Pistol Sight
A thermal pistol sight puts a heat-sensing image right on your handgun, so you can see an animal in full dark at close range without a separate light. Infitac's Fast Mini line is built around that idea, with a small thermal optic and an integrated screen in a body sized for a pistol.
Models we carry
- Infitac Fast Mini FMP13: the pistol sight version of the Fast Mini.
- Infitac Fast Mini FML19: listed as a thermal pistol or rifle sight, so it can move between a handgun and a rifle setup.
When a thermal sight makes sense on a handgun
If you carry a handgun as a backup on hog hunts, or you check traps and close-range sets at night, a thermal on the pistol lets you find a hog in brush or tall grass without lighting up the whole area. Shots are close, so a compact sight with a wide view matters more than magnification. Check how it mounts, its battery type and runtime, and the zero distance you plan to use. Handgun and thermal hunting rules vary by state, so confirm yours before heading out.
If you prefer a traditional aiming point, see our red dot sights. Questions about fit? Call (309) 781-8421.
Frequently Asked Questions
What distance should you sight in a thermal pistol sight?
Most handgun hunters zero at 15 to 25 yards, since that matches where most pistol shots happen. With a thermal sight like the Infitac Fast Mini, zero at the distance you expect to shoot hogs at night, then confirm it on a heat target, such as a hand warmer taped to cardboard.
What are the different types of pistol sights?
Handguns use iron sights, fiber optic and tritium night sights, red dot or reflex sights, lasers, and thermal sights. Each solves a different problem. A thermal like the Fast Mini FMP13 is the only one that shows heat, so it finds an animal in full darkness where the others need some light.
What is the best type of sight for a pistol?
It depends on when you shoot. In daylight, a red dot is fast and simple. In the dark, you need either a light or a thermal sight. For night hog work at close range, a compact thermal like the Infitac Fast Mini lets you see and aim without giving away your position.
What are the three types of sights?
Sights are usually grouped as open (iron) sights, aperture or peep sights, and optical sights. Optical sights include scopes, red dots and electronic sights like thermal. On a handgun, open sights and red dots are most common, with thermal a newer, specialized option for night hunting.
