Aimpoint - Duty RDS, Acro P-2 - SHOT Show 2022

This review covers the O-Sight XE, an RMR footprint enclosed emitter reflex sight. Key features include pop-up rear iron sights, user-selectable reticles (2 and 6 MOA dots, with circle options), a side battery tray, and IPX7 water resistance. The sight is motion-activated and offers 1 MOA per click adjustments for elevation and windage. It's presented as a budget-friendly, reliable option for pistol optics.

This review thoroughly tests the O-Sight XE enclosed red dot sight, focusing on its durability, performance, and features. The presenter, who has extensive experience with the previous XR model, conducts drop tests and live-fire evaluations over 3000 rounds. Key findings include its robust construction, clear optics with minimal parallax, and versatile reticle options, making it a strong contender for EDC and duty use, despite minor criticisms regarding the 'bunny ears'.

The Gideon Mediator XL is presented as a direct competitor to EOTech-style optics, featuring a large 28x38mm window and a versatile reticle system with a 3 MOA dot and 68 MOA circle, both of which can be independently disabled. It offers 10 brightness settings, with two specifically for night vision compatibility. The optic is ruggedized, shockproof, and has demonstrated reliability under heavy recoil, maintaining zero across multiple platforms. It utilizes a single CR123 battery and features a sleep mode with shake-awake functionality.

This review of the Olight Osight XR optic covers its performance over 6,000 rounds. Key features include a multi-reticle system with selectable dot sizes (2 MOA and 6 MOA), a closed emitter design for weather resistance, and a unique rechargeable system with a battery status indicator. The optic demonstrated good brightness, outperforming Holosun in direct sunlight, and maintained zero throughout the extensive testing, despite a minor electronic artifact observed once. The reviewer notes its potential for the optics market, particularly its innovative charging solution.

Joel Park provides an updated review of the Holosun 507 Comp with a gold reticle, comparing it to green and red dots. He details his extensive testing over seven days of classes in various lighting conditions and with different lens tints. While he likes the gold dot better than green, he still prefers red but acknowledges the gold offers a viable alternative without the issues he experienced with green.

This video provides a comprehensive review and installation guide for the CVlife BearMight compact red/green dot sight. It covers the optic's versatility across pistols, rifles, and shotguns due to its multiple adapter plates (RMSC, RMR, Glock MOS, Picatinny). The review highlights features like auto-brightness, side-load battery, and multi-reticle options, along with practical range testing and zeroing procedures. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, emphasizes the optic's durability and clarity, particularly for users with astigmatism.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.

This guide details the tool-less field stripping process for the Beretta ARX-160, as demonstrated by a Beretta factory representative. It covers the quick-release barrel, stock, trigger group, and bolt assembly, emphasizing ease of maintenance. The representative highlights the rifle's modularity and ambidextrous features, noting its current military availability with future civilian plans.

This entry details the Fostech .50 Cal Drum Magazine, designed for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, featuring a 20-round capacity and billet machined aluminum construction. It also touches upon the Fostech Rader .308 rifle. The information is presented with high technical focus from a manufacturer representative.

This video from ARFCOM News details a ballistic gel test of Remington's 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi Model M92 carbine. The test highlights how carbine-length barrels significantly enhance .357 Magnum performance, achieving velocities comparable to some .300 Blackout loads and demonstrating substantial penetration and expansion in ballistic gel. The analysis touches on terminal ballistics theories and the unique behavior of high-velocity pistol rounds fired from rifles.
