Osight XE AMRS and SE 6 MOA: New Enclosed Pistol Red Dots

Osight launched the XE AMRS, its first five-reticle enclosed red dot on the RMR footprint with a 105,000-hour side-loading CR1632 battery and a collapsible backup rear sight, alongside a 6 MOA red version of the SE for slim carry guns. Here is how the XE compares to the rechargeable XR and where each optic fits.

Key Takeaways

  • Five reticles, one optic: The XE AMRS (Advanced Multi-Reticle System) switches between a 2 MOA dot, 6 MOA dot, either dot with a 32 MOA circle, or the 32 MOA circle alone, with no shift in point of impact.
  • 105,000-hour side-loading battery:The XE trades the XR's rechargeable cell for a swappable CR1632, nearly doubling runtime and removing the charger from the equation.
  • Enclosed and duty-ready: RMR footprint, IPX7 sealing, an aspherical parallax-free lens, and a collapsible backup rear sight that folds out of the housing if the dot dies.
  • SE 6 MOA now in red: Osight added a 6 MOA red dot to the value SE line, an enclosed RMSc optic for slim carry guns and shotguns rated up to 63,000 hours.
  • Pricing and warranty: XE AMRS at $249.99 ($50 under the XR), SE 6 MOA at a $199.99 platform MSRP, both backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty with no paperwork.

What Osight Just Launched

Osight announced two new enclosed-emitter pistol red dots on June 10, 2026: the XE AMRS and a red-dot version of the SE 6 MOA. The XE is the headline. It pairs the enclosed RMR-footprint housing of the flagship Osight XR with the brand's first Advanced Multi-Reticle System and a side-loading battery, landing $50 below the XR at $249.99. The SE 6 MOA red extends the value enclosed line with the one reticle color shooters kept asking for.

Osight is the firearms-optics sister brand of flashlight maker Olight, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The company has spent the past year undercutting Holosun and Trijicon on enclosed carry optics, and the XE AMRS is its most feature-dense pistol red dot yet. If you are still deciding between open and enclosed emitters, our breakdown of the best pistol red dot sights covers why the sealed window matters on a carry gun.

The XE AMRS: Five Reticles, One Optic

The Advanced Multi-Reticle System is the reason to look at the XE. One press cycles through five reticles: a 2 MOA dot for precision, a 6 MOA dot for speed, either dot stacked inside a 32 MOA circle, or the 32 MOA circle by itself. Osight rates the switch with no shift in point of impact, so a single zero holds across every configuration. A 2 MOA dot lets you thread a tight shot at distance; flip to the 6 MOA dot or the dot-and-circle for a fast, forgiving aiming point up close. That flexibility used to mean buying two optics or committing to one reticle SKU forever.

The other half of the story is power. Where the XR carries a built-in rechargeable cell and a magnetic charging cover, the XE uses a traditional side-loading CR1632 that swaps without pulling the optic off the slide, so your zero survives a battery change. That decision nearly doubles runtime to a rated 105,000 hours, and it means you carry a spare commodity cell instead of hunting for a charger. A motion sensor wakes the dot the instant the gun moves and powers it down after three minutes of stillness, and a triple flash once a minute warns you when the battery runs low. Eight daylight and two night-vision brightness levels round out the controls.

Construction follows the rest of the enclosed Osight line: a fully sealed emitter rated IPX7 against moisture, dust, and the pocket lint that fouls open-emitter optics, plus an aspherical lens Osight rates as parallax-free. The standout durability feature is a collapsible backup rear sight that folds out of the housing if the dot fails. It does the job of a separate suppressor-height co-witness setup without the extra parts, and it is a genuinely uncommon inclusion at this price.

Footprint and Compatibility

The XE AMRS sits on the Trijicon RMR footprint, the same cut shared by the Holosun 507C. That makes it a direct-mount option for most optics-ready full-size and compact slides, including Glock MOS models, the SIG P320, and the S&W M&P, and it drops onto any RMR-pattern riser on a rifle or PCC. If your slide is cut for the smaller Shield RMSc footprint, the XE will not fit; that is where the SE comes in. Use the rifle builder or browse the pistol optics catalog to see how an RMR-footprint dot fits the rest of a setup.

At $249.99 the XE undercuts the enclosed competition it most resembles. A Holosun 509T runs well north of $400 and an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 is roughly double the XE's price, and neither offers a five-reticle system out of the box.

The SE 6 MOA Gets a Red Dot

The second launch is smaller but answers a common request. The SE 6 MOA, until now a green-dot-only optic, is now offered with a 6 MOA red dot. It is the same enclosed value carry optic on the Shield RMSc footprint, built for slim pistols like the SIG P365 XL and Glock 43X/48 MOS, and it works on RMSc-cut shotgun mounts too. The 6 MOA dot is a deliberately large aiming point sized for fast acquisition at concealed-carry and defensive distances rather than precision work.

The SE red shares the platform's 7075 aluminum housing, side-loading battery, and motion sensor, with an aspherical lens carrying multi-layer anti-fog and anti-reflective coating, all sealed to IPX7. Osight rates the red variant at up to 63,000 hours. At a $199.99 platform MSRP that frequently streets closer to $150, it remains one of the few enclosed RMSc red dots under $200, an enclosed window at roughly half the price of a Holosun EPS Carry. Just confirm your slide's footprint first: red-dot shoppers on a P365 or Hellcat should read our note on the RMSc versus Holosun-K cut before buying.

Availability, Warranty, and Giveaway

Both optics are launching now, with Osight running a giveaway for the new XE and SE models from June 10 through June 15, 2026. Every Osight optic ships with a fully transferable lifetime warranty that requires no registration paperwork, coverage that follows the optic to its next owner if you sell it. That is the same no-strings warranty posture Osight applied to the XR and SE green, and it is aggressive for the price bracket.

For shooters tracking Osight's broader push into duty optics, the XE slots between the rechargeable XR and the value SE line as the do-everything middle option. We covered the brand's enclosed rifle and pistol direction when the larger Osight-R debuted at NRAAM 2026, and you can compare optics side by side to see how the XE stacks against your current dot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Osight XE AMRS?
The Osight XE AMRS is an enclosed-emitter pistol red dot on the RMR footprint, launched June 10, 2026, at a $249.99 MSRP. AMRS stands for Advanced Multi-Reticle System: the XE switches between five reticles from one optic, a 2 MOA dot, a 6 MOA dot, a 2 MOA dot with a 32 MOA circle, a 6 MOA dot with a 32 MOA circle, or the 32 MOA circle alone, with no shift in point of impact. It runs a side-loading CR1632 battery rated up to 105,000 hours, includes a collapsible backup rear sight, and is sealed to IPX7.
What is the difference between the Osight XE and the Osight XR?
Both the XE and XR are enclosed RMR-footprint pistol red dots with five-reticle systems and collapsible backup sights. The difference is power. The XR ($299.99) uses a built-in rechargeable battery and a magnetic charging cover rated for 54,000 hours. The XE ($249.99) drops the rechargeable cell for a side-loading CR1632 you can swap with a commodity battery, and that change nearly doubles runtime to 105,000 hours. The XE is $50 cheaper and never needs a charger; the XR offers the convenience of recharging instead of buying cells.
Is the Osight SE 6 MOA available in red?
Yes. Osight added a 6 MOA red dot version of the SE alongside the existing 6 MOA green. The SE 6 MOA red uses the same enclosed RMSc housing, side-loading battery, motion sensor, and 7075 aluminum construction as the green, sealed to IPX7. Osight rates the red variant at up to 63,000 hours. It fits Shield RMSc-cut slides like the SIG P365 XL and Glock 43X/48 MOS, and the SE platform carries a $199.99 MSRP that often streets closer to $150.
What pistols fit the Osight XE AMRS?
The XE AMRS uses the Trijicon RMR footprint, the same cut shared by the Holosun 507C. It direct-mounts to most optics-ready full-size and compact slides, including Glock MOS models, the SIG P320, and the S&W M&P, plus any RMR-cut riser on a rifle or PCC. Slim subcompact slides cut for the smaller Shield RMSc footprint do not fit the XE; those run the RMSc-footprint Osight SE instead.
Does the Osight XE AMRS have a backup sight?
Yes. The XE AMRS includes a collapsible backup rear sight that folds out of the housing if the dot fails, so you do not need a separate set of suppressor-height co-witness irons. Combined with the enclosed emitter and IPX7 sealing, the backup sight is aimed at shooters who want a duty-grade optic that stays usable even with a dead battery.
How long is the Osight warranty?
Every Osight optic, including the XE AMRS and SE 6 MOA, carries a fully transferable lifetime warranty with no registration paperwork required. The warranty transfers with the optic if you sell it, which is unusual at this price point and matches the coverage offered by premium brands like Trijicon.

Bottom Line

The XE AMRS is the more interesting of the two launches and the one most shooters should weigh against the XR. For $50 less, you trade rechargeability for a side-loading CR1632 and get nearly double the runtime, the same five-reticle system, and the same collapsible backup sight. Unless you specifically want the convenience of a magnetic charger, the XE is the better value of the two enclosed RMR-footprint Osights, and the five-reticle AMRS is a real feature, not a spec-sheet gimmick.

The SE 6 MOA red is a straightforward win for anyone who wanted the enclosed SE but preferred a red reticle, holding the line at an enclosed window under $200. The standing caveat for both optics is track record: Osight is young, and the long-term duty-cycle data that backs a Trijicon or Aimpoint does not exist yet. If the feature set matters more than a decade of armorer reports, the XE AMRS is one of the most equipped enclosed pistol red dots you can buy at the price. Cross-shop it against the field in our best pistol red dot guide and the hands-on Osight XR review before you commit.
