As laser sights continue to evolve in modern shooting setups, the most important question is no longer whether to use a laser sight—but which configuration fits your platform and usage best.
At RichFire, our current laser sight lineup is not built around “entry-level” or “upgraded” tiers.
Instead, each model is designed around different form factors, power systems, and mounting preferences.
This guide explains the differences between SFD-074, SFD-213, and the SFD-214 series, and helps you choose the right laser sight based on real-world needs.
Understanding the RichFire Laser Sight Philosophy
All RichFire laser sights share the same core purpose:
-
Dedicated aiming assistance
-
Visible green laser for fast point-of-aim reference
-
Compact, weapon-mounted design
What differentiates them is how they integrate with your firearm, not performance hierarchy.
