We stopped by Aimpoint to get a good look at their new optic, the Aimpoint ACRO P-1. The Aimpoint ACRO P-1 features a 3.5 MOA dot size, powered off of a CR1225 3V Lithium battery. Battery life is 10,000 hours. I think for what I do, I’ll stick with my T1 and T2s…but if I ever decide to toss a red dot on one of my pistols, I’m certainly going to give this a good look. It might also be ideal for tossing on a small SBR, PDW type set up. Keith Weaver from Aimpoint gave us the overview…
In addition to giving us an overview of the Aimpoint ACRO P-1 He also went over the S-variant of the Aimpoint CompM5.
