Wow. I am impressed. I've seen the reviews of the V1 of this sight. Sage Dynamics did their drop test and it kept on ticking. Cheap, bullet proof MRD; What more can you ask for?

Well, Holosun decided that a side loading battery compartment would be great. And bigger buttons. And a GREEN reticle. Sold.

This comes in a box with the Holosun wrap around white cardboard. What I did not expect was that the box is plastic, with a brown plastic lid that has padding built in to the underside. This is a nice box. It includes screws for mounting, a pic rail mount, a tool for changing the zero/battery, and the battery. The glass is pretty clear for a $200 optic. There is a tiny bit of image distortion, but not any more than my Sig Romeo 1. The circle/dot reticle is crisp and clear. Actually much clearer than my EOtech, which cost 3x what this did. Did you know this sight features auto-brightness? I did not see that, but it does. The reticle gets brighter or dimmer depending on the light condition you are in. It also has a motion activated feature, so it turns off after 10 minutes and "wakes up" when you move it. I verified this, because my Romeo 1 claims to do that but I have never seen it turn off. (It's been on my table motionless for 6 hours right now, still on.) It's also IPX7 waterproof.

I've not mounted this yet, so I haven't shot with it. However, I am confident it will work well based on the previous generation. This is meant for my P80 Not-A-Glock 20 build, so if it stands up

Ordered this trigger based on the fact that the Echo trigger has a shorter trigger and can pinch my finger when firing. Unlike the many YouTube videos of this product showing mag dumps, I just want quick, accurate double taps. Which is what I wound up with. Eventually.

I forget how many ARs I have built. Enough so that I just pop parts in by memory and don't have to follow directions. When I installed this trigger, I was very careful to install it as the directions specified. It installed with no issues, but failed the function tests in binary mode. I checked everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, still failed the first set of checks. I contacted Franklin Armory. They suggested a different mil-spec hammer. No problem, I have a few hanging around. Every other hammer, and I mean EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. that I tried failed the safety test. Oh, they worked in binary, but they also would drop when the rifle safety was engaged. That is no bueno. Contact Franklin Armory again. Oh, it must be your lower is out of spec. My Spike's lower is out of spec? Mmmm, doubt it, but whatever. Nope, still doesn't work in a Black Rain lower. Speak to a local range/gun store gunsmith who has installed hundreds of these. He checks it out for $20 and tells me it is out of spec. He said that he sees that a lot and to ask for an RMA as it will never work as is. I RMA'd it, which thankfully they did without hassle. The replacement parts came in and now it works fine. HOWEVER, the notes say the hammer was ou

Bought this to save money on a boresight to sight in my new Sig Romeo One sight. Cannot even close the chamber on this as it is too long. Since the barrel is still tilted when it isn't locked up, this is about worthless. Spend the extra money on a good 9mm boresight.
