FirstSpear Range Day 19 – Aimpoint ACRO P-1 Optic

January 21st, 2019

Today was my first chance to shoot with the Aimpoint ACRO P-1 red dot sight for pistols. ACRO stands for Advanced Compact Reflex Optic. Product testing included shock, vibration, temperature span and other environmental stress including 20,000 rounds mounted to a .40 pistol slide.

I found the 3.5 MOA dot easy to acquire and intensity is adjustable via the side mounted buttons. Expect a year’s life from the CR1225.
