holographics might be obsolete!!!

This video provides an in-depth review and testing of the Infitec OWS 32 optic, highlighting its innovative waveguide technology. The presenter, acting as a firearms instructor, details its features, compares it to traditional holographic and reflex sights, and conducts rigorous durability tests including drops and live-fire scenarios. The review emphasizes the optic's potential to combine the best aspects of other sight types while mitigating their drawbacks, particularly for users with astigmatism.

This review compares the Zentel Vigil holographic sight to the EOTech EXPS series, highlighting the Vigil's significant improvements in battery life (10,000 hours vs. EOTech's ~1 week) and a lighter, more compact form factor. While the Vigil offers competitive night vision performance and durability, it falls short of the EOTech's near-zero parallax and slightly superior magnifier performance. The review notes the Vigil's auto on/off feature malfunctioned on the tested unit, but its overall battery life still vastly outperforms EOTech. The Zentel Vigil is presented as a compelling, more affordable alternative to EOTech, though its manufacturing origin (China) may be a consideration for some buyers.

This guide, drawing from Shortshot Tony's expertise, clarifies the fundamental differences between holographic and reflex sights. It covers their distinct optical mechanisms, parallax characteristics, durability under damage, signature visibility, size/weight advantages for reflex sights on handguns, and production cost variations. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for selecting the right optic for your firearm and application.

This review of the DOT EHS1 holographic sight highlights its unique position as the third holographic weapon sight on the market. While it offers a compact footprint and a shake-awake feature, its 2.26 height over rail and first-generation quirks like refresh rate flicker and a larger center dot are noted. The reviewer suggests it's a compelling option for specific setups, particularly compact PDWs, but its premium $600 price point and current issues make it a cautious recommendation.

This video explains how astigmatism can cause red dot sights to appear distorted, like a starburst. It provides practical, phone-free and phone-assisted tests to diagnose the issue. The instructor offers several solutions, from adjusting brightness and using polarized lenses to switching reticle colors or exploring alternative optics like holographic, prism, or LPVO sights, emphasizing that a blurry dot is not a dead end.

This review of the Neo Optics HH1 holographic sight details its design, features, and performance under stress. The optic is compared to EOTech, with particular attention paid to its reticle clarity, brightness, battery life, and durability. A drop test reveals significant issues with zero retention, indicating it may not be suitable for demanding tactical use despite its EOTech-like form factor.

This guide details how to properly zero a red dot sight on a 9mm handgun, based on expert instruction. It emphasizes understanding mechanical offset and ballistic trajectory. The video advises against zeroing at very close distances like 5 yards, recommending a 15-yard zero for 9mm handguns as it provides a more predictable point of impact at common engagement distances, typically around 50 yards.

This guide details the unique top-loading process for the Kel-Tec P50 pistol using stripper clips, as demonstrated by Shortshot Tony. It covers loading 20 rounds of 5.7x28mm ammunition and highlights the firearm's exceptionally lightweight design and minimal recoil during firing, offering a practical overview for potential users.

SHORTSHOT TONY, an experienced tactical content creator, explains the proper use of red dot sights and iron sights. He emphasizes that co-witnessing is for backup purposes, not simultaneous aiming, and that red dots are parallax-free. Tony advises against aligning the red dot with irons for every shot, suggesting it's a misuse of the optic's capabilities and potentially a waste of money if not utilized correctly.

This video from SHORTSHOT TONY provides practical advice on defensive target selection, emphasizing aiming for the pelvic girdle rather than the head or center mass when facing threats potentially wearing body armor. The instructor, identified as a firearms enthusiast with practical shooting experience, humorously but directly explains the tactical advantage of targeting the pelvis to immobilize an opponent. The demonstration utilizes a 2011-style pistol equipped with a red dot optic.
