Aimpoint® ACRO Series: Revolutionizing Pistol Red Dot Optics
The Aimpoint® ACRO series of sights are built to stand up to the extreme abuse of a semi-automatic pistol slide. The demanding needs of professional end users are factored into the design, including the mounting solution. The sights feature an enclosed optical channel and LED emitter – keeping the optic fully protected from the elements. The ACRO (Advanced Compact Reflex Optic) sights are tested to withstand the intense G-force shock, vibration, temperature changes, and material stress generated by firing over 20,000 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition.
The ACRO series enclosed design incorporates 3 dimensional cues that assists the shooter in properly aligning the handgun in the direction of the target. This results in the red dot appearing on target with significantly less effort to the user. In addition to their primary intended use as a handgun optic, ACRO sights can be mounted on carbines, shotguns and rifles or utilized as backup sights on magnified scopes and thermal imagers. They can be mounted on a wide range of optics-ready handguns using adapter plates sold separately. Aimpoint pioneered ACET (Advanced Circuit Efficiency Technology) diode circuitry which dramatically decreases battery consumption – prolonging battery life substantially. The Acro P-2 has an astonishing constant-on run time of 5 years with a single CR2032 battery, while the Acro P-1 has a constant-on time of 2 years with the smaller CR1225 battery. Both models are night vision compatible or can be used in ultra-bright sunlight.
Aimpoint red dot sights are operationally parallax-free, which means the visible dot remains parallel to the bore of your weapon no matter what angle your eye is in relation to the sight. Therefore, the user never has to worry about centering the dot inside the sight. When the sight and firearm are properly zeroed, when the dot is on the target, so are you. Aimpoint optics increase confidence by allowing the shooter to focus on the target while keeping both eyes open, fully situationally aware at all times. Users can achieve first round hits faster with greater confidence.
Aimpoint sights are subjected to brutal testing, including exposure to extreme heat, cold, physical abuse, and submersion under water. From arctic temperatures to desert sand, the ruggedness of Aimpoint red dot sights stand up to any challenge. Aimpoint red dot sights are trusted by hunters, sport shooters, military, and law enforcement officers around the world. Over 2 million sights have been supplied to the United States military since 1997. Today, Aimpoint is recognized globally as the most rugged, reliable, and efficient electronic sighting system in the world. When your life depends on your equipment, don’t settle for anything less.
