Infitac Fast Mini FMP13 Featured as a SHOT Show 2025 Hot Pick

At SHOT Show 2025, thermal optics were everywhere. But as Top 5 New Shooting & Hunting Tech Finds From SHOT Show 2025 | Hook & Barrel Magazine:

“If there's one thing that we took away from SHOT Show 2025, it's that thermal optics are all the rage these days, but they’re all geared toward use on long guns. That changes now with the InfiTac Fast Mini FMP13, a thermal sight designed for use on handguns.”

This statement captured a turning point. For years, thermal technology has been reserved for long guns. Now, the Infitac Fast Mini FMP13 is rewriting the rules—and emerging as the “dark horse” of the optics world.

Compact but Powerful

On the outside, the FMP13 resembles a closed-emitter red dot sight. Inside, it houses a 256×192 thermal sensor, running at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate on a 1.4-inch 360×300 display.

• Weighs only 4 ounces
• Runs 5 hours on a single CR2 battery, and can also pair with the BC01 Li-ion Battery Charger Kit
• IP67 Waterproof

This is the first handheld thermal capability brought to the handgun platform.

Smarter Controls, More Options

Beyond its standard buttons, the FMP13 stands out with a touchscreen control option, providing shooters with faster and more intuitive operation. Its display also features automatic brightness adjustment, adapting seamlessly to the ambient light.

Customization is another strength:

• Three reticle choices: 6 MOA dot, 6 MOA dot with 65 MOA circle, or 6 MOA dot with 130 MOA circle
• Multiple thermal palettes to fit personal preferences and mission needs

Built for Versatility

The FMP13 uses the RMR footprint, making it compatible with a wide range of popular pistols. With adapter plates, it can also mount to carbines, rifles, and other platforms—expanding its role far beyond just a handgun sight.

Why It’s the “Dark Horse” of Thermal Optics

• Fills a gap: The world's first truly practical thermal sight for handguns
• Lightweight, high-performance balance: No compromise between portability and power
• Multi-mission ready: Hunting, defense, tactical, and recreational use
• Signals a new era: Thermal optics are no longer limited to long guns

The Infitac Fast Mini FMP13 isn’t just another product release—it’s the beginning of a new category. By bringing advanced thermal imaging to the handgun platform at an accessible price, it redefines what shooters can expect from their optics.
