A closer look

Make it your setup.

Start with the footprint.

Your slide or adapter plate determines which mounting pattern you need. Choose the model and configuration to match.

Nautilus2 Micro
Separate RMSc and K-Series configurations. Select the version that matches your slide or plate.
Nautilus2 ERD
RMSc mounting pattern for both Standard ERD and Multi-Reticle versions.

RMSc and K-Series mounting geometry differs. Confirm your exact slide, recoil posts, adapter plate and screw requirements before ordering.

Choose your ERD reticle.

A reticle is the illuminated aiming mark in the lens. The ERD gives you a choice of a standard dot or selectable patterns.

Standard ERD $89.99
A straightforward 3 MOA red dot.
Multi-Reticle $99.99
Switch between selectable aiming patterns within the same enclosed optic.

Pattern selection changes the aiming mark; brightness changes its intensity.

Red dot questions, answered.

What is the difference between an open and enclosed emitter?

The Nautilus2 Micro uses an open-emitter design with a compact viewing window. The Nautilus2 ERD surrounds the emitter with a protective housing to help keep dust, lint, rain and debris away from the light source. The external lenses still need routine cleaning.

Are RMSc and K-Series the same footprint?

No. They are related mounting patterns with differences in recoil-post geometry. The Nautilus2 Micro is offered in separate RMSc and K-Series configurations. The Nautilus2 ERD uses an RMSc mounting pattern. Confirm the exact requirements of your slide or adapter plate before choosing.

Which model has integrated rear backup sights?

The RMSc version of the Nautilus2 Micro includes integrated rear backup sights. This feature should not be assumed for the K-Series version or the ERD. Alignment with your front sight depends on your slide and sight height.

Does the optic need to come off for a battery change?

The Nautilus2 Micro uses top-access battery loading; the Nautilus2 ERD uses a side-access battery compartment. Both let you access the battery while the optic remains mounted. Follow the instructions supplied with your specific model.

Does Multi-Reticle mean the optic has multiple magnifications?

No. Multi-Reticle refers to selectable illuminated aiming patterns within the same optic. It does not change magnification. The Standard ERD uses a 3 MOA dot; the Multi-Reticle version offers selectable patterns. Final pattern previews will be added to the product page.
