Once dismissed as fragile toys, modern reflex sights have proven themselves to be reliable under harsh conditions, in competition, on duty, and in military testing.

When Rights Meet Red Tape Imagine applying for something as fundamental as a concealed carry permit and discovering you’ll get your interview… in the year your grandkids graduate high school.
