The OV Ghost Popup Red Dot Sight introduces a mechanical solution to a longstanding issue in concealed carry: integrating a red dot sight without compromising draw speed or concealment.
Red Dot Sight Integration Without Bulk
Standard red dot sight systems protrude from the slide, increasing snag potential and visual signature—especially problematic for concealed carry users. The OV Ghost solves this by fully collapsing into the slide, presenting a flush, low-profile surface when holstered.
Upon draw or manual activation, a spring-assisted mechanism deploys the optic into its operational position. It’s designed to function reliably without manual adjustment or activation steps. This enables users to get on target quickly with minimal input.
Durable Construction for Real-World Application
The OV Ghost Popup Red Dot Sight is constructed from alloy steel coated in zinc and nickel to resist corrosion and wear. This coating is selected for long-term carry durability, particularly in high-humidity or sweat-prone environments.
The housing is engineered to absorb and redirect impact forces. If dropped or struck, the optic is built to collapse safely rather than fracture, protecting the glass and internal electronics while maintaining alignment.
Mechanical Deployment: Simple and Reliable
Deployment is handled through a spring-loaded hinge that activates automatically on the draw or by pressing a side-mounted release button. Once deployed, the red dot sight presents a crisp 3 MOA aiming point.
The design intentionally keeps the optic protected while holstered. Since the lens is enclosed in the folded position, it stays clean and free of debris until deployed.
Concealment-Oriented Design
The OV Ghost was built specifically for concealed-carry applications. Unlike duty-oriented red dots, it maintains a zero-print profile, allowing users to carry discreetly without exposing a protruding optic. There are no external housings or lens windows visible when the optic is stowed.
It’s suited for users who carry daily—law enforcement, private security, or civilians—where discretion and speed matter equally.
Battery-Powered with Low-Draw Circuitry
The OV Ghost Popup Red Dot Sight is powered by a CR1130 battery. It uses a low-draw circuit designed to provide long battery life while maintaining instant readiness.
The sight is active when deployed and consumes minimal power in standby, making it a reliable option for extended everyday carry.
Proven Design, Now Civilian Accessible
This red dot sight originates from DI Optical, a long-standing supplier of optics to global military and law enforcement clients. Its release to the U.S. market is facilitated by 33rd Parallel Defense in partnership with Global Military Distribution.
With field testing and deployment history behind it, the optic is purpose-built—not just commercially inspired.
The OV Ghost Popup Red Dot Sight solves the longstanding compromise between concealment and optic performance. Through mechanical deployment, rugged construction, and a practical form factor, it offers a viable solution for carry users seeking an optic that doesn’t interfere with discretion or reliability.
This is a tool designed to work under pressure, not a concept built for a product launch.
