Ct Illum 3.5x Mag Bdc Pic Mnt

The Crimson Trace CTS-1100 Illuminated 3.5x Magnification Battlesight with Bullet Drop Compensator Picatinny Mount is a purpose-built optic for rifle and carbine platforms requiring mid-range precision without sacrificing close-quarters situational awareness. Delivering 3.5x magnification paired with a fully illuminated hybrid BDC reticle, this electronic sight delivers superior field of view across engagement distances from contact range to extended distances, making it suitable for patrol carbines, designated marksman roles, and precision rifle applications.

The illuminated hybrid BDC reticle simplifies holdover calculations and target acquisition in variable lighting conditions. The 3.5x magnification balances target resolution with retention of peripheral vision—a critical tradeoff in combat and tactical training scenarios where tunnel vision from higher magnification creates vulnerability. Installation is streamlined through an integrated M1913 Picatinny rail mount, enabling zero-downtime integration on standard MIL-STD-1913 receivers. The rugged construction is engineered for sustained duty use across multiple deployment cycles without requiring recalibration or optical degradation.

This sight addresses the operational niche between iron sights and higher-magnification optics. It serves carbine operators, law enforcement tactical units, and precision shooters who demand magnification for target discrimination without optical systems that degrade close-range performance. The illuminated reticle extends utility into low-light training and operational environments common in patrol operations and night-capable engagements. Weighing 1.56 lbs, the CTS-1100 maintains minimal impact on carbine balance and pointability while delivering optical clarity required for consistent hit probability across variable-distance engagement scenarios.
