Reviews & Ratings for Patriot Optics Double Tap 1x30mm 2 MOA Red/Green Dot Sight — 8 reviews — Page 1

The laser works good and the dots are just ok. When I go to turn the unit off, I hold the button for 5 seconds or more and the unit does not turn off. I have to remove the battery to get the laser to turn off. Also, when I try to change the dots from green to red, or from red to green, again, the buttons do not change the color of the dot. The dots are a funny flat shape too. They are not round like all of my other dot scopes.

Out of the box, the Double Tap was impressive. Very "tactical looking" and all of its controls are placed for intuitive operation.
The optic is easily mounted onto the top rail of my FPC, but here is where it lost one star from me. When folding the FPC, it soon became apparent that the oversized mounting knob wouldn't clear the top of the chamber area of the rifle, which led to me having to move the optic further forward on the rail. It's totally not a game changer as i do intend to mount a magnifier behind the Double Tap anyway. However, if i preferred to keep it mounted further back on the rail, I would have to remove it or move it every time i folded or unfloded the FPC. Not a very convenient thing to have to do. I am considering replacong the knob with a wingnut or other fastener that will allow the sight to clear the chamber top.
The optics are very nice and having the option of either red or green dot is a plus. The laser works well also. Today I will head to the range to sight it in and test everything out under fire. I am expecting to be pleasantly satisfied with the operation of the Patriot Optics Double Tap.

The item comes very securely packaged, which was impressive. The optic is very nicely constructed and easy to operate. The mounting knob is a bit large and poses a mounting location issue where it interferes with the body of the FPC when folded if mounted too far back on the rail. I do intend to add a multiplier that should eliminate this issue. Also, making the knob so it could be switched to the other side would also correct the interference issue. Or one could add a smaller nut or wing nut to replace the knob. The flip up caps work well and hold the caps up and away from the optics securely. All in all, it's a great 1X optic that I am sure I'll enjoy for years on my FPC.

When I first came into the market for optics, I thought a red dot would be good. Then as a carpenter with a red laser, I have trouble seeing the red laser in daylight. I bought a new green laser for work and decided I need a green dot. Then I discovered this beauty. It is the best of all worlds, red & green dot with a green laser, what else could you ask for? I just received this optic and am still sighting it in but is easy to adjust. I am using it for a shotgun, and it is built to take the abuse. So far so good. I would recommend this optic for any application.

I just bought this red dot laser scope for my AR15. It seems to be of good quality. Have not had a chance to sight it in yet.

Got this for my AR-15 or AR-10, assuming that it would be used at less than 100 yd. Sighting in at 50 yards and only using on one AR-15, I can see the parallax was pretty bad. In order to be accurate your eye has to keep the dot in the center of the lens, I know the specs from the manufacturer show Parallax at 25 but at 50 you will be off Target by 4" or more if there is any off-center movement viewing through the lens. The dot adjustments do work well and hold. Laser adjustments also however laser is only good for 25 yds or less in daylight, but that was to be expected. The adjustment cover caps will affect the adjustment if they are put on too tight. They are not deep enough. It is a nice compact unit, replacing the mounting nut with an M5 stainless lock nut or wing nut saves a lot of space and weight. Battery is easy to install, make sure it is installed the right way though, it's opposite of what you might intuitively think. Red and Green Dot is easy to switch, intensities are easy to adjust, at night there is some dot glare within the optic but in daylight cannot be seen. Overall this is a nice unit, lens caps open easily and can be rotated in any position or removed easily. My only major complaint is with the Parallax issue which causes inaccuracy even at 50 yards. For Close Quarters I think this unit would be fine and will be what I use it for.
