I'm going to start out by assuming, before even watching the video, that the Eotech EXPS-3-2 will be the winner in almost every way other than the slight possibility that the BDC reticle may be slightly more occlusive than single dot reticles. If I'm correct, I will feel ego. If I'm not correct, then you're wrong obviously. (Gun world perspective)

Thanks for this well illustrated, detailed and objective comparison. I just bought the HOLOSUN AEMS circle/dot sight for my 9 mm RUGER PC chassis carbine. I don't have night vision and don't ever expect to use night vision with it. BUT I may get a thermal sight which has its own reticle. Doubtful I could properly duct tape a thermal monocular behind or ahead of my AEMS but who knows? Maybe a plain, no-reticle thermal monocular jerry rigged in front of the AEMS would work. (I also have the HOLOSUN 509T on my RUGER 57 pistol that works very well.)

You said you prefer the simple dot on the AEMS, but for sake of comparison to the Eotech it would have been nice to see it in circle dot mode as well. Not that I run NV. And I have a pretty decent astigmatism so the only reflex sights that don't look like a fuzzy blob to me at the Holosuns with mutlireticle capability for some reason.
@Logan-mr4xg

I have a slight astigmatism also, and the holosun reticles are by far the best for me too. Now by no means does that stop me from shooting anything, but I can tell the difference. Also I notice that circle or circle dots are better than just dots for me. Also green reticles are FAR better than red for me. And they appear brighter to my eye, so therefore I can run them at a lower setting than a red equivalent. (I don't do much night stuff anymore though, so speaking solely on daytime activities for the green v red )

Great video! I run the EOTech (on a riser) through binos and love it. I might have missed something. You say Passive Aiming is a secondary option due to low light but you can run an IR light like a normal flashlight while shooting passive. Even if you run a laser (assuming you're basing this on no illum) you still can't PID your target without an illuminator. Again, great video, not trolling at all, just curious on the clarification. I still do run a laser but honestly outside of the fun factor of my laser have found shooting passively to be a primary option.

If you're going to use IR illum then you might as well use active IR aiming as well. Active aiming being much easier to execute while maintaining better posture and situational awareness.
@tripplewhipper

I will make one point. When first starting out passive makes a lot of sense from a cost perspective when getting into the nods game. Youve got an optic that can get it done in day and night albeit not in all situations for the latter and this option is generally the cheaper and first option in my opinion. This is with the caveat that once it is feasible to do so, that you should pick up a laser as soon as possible to round out your setup. Maybe this isnt the route for everyone for example if they prefer a magnified optic for daytime use. Interesting things to think about.
