alpen Argus Sub-Compact is an open-emitter red dot with an RMRc footprint and three switchable reticles — a single dot for precision, a circle for fast acquisition, and a combined circle-with-dot for speed-plus-accuracy. One MOA clicks and a 98-click elevation adjustment range give it usable zero-and-track range on most pistols and compact carbines; at 70 grams the sight disappears on slide-mounted setups.

Key Features

• Three reticle options — single dot, circle, or circle-with-dot, selected with a press-and-hold of the brightness button
• RMRc footprint for direct mounting on pistols with the industry-standard optics cut
• DynamicDot motion wake — auto-standby after two minutes without movement, instant-on when the sight is picked up
• 10 illumination levels spanning daytime to NVG-compatible low settings
• CR1632 battery for long-life runtime
• Waterproof to 1 m / 30 min and shock-tested to 1000 G
• Aluminum housing keeps the footprint durable without adding weight

Ideal For

• Pistol shooters running a slide-cut handgun and wanting an Alpen-quality optic below the typical carry-gun red-dot price bracket
• Sub-compact carbine owners where a full-size sight would add unwanted mass to the rail
• Home-defense builds that need a reliable, battery-efficient sight ready to go within milliseconds of pickup
