Five year $7,625,587 contract for some 14,000 sights - which are apparently based on the Type 2 RM06, 3.25 moa adjustable red dot.
From the article: "The handgun reflex sight is a low profile, wide field of view, passive sight for rapid day and night pistol target engagements in confined spaces, while prisoner handling, or in extremis after the primary weapon malfunctions."
The specific variation appears to be called the, "RM06-HRS," where HRS stands for Handgun Reflex Sight. I don't know if there are any significant differences between the Type 2 RM06 and the RM06-HRS, but reportedly the RM06-HRS survived over 40,000 slide cycles on a Glock 19.

It looks like the pistol-mounted MRDS is continuing to gain steam and acceptance.
