This video reviews the Meprolight M22 reflex sight and its new bolt-on light module kit. The M22's integrated fiber optic system was found to be too dim in many lighting conditions, leading to user frustration.

However, the kit has a 30-minute auto-shutoff feature without shake-awake functionality, which is a notable drawback.
