Description
Vector Optics Frenzy-S 1x17x24 MOS Multi Reticle Red Dot Sight - Black
The Vector Optics Frenzy-S 1x17x24 MOS Multi Reticle is an exceptionally lightweight open reflex red dot sight designed for pistols and other compact shooting platforms. Weighing only 19 g without the mount, it combines three selectable reticle patterns, motion-activated power saving and durable aluminium construction. Its MGT (Shield RMSc/SMS) footprint and included Weaver rail mount make it a versatile choice for compatible airsoft pistols and rifles.
The compact 17 × 24 mm viewing window provides a clear sight picture while keeping the optic low-profile and unobtrusive. The multi-reticle system lets the user choose between precise aiming and faster target acquisition, making the Frenzy-S suitable for both CQB and more deliberate shooting.
Three Selectable Reticles for Different Shooting Situations
The Frenzy-S Multi Reticle offers three illuminated red reticle configurations, allowing the aiming pattern to be adapted to personal preference and shooting conditions.
- 3 MOA Red Dot - A small, precise aiming point that covers relatively little of the target, making it suitable for accurate shooting.
- 40 MOA Circle with Crosshair Marks - A larger aiming pattern that is easier to acquire quickly, particularly during close-range engagements and rapid target transitions.
- Circle with Centre Dot - Combines the fast acquisition of a large circle with the precision of a central aiming point.
The ability to switch between reticles makes the sight particularly versatile. A small dot can be preferable for precise shots, while the larger circle helps locate the aiming point quickly during dynamic movement.
Brightness is adjustable through 10 settings, including eight daylight levels and two night-vision-compatible settings. The multi-coated lens and unlimited eye relief allow comfortable aiming with both eyes open.
Motion Sensor and Automatic Power Saving
The Frenzy-S features a built-in motion sensor that automatically switches the illumination off after approximately two minutes of inactivity. When movement is detected, the sight reactivates without requiring the user to manually turn it on.
This feature helps conserve battery power while keeping the optic ready for use. It is especially convenient for airsoft games where the replica may remain stationary between engagements.
The sight is powered by a CR2032 battery, providing up to 20,000 hours of operation at the lowest visible brightness setting. Actual battery life depends on the selected brightness, reticle and operating conditions.
MGT Footprint - Shield RMSc/SMS Compatibility
The SCRD-M43 uses the Vector Optics MGT footprint, which corresponds to the Shield RMSc / SMS mounting standard. This compact footprint is commonly used on micro red dot sights designed for pistols.
The sight can be installed on compatible optics-ready pistol slides or mounting plates using the corresponding footprint. For pistols with a different mounting system, a model-specific adapter plate is required.
A 21 mm Weaver/Picatinny-compatible rail mount is included, allowing the optic to be fitted to compatible airsoft rifles and other platforms equipped with a suitable accessory rail.
The MGT footprint is not directly compatible with the Vector Optics TEK (Docter/Noblex) or MOJ (Trijicon RMR) mounting standards. For example, Vector Optics SCRDM-01, SCRDM-02 and SCRDM-03 mounting plates use the TEK footprint and are not suitable for this sight.
Vector Optics offers separate MGT-compatible pistol mounting solutions, including the SCRDM-09 Glock rear sight adapter and SCFRM-16 Glock MOS adapter. Compatibility with airsoft pistol slides depends on their exact mounting dimensions and construction.
The MOS designation in the product name should not be confused with the Glock MOS mounting system. The sight itself uses the MGT/RMSc footprint.
Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Construction
The Frenzy-S housing is manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, combining durability with exceptionally low weight. At approximately 19 g without the mount, the sight adds very little mass to a pistol slide, making it particularly attractive for compact pistol builds.
The optic is rated IPX6 for water resistance, providing protection against powerful water jets and heavy rain. Its 1000 G shock resistance is designed to withstand demanding shooting conditions, including recoil from real firearms.
Windage and elevation adjustments have a 1 MOA click value, allowing the sight to be zeroed precisely for the intended shooting distance.
Battery Replacement and Mounting Considerations
The CR2032 battery compartment is located underneath the sight. Unlike red dot sights with side-loading battery compartments, the Frenzy-S must be removed from its mounting plate or base to replace the battery.
After replacing the battery, the sight's zero should be checked and adjusted if necessary. This is worth considering when choosing between different Frenzy models, particularly for pistols where the optic is mounted directly to the slide.
