Aimpoint Introduces ACRO Pistol Sight

From Aimpoint:

Malmö, Sweden – June 2018 – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in red dot sighting
technology, is proud to introduce their new line of red dot sights, the Aimpoint® ACRO™ (Advanced
Compact Reflex Optic) Series. The unique small sight design of the Aimpoint® ACRO series electronic
red-dot sight was developed for use on pistols and other weapon platforms.
For many years, end users have requested a small enclosed red dot sight to fit on handguns. Utilizing
Aimpoint’s advanced sight technology, Aimpoint is proud to launch the first of its kind to the market. The
Acro P-1, offers an enclosed system that is much more durable than those with open systems. It is also
the only sight in its size category fully tested for shock, vibration, temperature span and other
environmental stress.
The Acro P-1 optic can perform under tough conditions while adding negligible size and weight to the
equipment. Tested with a minimum of 20,000 rounds on a .40 cal pistol slide, this small optic has proven
itself in its size category as the leader in ruggedness and reliability.
Designed for direct integration onto pistol slides, the Aimpoint Acro P-1 sight can also be used as a
backup sight for magnifying scopes, personal defense weapons, and on any system where a small red
dot is applicable.
The Acro P-1 sight is a 1X (non-magnifying) parallax-free optic that features a 3.5 minute of angle
(MOA) red dot for fast target acquisition. It is fully submersible to 25 meters and allows continuous
operation for over 1 year on a single CR1225 battery. Dot intensity is adjusted with side push buttons.
“The development of the Acro P-1 sight sets a new standard for compact pistol mounted reflex optics,”
said Aimpoint AB President Lennart Ljungfelt. “The commitment we make to our customers is to develop
the highest performing red-dot sights available. The Acro P-1 optic fulfills that commitment by providing
the lightest and most rugged enclosed red-dot sight in its size category on the market.”
All Aimpoint products are manufactured in Sweden, and Aimpoint AB is headquartered in Malmö,
Sweden. For more information on Aimpoint or other Aimpoint products, please visit our webpage at

How Rifle Scopes Work

From Guns.com:

So you just laid down a stack of green on the latest, greatest and most expensive rifle in the world.  Good for you, but realize that if you don’t have a world class scope or other optical device to go with your long gun (and an intimate understanding of how to properly use that sometimes enigmatic piece of hardware), you’ll never get to witness your rifle’s full potential.

XS Sights’ XTI AR-15 Angle Mount Back-up Iron Sights

From: Richard Mann

Sometimes optics break. And, sometimes you need to shoot things with an AR that are too close for you to use your optic, particularly if your optic has magnification. An option is to have open sights that co-witness with your optic but these can be distracting. They also work best with zero magnification optical sights. XS Sights has developed an ingenious solution that will work on any AR with a full length rail. These sights are calledXTI™ (Xpress Threat Interdiction™) AR-15 angle mount sights.
