The aimpoint brand speaks for itself. - Aimpoint CompM5 1x18mm Red Dot Sight

This was a splurge for a no expense spared Dream Gun I’m putting together. Clear glass, no noticeable parralax butvim sure some exists if tested closer, but that’s a trade off I’ll take over an eotech for the 5yr battery life, so I can slays have it on ready to go. My only critique is this, many competitors that while lacking the track record for reliability, have various reticle options, such as circle dots, bdc, cheveron vs a 2moa for a more precise point when zeroing. I love that Aimpoint has great track record n keeps things as simply as possible to make them less prone to failure, however, it’s time Aimpoint steps up their game. When a company like Holosun can come out with a imitation micro, with red or green circle dot, for under 250$ they has very glass w/o a tint, and are able to buy 3-4 of them vs one comp m5, as much as I love this red dot& as much as I choose to drop the cash Bc this will be on a primary home defense pistol, chances are what 9/10 recreational shoots use their red dots for, they can get more features for a fraction of the price. I love this and would recommend it for your 1-2 weapons that may one day be used to protect the life of upubor your loved ones. If Aimpoint would just come out with a micro, or the pro with a circle for option, to have the nice retocleAND the great battery life they would never be able to keep em in stock. Bc right now, for serious use, have to choose between poor battery life of eotech for reticle n little to no parralax, or 2moa dot for the long battery life n minimal parralax. As, Bc companies the copy the micro like Holosun lack the extensive track record, most would be hesitant to trust them for serious use. However, they have shown what can be done for s franctiom of the price, which the way the markets going, Aimpoint will have to grow and evolve to be able to keep justifying their asking price, or those companies seeking for a piece Of aimpoints market share, will keep digging into it, if they choose to do nothing& not change to meet consumer demands. As It will be interesting to see if they will take that next step, as I’m not a huge eotech guy, but would love their new xps2-2(grn reticle) &g33 combo even if it does weight near 2lbs. Like I said, if Aimpoint can put a similar reticle concept in micro body with light weight n battery life& their reputation for durability, demand would be crazy for that.
