Aimpoint vs Eotech vs Trijicon and the various options for short, medium and longer range engagements
We just filled out dealer listing for the Aimpoint product line and this was based on a large customer base that wanted it. We were actually contacted directly by Aimpoint to carry their product line because so many people came in here and wanted it. We usually listen to what are customers are asking for and depending on what it is, we fill out the dealer applications and order what we know is going to move. The Aimpoint Patrol Optic seems to be the biggest hit and not because it’s something fancy, it’s because it’s not that expensive and it gets the job done. We still have a large selection of combat optics because our customers are Military, Law Enforcement and even just competition shooters. The Trijicon optics are higher priced but there are certain levels our customers.
If you want adjustable power, which is something many law enforcement are asking for, you may want to think about the Trijicon SRS sight or go with the Eotech sights. The most popular sights right now are the EXPS2-0 and the XPS2-0, these Eotech sights have a more compact look to them and can really help remove the bulk from your AR15. The Eotech 512 is very popular if you want to stick with AA batteries and don’t want to use a Magnifier but with the Eotech 556 you can have the advantage of having left side access to the adjustable power levels and still access them when using a magnifier. Various gun owners that own everything from a Windham AR15 to a Spikes or LWRC M6A2 rifle use Eotech sights, why, because they have good reputations for CQB.
