Aimpoint ACRO P-1
Aimpoint’s new compact 1X ACRO P-1 pistol sight was built to endure environmental and temperature extremes and has been tested to withstand the firing of more than 20,000 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition. Designed with an enclosed optical channel that completely protects the signal between the emitter and the lens along with sealed electronic components, the sight is submersible to 25 meters. Rain, dust, mud, and sand cannot disrupt the sight.
The 1.9x1.2x1.2-inch sight mounts directly to the optics-ready slide cut on modern pistols, utilizing a one-piece adapter plate. The ACRO P-1 features a 3.5-MOA red-dot reticle, digital intensity adjustment switches, and an aluminum housing. Power is provided by a single CR1225 3V lithium battery. Weight is 2.1 ounces. While the ACRO P-1 was developed for use on handguns, it also can be used on rifles, carbines, and shotguns.
MSRP: $660

XS DXT2 Big Dot
XS Sights is famous for pairing a big dot front sight with a V-notch rear sight, and the setup is extremely fast to use. Just announced is a night-sight version of the company’s Big Dot sights that features a large orange or yellow photoluminescent “glow” front-sight dot with a tritium center. The large dot absorbs light and glows for hours in low-light conditions that are not dark enough for the tritium to shine, and in darker conditions, the tritium center glows. The rear sight has a vertical white stripe with a tritium vial at the center.
The new DXT2 Big Dot night sights are offered for Glock; Smith & Wesson M&P full size/compact and Shield; SIG P320, P226, and P229; Springfield XD; and FN 509 pistols. Company sources say these sights should be available for Model 1911 pistols sometime in 2019.
