The ACRO is my first choice-FOR ME. Every sight has pluses and minuses. The minus for the ACRO is its battery life, as discussed in this forum. I am an enthusiast, and have a monthly battery change scheduled. Other than that, I am very pleased with it. With any “red dot” the mounting is critical, and must be monitored.
I have over a year and a half with the ACRO, have shot it in competition, “qualified” on numerous evals with it, and taken courses with it. One must initially put in some work(with any red dot), but IMO it’s worth it.
What Safariland ALS RDS holster models are you guys using with the ACRO? Will the RMR or SRO models fit? We all know how user friendly the Safariland website is .
Thanks
So is anyone running the ACRO right now? What is your setup and what is your opinion?
Not much to it. It's an Aimpoint on a pistol. Only downside is the shorter battery life, which is easily made up by how easy it is to swap; as I've argued before, I'd much rather change my ACRO battery every 2 weeks (pre-emptively) than change my RMR battery every 6 months, as with the RMR I am OCD enough that I always verify zero after it, which means wasting time, gas, and ammo to go to the range (not an issue if you trust your torque specs or witness marks enough). I find it a superior experience to my RMRs, and have the peace of mind knowing it's a sealed optic.
the RMR battery that came with my optic when it was delivered in October is still going strong, FWIW.
