Burris FastFire C Red Dot Sight 6 MOA Dot

Burris FastFire C 6 MOA Red Dot Sight

The Burris FastFire C is an ultra-compact red dot sight designed specifically for sub-compact and micro-compact pistols used for everyday carry. Weighing just 0.44 ounces, the FastFire C adds virtually no weight to a concealed-carry pistol while providing a bright 6 MOA aiming point for fast target acquisition. Its low-profile design, RMSc footprint, long battery life, and automatic brightness technology make it a purpose-built micro red dot sight for concealed carry pistols.

The FastFire C uses a 6 MOA red dot, providing a highly visible aiming point that is particularly well suited to close- and mid-range shooting. The larger dot is easy to acquire quickly while remaining precise enough for the distances typically associated with a compact defensive handgun.

Always-On Technology with 25,000-Hour Battery Life

One of the FastFire C's most important features is its Always-On technology. Powered by a CR2032 battery, the optic provides up to 25,000 hours of runtime, allowing it to remain ready without relying on traditional shake-awake activation.

Burris Intelligent Auto-Bright technology monitors changes in ambient light to determine whether the optic is being used or stored and automatically adjusts the reticle brightness. Five manual brightness settings are also available when the shooter wants direct control over illumination.

Compact RMSc Red Dot for Micro Pistols

The FastFire C uses the popular RMSc footprint, making it compatible with a wide range of optics-ready sub-compact and micro-compact pistols designed around this mounting standard. Its low-profile design allows for either absolute or 1/3 co-witness with standard-height open sights, potentially eliminating the need for taller suppressor-height sights.

At only 1.61 inches long and 0.44 ounces, the FastFire C is designed to preserve the compact size and handling characteristics that make micro-compact pistols popular for everyday carry.

6 MOA Dot for Fast Target Acquisition

The 6 MOA red dot is optimized for speed. Its larger aiming point is easy to locate when presenting the pistol and provides a clear reference for rapid sight alignment. The FastFire C uses 1x magnification and virtually parallax-free operation, allowing the shooter to use the optic with both eyes open for improved awareness.

Rugged Construction for Everyday Carry

The FastFire C uses an advanced composite polymer housing designed to provide durability while keeping weight to a minimum. The housing is shockproof, fogproof, and water-resistant for the demands of everyday carry.

A protective hood surrounds the front of the optic, while serrations along the front edge provide additional traction for aggressive one-handed slide manipulation. This combination of features makes the FastFire C more than simply a lightweight pistol red dot—it is purpose-built around the practical demands of concealed carry.

Windage and Elevation Adjustment

The FastFire C provides 80 MOA of total windage and elevation adjustment, with 4 MOA adjustment increments. The adjustments require no special tools, making zeroing straightforward. A 1-degree, 60 MOA shim is also included for additional elevation adjustment when required by a particular pistol or ammunition setup.

Removable Rear Fixed Sight

The FastFire C includes an optional removable rear fixed sight. The rear post is designed to work with the pistol's original front iron sight and can be installed or removed using the same mounting screws used to attach the optic. This provides additional flexibility for shooters who want a co-witnessing backup sight arrangement.

Why Choose the FastFire C?
