Good overview I’ve had my ACRO P-2 since mid July and find the brightness to be about one step up from the equivalent setting on the P-1. Overall the P-2 is a worthy upgrade and certainly the ACRO to get.

You said that the P1 has a battery life of 15,000 hours and that you have to replace the battery every month. There are 720 hours in a 30 day month, what happened with the other 14,280 hours of battery capacity.

I attended a pistol red dot instructor school. I was top shot shooting an Acro. We did a drill where the instructor was misting our optics with water while we shot, simulating bad weather. One of the guys shooting an RMR couldn’t shoot because he just saw too many dots once it got wet. Acro has a great field of view, is extremely rugged, and you don’t have to remove the optic to change batteries. Highly recommended.

Good video. You mentioned that you switched to the Holosun 509. I have a 509 as well but find the slight magnification an issue. I also see a little magnification in my RMR but not as bad as the 509. I don’t see any with my Sig Romeo 3XL and Romeo 1 Pro. That said, I really like the idea of an enclosed pistol optic and think that will be the future for duty/Mil. How is the glass with the ACRO compared to the Holosun 509 and other optics you’ve used?

I have the 509t and ACRO C2. The Holosun has the bigger window, but the C2 is much clearer, no fisheye or magnification that I notice (compared to the very noticeable fisheye and magnification of the 509t) and the aimpoint is almost true to color while the 509t has a strong blue tint. Both work great though when actually shooting.

That is the big question. The glass is clearer on the ACRO. For me though, it is only something I really notice when I am looking for it. There are some that look down on Holosun due to it being made in China, for those people I recommend the ACRO. I have two 509Ts and plan on buying another soon.

My choice? NEITHER! Instead a HOLOSUN AEMS. Many more features and JUST as rugged. (See Sage Dynamics' drop testa on KZitem.) but far less money. I have the AEMS on my RUGER PC chassis carbine and a HOLOSUN 509T on my RUGER 57 pistol. I'd say Aimpoint needs to wake up and INNOVATE - or lose more and more market share to HOLOSUN.
@mouthbreather280
2 жыл бұрын
The AEMS is not a pistol optic, and the glass clarity and dot quality will not be as good as the more expensive Aimpoint. So you are paying for something. Whether that extra price is worth it to you or not, that’s up to you to decide. Other than that holosun is a Chinese company. I would rather send my funds to a Swiss company. Again, personal choices.
