Red Dots

The Morph Switch is a whole lot of gun and innovation in a small package designed for concealed carry. Phoenix Trinity (PT) is primarily known for its high-quality practical pistol competition guns and accessories. So, the Morph is a step outside of PT’s normal product offering but brings with it many of the characteristics of the guns used by top competitors.

DeltaPoint Micro is a fully enclosed, low-profile red dot sight designed specifically for concealed carry and personal defense. It provides all of the advantages of a miniature red dot sight without the high profile of other sights. No red dot on the market is more compact, its low height to bore replicates the same sight plane that iron-sight shooters are accustomed to, allowing for intuitive target acquisition, and it delivers the legendarily rugged performance that Leupold consumers expect. Your iron sight presentation will put the red dot right in your field of view.

Red dots on pistols continues to be one of the strongest trends in the industry, which leads to some incredible developments. Much like electronics in other consumer spaces, it doesn’t take long for what was once only an option for the rich to make its way down to us mortals. It wasn’t that long ago that an HD TV cost a fortune, with very few brand options. Now you would be hard-pressed to find a television that wasn’t HD, including the sub $200 models at Best Buy or Walmart. As goes TV’s, now so goes slide mounted red dots.

When I heard that Crimson Trace had come out with a new line of red dot sights, their Rapid Aiming Dots (RAD), it made complete sense to me. After all, Crimson Trace has been in the firearm laser and light business for decades, and in more recent years has introduced their scope lines, so adding electronics into optics to get new electronic sights seems to be the natural progression.

Crimson Trace is a name that many, if not most gun enthusiasts know. We recognize their name from laser sights and battle lights. That said, some are unaware that they are now making optics. These optics vary from electronic reflex sights to magnified rifle optics as well as budget to higher-end. Many of these bring a lot to the table in their price range.

I was dubious of the green dot against the light colors of Arizona deserts under our unforgiving sun.  I suspected it would wash out against light colored targets.  I was wrong.

That healthy field of view, combined with the optic’s durability, crisp reticle, and ease of use, should make the AEMS a strong contender for your next rifle optic.

SIG Sauer’s new duty pistol optic, the ROMEO2 can be installed as an open-emitter, steel armored open emitter or a fully-sealed closed-emitter red-dot sight. It can endure the slide recoil velocities of a 10mm and offers water resistance and protection from environmental debris. It is a uniquely rugged sight with modular user-convertible configurations.
