The HS512C is an outstanding optic for close-quarters shooting. It provides an enclosed optic option for those wanting something but is very effective and affordable. The HS512C is well suited for home defense, and I’d even take it on as a duty optic. The little fella is a fighter and provides an enclosed optic option that might be a little easier to find than the AEMS for the next few months.

SIG Romeo 1 Pro Optic
Updated: November 4, 2022This week, we got our hands on the latest member of the SIG miniature red dot family, the Romeo 1 Pro.

The 2nd Debut of the Sako S20 Hybrid Rifle
Updated: March 31, 2024The Sako S20 was definitely cheated when it hit the market in 2020; Covid19 stole the media spotlight and was also responsible for the cancellation of the SHOT Show and the Annual NRA Show, the two largest firearms manufacturer events of the year.
