What optic setup was used on the Staccato XL in this review?

The review utilized a Holosun 509 optic equipped with the Primary Arms ACSS reticle. Mounting this specific optic required a Dawson Precision RMR plate adapter combined with the Holosun RMR adapter plate due to the unique dimensions of the 509 with the ACSS reticle.

Is the Staccato XL suitable for duty use?

What are the benefits of the Primary Arms ACSS reticle?

The Primary Arms ACSS reticle is praised for its design, which includes an outer ring to help shooters re-center their aim. This feature is particularly beneficial for new red dot users, when shooting from unorthodox positions, and for maintaining target tracking while moving.
