Not sure if we mentioned here, but another contender to the Aimpoint ACRO P2 would be the Steiner MPS. I'm probably looking into that for my next optic ready handgun purchase.
I looked into the MPS.  It was available on EuroOptic, at least a few weeks back.  I have an Acro P2 on order.

What gun?

Have a 3 or 4 in mind, but still trying to do more research.

I think last I heard, pre-orders for the ACRO P2 were around 6 months. MPS is cheaper and readily available. Also trying to be more open about newer products and trying them out.

Open to “Chinesium”?

My order is through a connection. Hopefully they can come through. Promise was 3 months when I put on my order. So by end of year. Will see.

EPS Carry is working pretty well for me.

Me too so far on my 43x.  At about 300 rounds in and really liking it.  Looking to get a regular EPS for a future gun.

The 509T seems to be popular, but I like the lower profile and mounting of the EPS.

Yes. I have one. It works fine. As you know the window is tiny. But with the correct grip and follow through, the dot return to view is quick. If dot goes down, the tube acts as a ghost ring sight and is acceptable to use. It also has some aiming type dots on the side for BU

Might not be as good for unconventional shooting positions because of the tiny window area.

It is easier to get used to shooting with the dot as the sight is as low as irons. If you are used to acquiring the irons quickly, the dot is naturally in that line of sight.

The strange shape and battery compartment looks off, but so does a huge unit bolted to the top of the slide.
Battery cover/button needs to be unscrewed to remove the slide for cleaning.  Not a huge deal. Easy to change the battery and it will not lose zero.

It fit in all my holsters without modifying anything. The extra length it adds to the slide might make it uncomfortable for carry depending on carry position. Also the extra length might make concealment more difficult.

When China invades, they will remotely power off all Holosun RDS.  And have a list where the items were shipped to. #noteveryingistinfoil

If anyone is looking for an Aimpoint ACRO P2, Boresight Solutions has them on pre-order.  They got notified by Aimpoint that their next shipment is on the way with ETA in 5-7 business days.  So hit them up ASAP if you want a chance at one.

Battery died on my EPS Carry last night.  Was doing some dry fire while watching TV and noticed the dot was dim.  Went to adjust, and gone/out.  Picked up batteries today, so will log when it started with a fresh one.  The generic one that came with could not have been more than 2,000 hours. . .

China does not need to invade.

They will just stop battery exports and watch the fun begin.

Anyways, back to topic.

Shot a Staccato XC with an EPS. Damn that’s an excellent combination and a super flat shooting gun. Not sure if I’d drop the asking price for a Staccato XC, but it’s a damn great shooting pistol.

I had been shooting my 43x with EPS Carry with the laser stippled frame. Really like the laser stippling. The EPS “regular” size is noticeably larger than the carry. When I am able to get one, I’ll put one on a 17 Gen 5.
