Viridian Weapon Technologies Introduces New RFX Black Label Optics Lineup

Viridian Weapon Technologies announces the launch of its new RFX Black Label optics lineup, introducing three green dot reflex optics that bring together a distinctive design identity and a versatile set of performance features. The RFX15, RFX16, and RFX35 combine premium construction and refined detailing with adaptable reticle configurations, intuitive controls, and user-focused design elements.

The Black Label lineup establishes a cohesive visual identity through its matte-black anodized finish and deep laser-engraved detailing. Each optic features a CNC-machined aluminum housing engineered to withstand the demands of duty use, combining rugged construction with a refined exterior.

On the performance side, fully multi-coated glass lenses provide a clear sight picture, while the selectable multi-reticle system lets users choose between a 32 MOA circle, a 2 MOA green dot, or both reticle elements combined. The lineup also introduces Viridian's Quick Change Reticle (QCR), which lets users switch between reticle options by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously. Accessible battery compartments allow battery replacement without removing the optic, helping preserve zero. All three models also feature motion-activated INSTANT-ON technology, automatic shutoff after approximately two minutes without movement, and waterproof and shockproof construction.

RFX15 – Compact Versatility — MSRP: $269

The RFX15 pairs a 24 × 17 mm viewing window with a lightweight 0.92-ounce profile (without mount or battery). Its RMSc footprint fits compatible optics-ready handguns, and its battery delivers up to 30,000 hours of operation at the lowest brightness setting.

RFX16 – Enclosed-Emitter Design — MSRP: $319

The RFX16 features an enclosed emitter, with the emitter protected within the optic housing. It weighs 0.9 ounces (without battery) and combines a 21 × 17 mm viewing window with an aspherical, fully multi-coated glass lens. Its RMSc footprint supports compatible handgun configurations, and battery life reaches up to 17,000 hours at the lowest brightness setting.

RFX35 – Expanded Viewing Window — MSRP: $279

With the largest window in the lineup at 26 × 22 mm, the RFX35 offers an expanded sight picture and an RMR footprint. It weighs 1.23 ounces (without mount or battery) and provides up to 30,000 hours of battery life at the lowest brightness setting.

The RFX Black Label lineup reflects Viridian's continued investment in firearm optics, bringing refined design, adaptable aiming technology, and three distinct configurations together in one cohesive series.
