Roger Barrera of QVO Tactical provides an expert overview of new Holosun optics introduced at SHOT Show 2026. He details the EPS Core's design for compact slides, the AEMS Micro and Macro's enclosed emitter options with specific footprint compatibility, a new gold reticle for enhanced visibility, and the high-performance 507 Pro Max competition optic.

This review covers the Olight SE RMSc footprint pistol optic, highlighting its green dot reticle options (2 MOA dot, 32 MOA ring, or both) and features like auto on/off, waterproof/shockproof/fogproof construction, and a built-in rear sight. The presenter found the green dot particularly crisp for his astigmatism and noted its excellent daytime brightness. The optic performed well on a Shield Plus, offering a good co-witness with factory iron sights and demonstrating accuracy during range testing.

This guide covers the installation and basic use of the Osight SE green dot optic, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor. It highlights the optic's RMSc footprint, user-replaceable battery, and versatile reticle options (2 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, or combination). The video also compares the green and red reticle variants, noting their identical functionality aside from color.

This guide details modifications to the Springfield Echelon to enhance its shooting performance and ergonomics. Key upgrades include slide porting by 365 Weapons for reduced recoil, installation of a Sauer Wolf EDG enclosed optic, and a Tyrant Arms raised slide catch to resolve accidental slide lock issues. Further enhancements involve frame stippling, a Tyrant Arms trigger, a modified magazine release, and tactical tape for improved grip, making the Echelon a top-tier handgun for the presenter.

This guide details the considerations for mounting red dot sights on rifles, comparing top-mounted versus 45-degree offset configurations. Instructor Mike Odow emphasizes that while personal preference plays a role, understanding the impact on cheek weld, weapon manipulation, and effective range is crucial. The 45-degree offset offers a consistent cheek weld but has limitations at distance, while top-mounting requires adapting to a new cheek weld position.

Elliott Delp, a firearms enthusiast with practical shooting experience, recommends a 16-inch barrel AR-15 as the standard, worry-free choice for most shooters due to its versatility. He highlights its advantages in muzzle velocity and long-range ballistics. For specialized home defense or CQB, he suggests considering a 10.5-inch 5.56 SBR if budget and legal compliance allow.

This guide compares the auditory intimidation factor of a pump-action shotgun versus an AR-15 charging handle for home defense scenarios. Elliott Delp, a firearms enthusiast, demonstrates the distinct sounds and discusses their potential psychological impact on an intruder. While both are noted as intimidating, the iconic sound of a shotgun pump is highlighted for its unique deterrent effect, especially in a home defense context.

This video features firearms content creator Elliott Delp discussing the psychological impact of pump-action shotguns for home defense. He demonstrates how the distinct sound of racking the shotgun can act as a significant deterrent, potentially stopping an intruder without the need for firing a shot. The focus is on the intimidation factor and the immediate recognition of danger associated with this sound.

This video reviews the Aero Precision AR15, specifically focusing on its slick side upper receiver which omits the forward assist. While this design offers weight reduction, the reviewer humorously questions Aero Precision's confidence in the rifle's reliability without this feature, suggesting it implies an assumption of no bolt-to-battery issues. The review highlights the trade-offs between minimalist design and traditional AR-15 functionality.
