FN America announced the PUREVIEW, its first entry into the pistol optic market, in a press release issued April 16. The Columbia, South Carolina manufacturer says the sight uses holographic projection technology — a first for an enclosed-emitter optic at this pistol form factor — and is built to mount directly to the company's 509, 510, 545, and Five-seveN pistols.


The PUREVIEW is powered by FN's ImageGuide system and includes 14 automatic brightness settings with dedicated night-vision modes, motion-sensing activation to conserve battery, and a top-loading battery compartment that does not require removing the optic from the pistol. According to the announcement, the housing is aluminum and titanium and runs roughly 25 percent lighter than comparable enclosed-emitter sights on the market.

"Holographic projection is highly complex to develop, but we've successfully adapted it for use on a pistol," Chris Johnson, FN's senior product manager for pistols, said in the statement. John Ryan, director of product management, added that the launch reflects FN's push to deliver "professional-grade products" to the commercial market.

FN rates the optic for use between -40°F and 126°F and says it is waterproof and fog-resistant. The company also notes that the projected dot remains visible even if the lens sustains damage, a durability claim aimed at duty and defensive users.

The PUREVIEW will make its public debut at the 2026 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, which opened April 16 at the George R. Brown Convention Center. FN has not published an MSRP and says the optic will be available for purchase later in 2026. Additional specifications are posted at fnamerica.com/pureview.
