Aimpoint® and Pat   


Pat McNamara has used and trusted Aimpoint sights and magnifiers on both his professional and personal defense weapons for years, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“As many of you know, I am a stickler when it comes to optics. I don’t want gimmicks, gizmos, or gadgets. I want what works every time. I want what is reliable and durable. I want what is time tested by the best and most credible shooters on the planet. That’s why I use Aimpoint Optics.”
