Vortex Takes the Night: AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight Reviewed

Vortex Takes the Night: AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight Reviewed

{ 0 comments }

This optic is different than the Gen I in a few ways, including the addition of four night vision compatible brightnesses and the elimination of the micro USB charging port. It has robust aluminum construction, QD lever-lock system, and a waterproof rating of IPX8, meaning that it can be submerged in water deeper than 3 feet. Everything about the AMG UH-1 Gen II screams durability, repeatability, and dependability.

The VMOS allows me to have more leeway with what is or isn’t an overly pressured load. This item seems to be perfect for the person who may not have the benefit of using the same exact load in their rifle every time.

1791 Gunleather Changes the Game: New Ultra Custom Leather Holster With Memory-Lok Technology

I love the Ultra Custom (spoiler) because of its use of leather as the main component. Personally, I like carrying a gun in a leather holster (especially IWB) because the material is much softer to the touch than other options. However, there are negatives to an all-leather design. The Ultra Custom is everything that a leather holster is, without these negatives. Gun retention is on par with a Kydex holster if it is fit right!
