Michael J Perrine's Review of NightStar 1x20mm Head Mounted Night Vision Binoculars
I've used night vision from 1985 in the Marines and my own sets working government contract to working a heavily wooded and animal-laden acres of security area for a hippy computer company who worried more about the animals...on night shift. I've faced off with poachers and dodged momma black bear with the best night vision I could afford and often a model 629 .44 magnum hidden under my black ECWS parka. I've driven UTVs in the dark with headsets on passive, and have modified flashlights to try and get more reach in active for years. Well, I guess you could say since 1985 to present, even walked security at night around my house and neighborhood with post-hurricane power outage with a folding AKM and a shoulder rig with a custom knife and sheath and the holstered Colt Detective I'd rigged for my military injuries, wearing a soft harness NV gogglde head set. The headset with this Nightstar seems to work well-I have a head/neck/leg injury and haven't tried rigging to a ''Soft Air '' helmet set yet, just an old boonie. The optics are mighty fine and clear and will flip up and out of the way if I should grab my RPK-47 or my ten shot 870 pump out at my wooded 20 acres. I don't think I'd have a better head set of NVGs without breaking a grand. Buy them, they are great. Optics Planet-how about some OPMOD action with these and some magnification hand held/tripod scope with some magnification like 8 or so?
Pros:
clarity, lightness
Cons:
like all, should come with real padded cases
Best Used for:
patrolling a fenceline or hunting poachers at night
Would Recommend:
Yes

At 14 I had my first gunfights in woods where we weren't wanted by certain people. After 4 dogs shot and 1 of my dogs was stabbed, I started hunting the poachers and thieves. I drove them away and ended up on the survivalist path. I am a former Marine, Fast Attack Submariner, soldier-unit armourer and M60 machinegunner. I was FBI trained/certified as an L/E Academy Firearms Instructor & former government contractor. When I was first assigned to the FBI instructor class, I had a broken right ankle, which I hid and wrapped in my boot. The instructors identified my injury on the fourth day but allowed me to continue if I could pass, or return later. I finished the next weeks and passed. I developed defensive tactics based on a lifetime of studying and training in multiple martial arts and honed it working in 2 prisons/2 jails and u/c work. I have stopped 2 terrorist events, one domestically and one in W. Germany. A drunk driver caused my TBI disability/aneurism&constant migraines,sadly.
