This video provides an expert-level review of various weapon lasers, focusing on practical application and real-world performance rather than just specifications. The speaker, demonstrating significant expertise, discusses the pros and cons of models like the L3Harris PEQ-2, Steiner DBAL-A3, and B.E. Meyers MAWL series. The MAWL C1+ is highlighted as the top civilian-legal choice due to its illuminator technology and ergonomic design, while other units are critiqued for durability, ergonomics, or value.
EOTech unveiled five new products at SHOT Show 2026, including the EXPS3-HD holographic sight with an integrated shroud, the EFLX CE closed-emitter pistol red dot featuring dual footprint compatibility and shake-awake technology, and the consumer OGL laser with visible/IR lasers and illuminator. They also introduced 3D-printed titanium suppressors for various calibers with 'Vent Forward' technology. The presentation highlights EOTech's expansion into new product categories.
This video offers a first look at the commercial version of the EOTech OGL (On-Gun Laser). It details the external controls, including the top-mounted 'FIRE' button and F/S selector, as well as the rear mode selector with settings for visible and IR lasers/illuminators. The review highlights the unit's compact design, CR123A battery compartment, and standard Picatinny mounting system, emphasizing its rugged construction and functional ergonomics.
The Eotech OGL, initially hyped for a civilian release, remains restricted to military and law enforcement due to its high cost and delayed market entry. Despite advanced features like a VCSEL emitter and adjustable illuminator, its size and projected price make it uncompetitive against newer, more affordable options like the Holosun IRIS. Eotech's strategy prioritizes government contracts, leaving civilian consumers with limited access and value.
The Holosun IRIS is a new three-function IR laser aiming module, finally hitting the civilian market after SHOT Show 2024. It features a 60mW VCSEL illuminator, offering significantly improved performance over older models like the LS321 and competing directly with higher-end units. Its compact design, intuitive controls, and competitive $900 retail price position it as a strong contender in the tactical optics space.
The EOTECH OGL civilian laser offers a compact, all-aluminum design with a green laser and VCSEL illuminator, aiming to compete with the PEQ-15. Key features include a top-mounted pressure pad, pattern generators, diffusers, and a unique throw lever for beam divergence adjustment. It is powered by a single CR-123 battery and includes a 6-inch Modlite pressure pad.
The EOTECH OGL is a compact, deck-of-cards-sized on-gun laser system featuring co-aligned visible and IR aiming lasers for simplified zeroing. It utilizes advanced VCSEL laser technology and includes a unique sliding lever to adjust the illuminator from spot to flood patterns. This tactical accessory was a notable introduction at SHOT Show 2023.
