A couple of things. Endo-Mike at Everydaynodaysoff gets my hat tip for finding this vid....check him out for fun gun stuff...next Larry is back in the gym...I'm happy to see that. He looks good after dropping pounds, I hope he keeps it up. Next is HK. Great gun makers, lousy marketers.
Last. Why is Aimpoint beating EOTech when it comes to small optics? The EOTech is easier to gain a sight picture with, has better battery life and has a strangle hold on the military optics market.
I keep coming back to style over substance...and thats a shame. The EOTech is the better piece of gear but I guess the CHE is showing its power (Costa-Haley Effect)....If Costa and Haley run it on their guns then the whole gun community turns into a bunch of giggling school girls and follows the popular kids.
EoTech has dropped the ball on reliability and battery life. Aimpoint Micro advertises a 50,000 hr battery life, while the XPS advertises 600 hrs. I have sent all of my Eotech's back for warranty service, battery box, full internals, ect. Last but not least the automatic shut down on the EoTech is the worst idea ever. Let me control the power, and if I cant remember to turn it off, then I shouldnt be carrying one. All this being said, the performance of the Eotech keeps me using it over the Aimpoint. When EOTech fixes the reliability issues, and the automatic shut off, I will never look back. I would gladly change batteries once a week than deal with Aimpoints.
