It’s Official! Aimpoint Launches New ACRO Series Sight
June 13th, 2018
Malmö, Sweden – June 2018 – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in red dot sighting technology, is proud to introduce their new line of red dot sights, the Aimpoint® ACRO™ (Advanced Compact Reflex Optic) Series. The unique small sight design of the Aimpoint® ACRO series electronic red-dot sight was developed for use on pistols and other weapon platforms.
For many years, end users have requested a small enclosed red dot sight to fit on handguns. Utilizing Aimpoint’s advanced sight technology, Aimpoint is proud to launch the first of its kind to the market. The Acro P-1, offers an enclosed system that is much more durable than those with open systems. It is also the only sight in its size category fully tested for shock, vibration, temperature span and other environmental stress.
The Acro P-1 optic can perform under tough conditions while adding negligible size and weight to the equipment. Tested with a minimum of 20,000 rounds on a .40 cal pistol slide, this small optic has proven itself in its size category as the leader in ruggedness and reliability.
Designed for direct integration onto pistol slides, the Aimpoint Acro P-1 sight can also be used as a backup sight for magnifying scopes, personal defense weapons, and on any system where a small red dot is applicable.
The Acro P-1 sight is a 1X (non-magnifying) parallax-free optic that features a 3.5 minute of angle (MOA) red dot for fast target acquisition. It is fully submersible to 25 meters and allows continuous operation for over 1 year on a single CR1225 battery. Dot intensity is adjusted with side push buttons.
“The development of the Acro P-1 sight sets a new standard for compact pistol mounted reflex optics,” said Aimpoint AB President Lennart Ljungfelt. “The commitment we make to our customers is to develop the highest performing red-dot sights available. The Acro P-1 optic fulfills that commitment by providing the lightest and most rugged enclosed red-dot sight in its size category on the market.”

Since my retirement, Quantico Tactical has operated its retail storefront, web sales and government operations as one company – Quantico Tactical.
After fourteen years, I have come to the conclusion that we can better serve all of our customers by having two companies – one focused solely on the retail and web functions and a second specializing only on government sales and logistics.
Retail Stores & Web Sales are now Proven Arms & Outfitters.
Proven Arms & Outfitters will start out with the same excellent selection of weapons and gear we currently offer and will expand into new categories over time.
Quantico Tactical will now focus solely on sales and logistics to military, federal agencies, state/local law enforcement agencies and private security. We will maintain our same team and continue to provide exceptional customer service, value and on-time delivery.
To all of our customers, I want to take this time to thank you for your business through the years. Whether a retail or government customer, you can Count On More.

High Angle Solution – Brigantes Presents – Silva Expedition 5 Operators Compass
June 13th, 2018Silva is the company that you go to for your way finding solutions when in the military. Following feedback from the Royal Marines the standard compass has been updated to better fit the needs of the user.
The base plate has been thickened and the bezel housing sealed to greatly increase robustness and therefore life span. It still has all the great functionality of its predecessor but with a list of additional features.
The bezel has improved grip allowing it to be much easier to use with gloves. In addition, it now has variable declination and an inclinometer making it much more usable around the globe and in mountainous regions. The back of the bezel also has a full degree scale giving it full functionality. As can be seen in the image it comes with a distance measuring lanyard for 1:25 and 1:50 scales.
The expedition 5 comes in northern and southern hemisphere varieties as well as with a brand new global needle option making it the absolute ideal choice for expeditionary forces who don’t know where they might be one week to the next.
