I probably have at least one of every type of the most common red dots out there. This AimPoint is just okay. For the price I expected more. I have both more expensive and less expensive red dots and this one, base on optic quality, operation and lack of accessories (lens covers, lens cleaning cloth...), I would rank this one among the middle. The optics quality is fair to good. The number of dot sizes or clicks of dot brightness either doesn't work properly or the first few settings are so dim you can't see them, even in total darkness. The last two brightness settings are so bright they have a halo effect almost a hazy double vision effect. Every red dot and scope I have purchased has come with lens covers to protect the lenses from dirt, dust and damage. Not AimPoint. The instructions even say, lens covers can be purchased at an extra cost. Really, for what you pay you would think two little round plastic caps would accompany your new red dot. Another small thing, no lens cleaning cloth or lens paper. I suppose you can buy this too at an extra cost. I'm surprised they didn't charge extra for the box and the very simple instruction pamphlet. It was simple to mount, easy to sight in and so far appears to be built to last (at least for now, we will see after I run it through a few combat courses). When asked if I would recommend this product I said yes, but shop around, check out others. You may find something of similar quality, better price and it may even come with lens c

Sorry I spoke out of turn. I broke my own rule, I assumed. Apparently Black Spider is MADE here in the good old USA. I couldn't find anything on any of their box, pamphlets, warranty paperwork or on the red dot itself. So I assumed it must be made outside our great country, but after researching it, I believe they are made here, still not a 100% sure, just what I read on the Internet leads me to believe they probably are. I Dont want to put out bad information on a good product.

Pros:This optic is nice and compact. Bright illumination very strong and durable with easy to use controls. Now the best part, the price. I bought it here at Opticsplanet on sale, also I had a discount coupon from a previous purchase. With both the sale price & coupon, I got it out the door delivered for $98. Even without my discount coupon, the sale price alone was a screaming deal. I have, ACOGS, Trijicons, Eotechs and Aimpoints probably one of every optic under the sun, and this little thing can hold its own with the big boys. Now I just got it so I can't speak about how long it will hold up or battery life, but if it lasts, I definitely will get more.
Cons: BIG con NOT made in America. Also placement of battery. Not to difficult but a bit hard for someone with big fat fingers like me to open and replace battery. Even though it has great illumination there is a very minor, hard to see halo on the red dot. It's one of those things that it is hard to even see, but once you do you can't help but look for it. But when shooting and concentrating on target you don't notice it. I only mention it because other spider optics may have it worse or not at all. This one I'd definitely a keeper.

This holster I really like. Made well. Fits firearm well. No real break in period. Keeps firearm secure. Great conceal holster, great work holster. Own 4 for different firearms. Just a well made work horse of a holster. Very comfortable to wear all day and night.

The holster is well made but a bit too tight for firearm. Took a longer break in time. But still a great holster. Conceals well in all types of clothing. Rides the body nice making it easy to retrieve firearm when needed. Great for undercover work, off duty or suit & tie work. Worth the price

Built well. Fits gun perfectly. Helps conceal even under pull over shirts, not just button ups. Keeps firearm close and tight to body Yet still able to make a quick smooth ready draw. Would recommend to anyone needing a good concealment holster.

This trail cam has many easy to operate functions, from factory pre set options to custom options programmed by operator. Both still photos and audio/video. Long battery life and easy to set up. The metal "bear box" or security box is well built and and fits the camera great.
