Optics, Sights and Lasers

Trijicon RCR Red Dot

There are real benefits to a full-enclosed red dot sight where the emitter is not exposed to the world at large. Rain, snow and even lint easily make their way into the tiny nooks and crannies where the magic light exits the computer to be beamed onto the glass itself. An equally real first-world problem is the inside surface of the glass on traditional optics tends to collect dust and it’s tough to reach for proper cleaning.

Small and Fabulous: Holosun EPS Carry

Carry a subcompact? Check this out. Tiny, but with amazing visibility and the reticle is fantastic—easy to pick up and flexible for close and fast or farther and more deliberate aim. Cool stuff...

Streamlight TLR-8 sub

By Tom McHale|2023-06-06T15:28:09-04:00June 6th, 2023|

The “sub” in this one hints at its small and (extremely) light nature. Designed for compact carry guns like the GLOCK 43X and 48, SA Hellcat, SIG P365 and XL and other common subcompact models. Do check the model numbers carefully; some are gun specific, like the model shown here for GLOCKs with thin rails. The combo laser and light unit packs a whopping 500 lumens of steady or strobing light (your choice) into the small footprint powered by a CR123A battery. It’ll run for about an hour and a half with light and laser activated.
