GJM, tell me you’ve been beta-testing!

Following with intense interest.
I want to see it on a 1911
Oh man. Shit just got real. Looks a little funny but I bet that housing design makes her pretty durable.

“Tested with a minimum of 20,000 rounds on a .40 cal pistol slide, this small optic has proven to lead in ruggedness and reliability in its category.”
The wave of the future begins.
Now if H&K would just release their optics ready VP9 I'd consider jumping into the "MRDS on a pistol" fray with both feet.
Aimpoint and Trijicon are the only two companies I trust to eventually crack the MRDS durability nut, and so far Trijicon is close but not quite there (the dual illuminated is there as far as durability but 24/7 usability is poor compared to a dot).
I bet the ACRO P-2 will be GTG.
:cool:
If is a closed emitter, as I believe, that is a game changer for all weather defensive use.
Strangely, the links to AP's product page stopped working for me within last two minutes. Before that happened, I glanced on physical specs and I think it was 30 mm tall and wide. Tom's link says this is a tweaked version of a Nano and these dimensions seem to be similar to what I remember of Nano. If I recall correctly, Nano is larger than RMR but has a smaller optical window, hence, I am going to wait to become excited.
Do you have to remove the unit to change the battery?
This may just be what many of us have been waiting for.
Tagging on to this thread.
I'm waiting for ATEI to finish my G17 slide and RMR as I type this. The information gained here regarding RDS on pistols has been invaluable (you are all enablers, but I appreciate it :)).
Maybe this Aimpoint sight will go on my next conversion.
Interesting that it takes the CR1225 battery as the battery is smaller in both diameter and height. That explains the lower battery life, but the ability to change batteries without sight removal more than negates the smaller battery capacity.
Well it’s time to get a 19x for a host if this Aimpoint pans out.
Agreed — the analysis is more complicated than window size.
First question is EDC or gaming. For gaming, a large window is desirable. For EDC, the sealed emitter, durability, battery life, ability to change a battery without removing the unit, dot controls (manual vs auto, time out function, ease of changing intensity), shape of display, clearness of display, and ability to use BUIS are all factors that determine overall usefulness.

Here’s a picture that will probably cost me money.
It makes perfect sense that this news would drop today. Last year the RMR Type 2 dropped the day after I mounted my RMR Type 1. I ended up selling that one off to go back to irons but really missed it and just got my RMR Type 2 in the mail yesterday. I probably should have told you guys this was coming. My bad.
That said, while it does look like it will offer some benefits over the RMR, I think the size (specifically the extra .8" of height) would cause concealment issues for me. For duty or gaming use it seems like a great new option.
I am going to be all over this.

Any idea how much they'll cost?
I’m guessing the above pic is a photoshop. If that’s actually to scale then it’s too big for me to conceal.
Looks like a great option to run atop a shotgun, though.
Typical PF thread, some folks think the new product is too big, others think it is too small, and still others question whether the product picture is real.
Looks bulky based on the one pic I've seen so far. Won't get too excited until I see some high round counts and positive reviews

I'll wait for the initial bugs to get worked out by the ignorant, destructive masses and look into buying version 2 next year.

Typical forum thread.
