This is a truly terrible design because the trigger shoe safety catches on the frame all the time, every time you try to pull the trigger. Why? Because the safety blade is extremely thin with a relatively strong spring so it has to dig into your finger deeply before it starts to disengage making it snag a little on every pull. It's also extremely uncomfortable and painful to use just in a couple dry fire pulls never mind if you tried to shoot 2-3 hundred rounds at a range trip. Finally, it didn't change the dynamics of the trigger pull at all so it was a huge downgrade in every possible way as well as just didn't work cause it hit the frame every pull

*update* They replaced this optic and the reticle is now working properly, however , this is a big issue. Eotech is a VERY trusted brand and the EXPS is a VERY trusted optic so someone who isn't as knowledgeable or sure about their eyesight would not have known they got a defective optic. This is unfair and could have cost them a lot of money or just made them think that was how it was supposed to be. *Original review* I have an EXPS3-0 and wanted the EXPS3-1 for night vision and just in general because its so much better to not have a cluttered reticle but under a magnifier, the dot on the EXPS3-1 is HORRENDOUS. Placing my G45 back to back on the EXPS3-0 and EXPS3-1 it was night and day the clarity of the dot. the EXPS3-1 had extreme deformation and glare turning the dot into some sort of crescent moon thing while the EXSP3-0's dot was clear, albeit cluttered with the circle and hash marks around it. I am going to try to exchange it and hope i just got a bad EXPS3-1. ***Be prepared to replace it if you get a bad one

Well we all clicked on this because of tomorrow war or cause it looks cool and it certainly delivers on 2nd cool. Surprisingly, it also delivers on functionality as well. It's very ergonomic and works great on my SBR. Only downside is it's pretty bulky and it will prevent you from disassembling your AR unless you take it off and you need to add pic rails for it. Overall I like it way more than I thought and I'm keeping it on the gun. They should add storage in it for the tool to take it off since it impedes disassembly.

Night vision is a daunting piece of tech to get into being so expensive with lots of information but yet no information at the same time. These companies are not great at spelling things out but Steele industries does much better than most do. These DTNVS' are actually utilizing the ACTinBlack DTNVS bridge with L3 or Elbit intensifier tubes and then Steele assembles them to offer this complete DTNVS. Quality appears awesome, warranty inspires confidence, I have already called them to ask numerous questions and they also have a very good website with instant chat that I have used as well.
The company seems great, the product seems top notch, and I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and choice to go with the Steele DTNVS. The Elbit thin filmed white phosphorous tubes are amazing. Beautiful picture. One of my tubes has an artifact on the bottom left corner that you can see if you look at a white wall, the other is perfect. Steele fully discloses their artifact policy which is unique and I do not notice it at all when actually in use. The IR illuminator built in to the bridge is extremely effective. It lights up my entire 35 square foot family room like its daytime. I have perfect vision, I can be in a room where I cant see anything at all but these cant still see details, even without the illuminator on. The darker the room the more grainy the picture and eventually in a pitch black room, night vision cant work without IR but its amazing how dark of a room they will work in.
