FN PUREVIEW™: what's the technology behind it ?

This video explains the advantages of red dot sights on handguns, contrasting them with traditional iron sights. Instructor Ben Stoeger details how red dots offer a single-plane aiming solution, simplifying focus on the target and improving speed and accuracy, especially at distance or under stress. The discussion also covers the subjective preference for red versus green dot colors, noting that while green may 'pop' more due to eye sensitivity, it can also be distracting for some, whereas red is often perceived as less attention-grabbing and more natural in outdoor environments. The importance of training with optics to leverage their benefits is emphasized.

This video provides a comprehensive unboxing and installation guide for the CH Precision Max multi-reticle red dot sight. The presenter, Brian from First Shot Tactical, details the optic's features, including its large window, multi-reticle options (dot, circle, circle-dot), RMSC footprint, and technical specifications like IPX7 waterproofing and 50,000-hour battery life. The installation process highlights potential compatibility issues with certain firearm footprints and the necessity of adapter plates, ultimately demonstrating the optic's successful mounting on a Springfield Armory Prodigy.

This video provides an in-depth review of the DNT NVMD C200, a versatile digital optic functioning as a magnifier, red dot sight, night vision clip-on, and action camera. The reviewer, with apparent experience in firearms optics, details its multi-functional capabilities, including low-light performance with white and green phosphor modes, its utility as a standalone or redundancy optic, and its integrated camera features. Specifications, operational nuances, and potential areas for improvement are discussed, offering a comprehensive look at its value proposition, particularly for those seeking night vision capabilities under $1000.

This guide explains the differences between open and closed emitter red dot sights. Open emitters offer a wider field of view but are more susceptible to dirt and oils, making them better for open or duty carry. Closed emitters provide superior protection against environmental contaminants, making them ideal for concealed carry and harsh conditions. Both types are functional, but the choice depends on the intended application and user preference for maintenance.

This video demonstrates the installation of the Aimpoint CO-WA system on a Springfield Armory Echelon pistol. The presenter highlights the unique 'ski boot' and 'ski binding' mechanism of the CO-WA, which allows for secure optic mounting without screws passing through the sight itself, emphasizing a lack of side-to-side wiggle and reduced stress on screws.

This video provides a first look at the new Glock COA (Cut-Off Action) models, specifically the Glock 19 Gen 6, Glock 17, and Glock 45. It highlights the proprietary rear sight system designed to lock the COA optic in place without screws interfering with the optic's internals. The video also introduces aftermarket sight options, such as Angry Bear Sights, which offer improved co-witness capabilities and tritium inserts for low-light conditions.

The FN Pure View is presented as the world's first holographic micro red dot sight, engineered by a firearms manufacturer as an integral part of the weapon system. It utilizes image guide technology for a clear sight picture and rapid target acquisition, offering compactness, light weight, and durability. Designed for operators, it features an ultra-clear viewing window, intelligent brightness adjustment, and robust construction (IP68 rated) to withstand harsh environments and maintain zero through tens of thousands of rounds.

The FN P90 is presented as the world's first holographic micro dot sight, designed as an integral part of the firearm system rather than an add-on. It utilizes image guide technology with a nanostructured flat glass waveguide for a clear sight picture and faster target acquisition. The sight is engineered for compactness, lightweight, and durability, proven to maintain zero through thousands of rounds and impacts. It features an auto-brightness capability and is constructed with hydrophobic glass and IP68 sealing for reliable performance in harsh conditions.

The FN Pervue is introduced as FN's first micro orthographic red dot sight, leveraging waveguide optic technology from the augmented reality market for a more compact design. This new optical architecture uses image guide technology to create a true orthographic sight where the dot is an image, not a reflection. It features an on-axis light path directed to the bottom of the glass and conducted to the user's eye via a nano structure, resulting in a clear, tint-free, flat lens with no optical aberrations. Designed to be ruggedized yet lightweight and compact, it was initially developed for pistols due to their demanding nature for red dot sights, and has been validated on other FN platforms to meet robustness standards. The Pervue signifies FN's broader optics strategy and commitment to integrated solutions.
