Since its introduction in 2023, the Mepro M22 self-powered reflex sight has quietly established itself as one of the most trusted optics for professionals, law enforcement, and prepared citizens. Built on Meprolight’s legacy of innovation, the M22 has delivered two years of impressive sales and growing popularity among those who demand battle-proven reliability without batteries.

Meprolight’s experience with battery-free optics dates back to 1990 with the use of tritium enhanced sights. Fiber-optics were added to the mix and in 2000 the launch of the M21 — developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to ensure young soldiers could depend on an optic that never required a switch or a battery change. The M21 became standard issue to the IDF in 2002 and remains in service worldwide. That heritage set the stage for the next generation: the M22 and the M22 PRO.

The M22 is lighter, more compact, and features a red reticle option—a step forward from earlier, amber-based designs. High-grade fiber-optics provide daytime brightness, while premium Swiss-made tritium vials ensure seamless illumination in low-light and nighttime conditions. The transition between the two is instantaneous and automatic.

The M22 Pro adds a tiny battery powered light module to enhance the reticle in extremely low-light conditions. The single CR2032 battery provides over 50,000 hours of use. The auto-adjuster reacts to ambient light to maintain a crisp reticle in the worst conditions. Do you need it for the M22 to work? No. It is there to mitigate the effects of adverse conditions. If you own the M22 and want to upgrade to the M22 Pro, the Light Module Kit can be purchased separately.

Built to military specifications, both models are waterproof, shockproof, and compatible with night-vision devices and magnifiers. They are available with a red or amber 3.5/40 MOA Bullseye or 10 MOA Triangle reticle — both proven in military and law enforcement applications.

Industry voices have echoed their performance. Writing for the NRA’s Shooting Illustrated online, Brian McCombie noted: “The Meprolight M22 Pro proved itself a hard-working optic, capable of operating in most environments from daylight to well into dusk. It’s not inexpensive, but high quality rarely comes at a bargain price.” (ShootingIllustated.com 9.21.25)

Two years after launch, the M22 and M22 Pro continue to grow in sales and reputation, solidifying their place as top choices for those who value reliability, durability, and operational dependability.
