I wanted a compact holographic sight that would fit on my AR57 upper; this one provides in the limited space without getting in the way the magazine. I would also recommend going with only a single dot.

I use this on a rifle length ar for fast target acquisition. Much faster than Aimpoint. Both eyes open. Easy to install and remove. It maintains zero even if you pull it off and put it back on. Lower 1/3 co-witness. Leaves more rail space—visible day or night. Where the small red dot goes, that is where the bullet goes. Clean it with water, and it still works. The placement of the controls on the side makes it easier to adjust if you plan to use a G33 magnifier or NVG. The batteries don't last long as Aimpointbut is still a great product.

In the 12 year's I have been shooting ARs, I have found everything eotech to be absolutely perfect for beginning shooters. Along side with iron sights, red dots make learning the rifles capabilities at close quarter combat, and slight long range easy to handle. As I have progressed in shooting, my next set up will be and lpvo at 12 oclock with a canted redot. The eotech is hard to kill though. Mine has seen rain, heat, snow and 10 degree weather in February. They hold a zero and perform. Buy once, and cry once, fix NEVER. Socom has picked this sight for cqb, and has been proven in the field and is probably right up their with the number of people put in the ground by say an acog. Don't be that person that builds a nice build, and then goes cheap on an optic, I trust this enough to go in to 10 feet of water and cross a pond and come out shooting without a single hiccup or malfunction...

Great sight. Quick release is fantastic. I can trade this out with my scope on a quick-release mount as well. The best of both worlds that way. Quick on target. If you are considering one, buy it. You'll like it!

Like most Americans, I have an AR, and on my rifle, I have an EOTech. I have used other optical sights, and they do work. But the way the radical is set up in the EOTech works better for me. There are many discussions over battery life and the auto-off function; because I know these things could cause a potential problem, I plan accordingly, and it has never been an issue. The new, more compact design is a win, in my opinion, and only having to change one cr123 battery is also a clear improvement in my opinion. The ability to brighten the object to your relative light conditions it is also outstanding as it is with some other illuminated sight. When looking directly at the radical image, it does seem a bit fuzzy, but it clears up as soon as you look past it to your target. The night vision setting is also very nice on this sight, but I don't use it very much. I also run a six-power magnifier with this site for extended ranges, and it works exceedingly well. The bottom line is you should not buy a sight based on a review or the claim that you can leave it on for ten years. This review should serve as a recommendation for a product that is worth looking at in person. By the site that will work best for you, if you can't afford it, save your money. Happy shooting

I've tried all the cheap red dots. They all have a tint on the glass which makes the image darker & unacceptable for twilight hunting. The Eotech has no tint on the glass & the dot shows up great all the time. & having the NVD mode is an added plus. The only downside is that it is a pricey optic.

Great sight. The quick release is fantastic. I can trade this out with my scope on a quick release mount as well. The best of both worlds that way. Quick on target. If you are considering one, buy it. You'll like it!

The reticle was barely visible in normal mode but seemed to be fine in night vision mode. Had to ship it to EOTech upon arrival.

The EXPS3-4 came with the Picatinny QD mount and it fit flawlessly with my Aeroknox Upper Receiver. The Holo operated great on my first range day with it. Love the hard case it came with. Looking forward to get the G34 soon with it. When I purchased the Holo, it said backordered and I was fine with waiting it out. Surprisingly got an email from MSP within a few days and notified my that the sight was enroute.

Living in South Texas, I purchased this unit mainly for home defense and close encounters (hogs and other predators) when/if needed. I mounted it on a 5.56 AR and zeroed it in at 25 yards using 77-grain match grade ammunition. Adjustments are easily made during zero, and the three shots groups could be covered with a quarter - where the red dot is, there goes the bullet. The unit is compact, not taking up a lot of rail space, and with the QD, I can quickly go to iron sights or mount my extended scope in a matter of seconds.

Great works as advertised, and liked it so well I'm going to buy another one. I also purchased the magnifier and like it very well too. You shouldn't hesitate to buy one, especially if you own an AR-15. Buy it; you'll like it.

I purchased several brands of gunsights to test-head to head- for members of our department. The EOTech EXPS3-0 was hands down the favorite of all the officers that participated in our process. It was vastly superior using NV equipment since there was no tube effect blocking peripheral vision. Very natural, open eyes, easy to find target acquisition. Easy five stars for me.
