Chompion Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The aimpoint acro will be coming out in the next month or two. Anyone planning to run one in carry optics? If anyone has had a chance to look at one and provide any feedback, that would be greatly appreciated!

be032 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Eh, I doubt the Acro P-1 is going to be too popular for competition. They're trying to build a bombproof housing, which means keeping the optic housing thick and a narrow window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPF Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I have one on the way and my slide is at KE Arms right now getting milled for it. For a purely USPSA carry optics application a DPP is probably better, but I'm going to use this gun/optic for general defensive duty and competition so I wanted Aimpoint level bombproofness. I won't have any backup irons on this gun, I want the optic to totally replace the sighting system and force me to learn to use a dot effectively for all applications.

BritinUSA Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The sight is listed as 30x30mm, I can’t find any information on window size though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPF Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I believe it's 16x16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a competition gun, I get this, but for a defensive / duty gun this seems like a bad idea. Backup irons aren’t about using them because you can’t use the dot in certain situations, they’re about having an option to fall back on if the optic for some reason fails. That said, I’ve seen more than one Open or Carry Optics shooter forget to turn their dot on or have it fail during a stage and shoot without a dot, just using the window and their index to aim. Some of them even did pretty well, although this technique is probably limited in how accurate you can be and requires that you have a consistent index in order to work at all.

Joedirt199 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Forgot to turn my rmr on durring a 5k run and gun. First stage brought the gun up to shoot a 50 yard steel sillouette. No dot. Had to use the sights. It was the first time competing with the reddot p09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
