Overview

The Viridian RFX1 Custom is the only optic built specifically for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0, and it puts a 3 MOA green dot on a pistol that ships without an optic cut. Where every other red dot on this gun needs a dovetail adapter plate, the RFX1's machined shell follows the slide's serrations and geometry and bolts straight to the gun. No plate, no milling, no gunsmith.

The 3 MOA green dot sits in a 1x16mm window with fully multi-coated glass. Green emits brighter than red to the human eye at the same power draw, so the dot stays visible in harsh daylight on a carry gun that lives in a pocket. An auto-brightness sensor matches the dot to ambient light and INSTANT-ON motion activation wakes the optic the moment the gun moves, so there is no power button to fumble on the draw.

At 0.53 oz and 0.81 inches wide, the RFX1 keeps the Bodyguard 2.0's slim pocket profile intact. The CNC-machined 6061 aluminum housing is shockproof and IPX4 water-resistant, and the CR1632 battery runs up to 30,000 hours. For a shooter who wants a dot without touching the slide, this is the no-compromise option.
