Red Dots

Athlon Optics is a brand that should be on your radar, in the hyper competitive world of optics. Over the next few months, we have some magnified scopes coming in as well. But for now, on the red dot front? This is a value that is very hard to beat.

While there is a minimal amount of distortion that can be noticed while moving the optic around, it is in fact minimal and is what I would call “best in class”.

Parasec Sights are absolutely fantastic and are set to take the industry by storm. They simplify the learning curve of aiming, are amazing for aging eyes, and are tough as a coffin nail. They are going on all my Glock’s now that they are available, and all my other guns as they become available. And that is the strongest endorsement I can give.

Draw. Range. Shoot. It really is that simple with Garmin’s new “smart” red dot made for bowhunters.

Vortex Optics just announced their all-new Defender-CCW™ red dot pistol sight. This optic is designed to be sturdy and portable for everyday use while boasting incredible functionability.

This week, we got our hands on the latest member of the SIG miniature red dot family, the Romeo 1 Pro. Designed to slide mount on pistols, with the option available for Picatinny mounting to rifles, this little guy is a great addition to the lineup. Most of you are probably asking what is the difference between the Romeo 1 and the Romeo 1 Pro, and that is a valid question. The answer requires a little bit of storytime though.

I needed to find optics that were a good value and not just cheap. I found that Holosun fitted that role well.

SIG developed a new magazine and slightly extended the grip of the Macro so that it now has a capacity of 17 + 1. The longer grip provides space for a full-handed grip while still retaining the 365’s comfort and ergonomics.

I highly recommend this pistol red dot especially if you’re struggling to get used to them and still want to see what all the hype was about. The ACSS Vulcan was fast, consistent, and made follow-up shots incredibly easy.
