I've been telling everyone I know about this channel, the fact that you put this caliber of information on youtube for free is mind blowing. Keep teaching and I'll continue to watch and learn @SageDynamics Thanks again!
Hahahaha, Love your intro's on your videos👍 I think you are definitely "THE" most exhaustive instructors on UA-cam!!! Thanks for all your hard work Aaron! I learn a lot from your videos😊
Thanks for addressing the battery, and great job presenting the issues/concerns about battery life. For me, $20-$40 a year for Renata CR1225 batteries to change weekly or bi-weekly isn't a deal breaker for a hard-use, closed emitter optic to put on a duty gun. Not sure its worth it for a concealed carry piece.
I actually think a closed emitter is better for a EDCCW. I carry my pistol almost everywhere doing almost everything. The closed emitter is a big advantage for sweat, muck, water, etc. EDC is as much about program compliance as it is the equipment. If I take my sidearm off because I might muck up the optic, it’s as good as useless. The 509 was my choice specifically because of the battery life, even before the price difference right now. The only drawback is the proprietary cut, which adds milling costs if you want it to “sit pretty.”
I agree I just purchased a P1 should have it tomorrow but for me I calculated around 44 $ a year for batteries that allows me 2 batteries a month That is not a big deal at all especially when there’s no re zeroing To change the battery the battery is on the side of the optic you change it you screw the cap back on and you keep it moving
@@thomasgibbs3656 ive had mine since beginning of december, so about 2 months, and still have the battery it came with in it. granted, im a night owl so my acro stays at setting 6 or 7 most of the time, but i had it running for about a week at setting 8 now and still going strong on top of the other month and a half of 6-7
Yeah, $40 a year for batteries, that doesn't seem like a big deal for a closed emitter. The P2 has dropped at this point, but they're so hard to find so the P1 it is then. I could go with the 509 by Holosun but they're having issues with glass falling out and wonky dots. And it's Chinese. So there's that.
When the front glass started falling out of the device at around 1:14 into the video, I was impressed to see Aaron still shooting, so I'm guessing that the dot was still working! Wow! Great, thorough product review, sir. Thank you.
Yeah, that's just the outer glass. I don't have one, but I am pretty sure it's built like this. Imagine a regular red dot like a T1 then take a slightly bigger T1 body and put it on top of the original red dot. I don't know if that makes any sense or not
That front glass is an extra piece of glass in front of the piece of glass used to reflect the dot. (There are 2 pieces of glass in front) Basically take something like an RMR and put a box around it with an extra piece of glass in front and a piece of glass in the back)
Just ordered the very similar HOLOSUN 509T RD for my RUGER 57. ->titanium housing ->solar screen for battery augmentation ->3 reticle options: 2 MOA dot, 2 MOA dot inside 32 MOA circle, 32 MOA circle only ->side battery tray ->optional "shake awake" on switch mode ->about $200.lower price than ACRO Hopefully the HOLOSUN 509T RD will be just as reliable as the ACRO. I'm very happy to see another fully enclosed red dot (from a well known company) to compete with the ACRO, especially for a lower price! The RUGER 57 uses the very flat shooting NATO sub gun 5.7 x 28 cartridge and the circle dot reticle permits using the circle and outer "tabs" for much longer range shooting of which this cartridge in this pistol is capable. Field sighting in these parts of the reticle is mandatory to know at what distance they zero. i.e. dot zeroed at 10 yards, 6 o'clock inside edge of the circle at 75 yards (for ex.) and bottom of the 6 o'clock outer tab at 100 yards (again, for ex.) This pistol/cartridge combo is very capable of a long "stand-off" distance. A circle reticle will assist in this.
Just bought a B&T apc9 k pro and opted for the MRO instead of this based on battery life. The Acro looks great on the apc9 but in my scenario I can't justify the battery life. I want to use the apc9 for home defense and the MRO allows me to put it on the weapon and not worry about the battery going dead. I also don't want to worry about turning the optic on or off, etc. Great review!
@@EdwardZhou_TJOL56 I see what you mean. No, you can't just take your RMR off and slap an ACRO on but you certainly can get a fairly inexpensive adapter plate
The ACRO looks like it has some potential. Maybe in a Gen 2 or 3 model they will get that legendary Aimpoint Batt life . I was thinking about getting ACRO C1 . Not too much anymore . Love your content . You've saved me quite a few $$$ and I trust what you say ..
I’ve had this optic for several months. I keep my brightness on settings 8-9, sometimes 7 at night, sometimes 10 on a super bright day. I change the battery every 2 months or so. I knew that I would use the battery up on the high settings, but I was surprised. I still love the optic and the batteries are super cheap. Edit: 13:27 THIS, it lets you know when it’s time for a new battery. It doesn’t just die.
Emmanuel Goldstein It’s the same as the most popular RMR06. I don’t change the settings unless I have to, say if I go into a movie theater on a bright sunny day. Then I just hit the down button once. It’s easy and WAY better than “auto brightness” red dots, which don’t let me choose the brightness.
ACRO is an awesome options I was on the fence between an RMR, HS 509T and the ACRO. Battery life aside the ACRO wins out on overall build quality, easy of use and expected longevity of the optic through its R&D and QC processes.
Absolutely sold on the performance of the ACRO over RMR. I have an astigmatism and the less blue tint is huge, like looking thru a T2, also sits lower in a milled slide and taller window is faster/easy to keep the dot in the window. RMR is great especially for EDC, but for competition and "tactical" use ACRO all day.
Matthew Wurster - not specifically directed at you, but I’d like to take the opportunity to make a point.. how many of “us” have multiple, multiple firearms and optics and accessories... and yet don’t spend money on high quality training. I myself have been downsizing to do just that. I’m sure that’s a lesson we will all benefit from. 👊🏼 🇺🇸
I've had an RMR on a glock 19 for 3 years now with it on 24x7x365 and its still going, haven't had to change it yet. My edc has a RMR and it's been just over a year being on auto and never turned off, about time to change it since it's my edc... I don't see me switching from the RMR any time soon
Very GOOD VIDEO!! But I am sticking with my Trijicon and holosun. For EDC, based off of your previous recommendation. But I would like to see you run a sig . And get your opinion on the new sig P320 X compact.
@@davidwarren719 the vast majority of disposable batteries have load dependent capacity. From datasheets i've found CR1225 used in ACRO have nominal 48mAh and typical CR2032 have 235mAh. Typical AA battery have about 2500-3000mAh, but half a voltage so roughly 1250-1500mAh comparing to lithium coins. That's why ACRO have shorter operating time. Bigger dot also may cause this, because you need more light
Great vid. If you had to choose only one optic for Concealed carry which one would you pick. I am debating on putting an optic on my Wilson EDC X9 and curious which optics would be best for CCW. Thanks!
From what it sounds like, especially based on battery, this optic would be most ideal for a duty or hunting application. Conversely, something with better battery that won't take as much abuse would be well suited for conceal carry. So, ACRO for my Glock 40 and something else for my Glock 17.
Thanks so much for the valuable insights, Aaron. I noticed that you didn't talk a lot about the parallax of those handgun optics. Is that not sth important to you or to any shooters?
I don’t like everything he says all the time but fuck if it’s not some amazing information. Glad I got warned about the batter thing I hate surprises. Full on gear checks everyday though so it’s a green light! Thanks so much man appreciate it!
I have a P1 on the way because I didn't feel like waiting nearly a year for the P2 simply because of battery life. I'll just stock up on the batteries and change when needed. Your tests along with Vickers torture test helped me with my decision to go ahead and get the P1.
@@chiemeka2009 I just got my P1 and I think I got an "updated" version. I could care less about battery life as I just stock up on them and change as needed. The ONLY thing the P2 has over the P1 is battery life.
First i used rmr on my service Glock, then I changed to acro, today i use rmr , ACRO battery life is very bad and auto brightness is not present, acro is good maybe for sports for me, no for duty, in the morning use level 7, at 12 use level 9, at 19 use level 7, in the night use level 6 , spend the day to adjust for my environmental conditions, rmr is ready to fight in all conditions, but, if aimpoint resolves both problems with acro gen 2, I come back with acre, even if not as instinctive as rmr, on acro you have to work harder to have the fluidity you have with rmr, sorry for my english and thank for your work
Love my Acro C-2 and the dot on level 6 is good and bright using it in a indoor range. Is the p-2 ( or C-2 ) hard to get in the states? i live in Europe and they are in stock here.
I really wanted to get this optic- but battery is a deal braker. I'd rather add a larger, slightly sticking out CR2032 cap on the side than limit battery life so much.
With the somewhat recent addition of the 509T, along with the much lower price point it seems to me like the ACRO may be on the back burner for people who can get over the word “holosun” instead of Aimpoint.
Has anyone experienced any thermal shift on this? I experienced a very freakish zero shift on my ACRO. Host gun was Glock 19 MOS Gen5. I zeroed at 25 yards like I always do. The following week, I shot an IDPA match with no issues. However, when I did some accuracy work after that, the zero shifted at 25 yards. It was printing roughly 1.5” high. I must note that I zeroed at an indoor range, and shot the match and practiced afterward in 90 degree weather outside. Also, I checked the mount and optic. Did not come loose. Has anyone else experienced this with the ACRO before? I didn’t experience it with RMR or DP Pro. That being said, I like my ACRO the best. Just thought the sudden zero shift was very troublesome. Also, the gun does get banged around a good bit as it is my daily carry.
I personally always download to 28 rounds. I took a Larry Vickers Advanced Carbine class and he said about half of all AR malfunctions can be eliminated with a wet bolt and downloaded mags.
I've had an ACRO for a few months now. I run Comp M5's on my AR's and trust Aimpoint over all others. Have around 2500 rounds with it, no issues. Adjustments are fine. 1.5 years of battery life is plenty but since it's a goofy battery I bought a 20 pack.. Still looks a bit clunky but don't notice it while running the G17. I much prefer the robust mounting system over an RMR. I really like the ACRO but recently needed another optic.....and I bought another Type 2 RMR rm06.
D Y I only get 1-2 months out of a battery, not 1.5 years. Setting 5-7 are not very useable. I keep it on 8 or 9 typically. If you’re carrying it everyday you won’t get more than a few months on a battery.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor Interesting. Well, I haven't kept perfect track of it but thinking I was around setting 6 for 3-4 months with the first battery.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor 6 or 7 not good for all hours of the day, I tell you that when I needed my 17 with acro to keep the threat under control, level 7, the point was not visible because too much sun, with rmr never happened,
Damn, I really wanted an acro... 3 weeks is a joke tho. RMR for the win. Any specs on Aimpoint Nano? I know a US dealer with some but can't find any damn specs!
Paul Lo Cicero lol to say that “they’re not that different” and that “they’re the same optic” are two very different things. The ACRO and Nano use completely different housings and are made for different purposes. Check yourself before posting your opinions as facts. Christopher Grillo, while the ACRO was designed specifically to be slide-mounted, Aimpoint specifically states that the Nano is meant to be mounted as a stationary optic. It was made originally for the B&T USW series of pistols where the optic is mounted to the frame. You can find the specs here: www.bt-ag.ch/shop/eng/zielgeratezielfernrohre/aimpoint-sight-nano-black-with-22-mm-qd-moun-ap-200371-1-bt.pdf
What are your thoughts on using it on a 35-45 degree offset on a rifle with a magnified optic? Am I the only one who thought I'll just keep the RMR on my pistol but the enclosed emitter could be a game changer for secondary/close up rifle optic? I feel the open emitter is more vulnerable on a rifle?
My ACRO has been on my Ultimak AK rail for roughly 14,000 rounds and it hasn’t been smoked by heat like the RMR was...I have an RMR on my glock and I haven’t killed it with heat but it couldn’t hold up to the heat of the AK. I like the ACRO, it has a full cowitness with my irons.
I'll give Aimpoint a year to work out any kinks, and then I'll sell my RMRs. We put up with intermittent power on RMRs for years until Trijicon fixed it with the Type 2, so I don't have much loyalty to Trij.

According to Aimpoint if your battery wears in 3 weeks with mid-settings you are eligible for warranty replacement. Contact them.
A non related question how many rounds do you typically get out of your Glock before they break thanks
Did you find the form factor of the ACRO was less conducive to concealed carry use?
TheHumbleMarksman nope. Addressed that in the first video.
As a florida LEO as soon as I can switch to an RDO, the acro or the 509t is what im going with

Do you shut it down when not in use? What type of use. My RMR is in 24/7 366 as it’s both a service and a defense arm.

Yep waiting for this review also. I’ve had the P2 for around 10 months not and it doesn’t disappoint… it’s the ACRO we’ve been waiting for.
Can you do a video on the holosun 509T when it drops? It is essentially an Acro that fits on an RMR footprint and has a supposedly long battery life
So basically I’ll change this battery as much as my eotech. Welp nothing new changing battery’s.
Aimpoint needs to write this man a big fat commission check for all the ACRO sights that this video sold.

Would be sweet on off set mount for AR
damn - that's impressive...
Hey great vid, any chance you’ll try the p2?
Have you had a chance to get your hands on the updated version P-2??
Has anyone experienced any thermal shift on this? I experienced a very freakish zero shift on my ACRO. Host gun was Glock 19 MOS Gen5. I zeroed at 25 yards like I always do. The following week, I shot an IDPA match with no issues. However, when I did some accuracy work after that, the zero shifted at 25 yards. It was printing roughly 1.5” high. I must note that I zeroed at an indoor range, and shot the match and practiced afterward in 90 degree weather outside. Also, I checked the mount and optic. Did not come loose. Has anyone else experienced this with the ACRO before? I didn’t experience it with RMR or DP Pro. That being said, I like my ACRO the best. Just thought the sudden zero shift was very troublesome. Also, the gun does get banged around a good bit as it is my daily carry.
What are your thoughts on downloading AR magazines for easier insertion on a closed bolt?
Try it and see for yourself
I personally always download to 28 rounds. I took a Larry Vickers Advanced Carbine class and he said about half of all AR malfunctions can be eliminated with a wet bolt and downloaded mags.
Everyone else: Pap pap pap.
Aaron Cowan: BURRRTTTTT BUUUUUURRRRRTTTTTT UUUURRRRRRRTTTTT.
How long does the battery last if you turn it off after a 10 hour shift?
I've had an ACRO for a few months now. I run Comp M5's on my AR's and trust Aimpoint over all others. Have around 2500 rounds with it, no issues. Adjustments are fine. 1.5 years of battery life is plenty but since it's a goofy battery I bought a 20 pack.. Still looks a bit clunky but don't notice it while running the G17. I much prefer the robust mounting system over an RMR. I really like the ACRO but recently needed another optic.....and I bought another Type 2 RMR rm06.
D Y I only get 1-2 months out of a battery, not 1.5 years. Setting 5-7 are not very useable. I keep it on 8 or 9 typically. If you’re carrying it everyday you won’t get more than a few months on a battery.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor Interesting. Well, I haven't kept perfect track of it but thinking I was around setting 6 for 3-4 months with the first battery.
D Y 👍 Setting 6 or 7 will get you a year of battery. I think Aimpoint said setting 7 for over a year.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor
two weeks, then go down at 8 or 9
@@Libertarian_Neighbor 6 or 7 not good for all hours of the day, I tell you that when I needed my 17 with acro to keep the threat under control, level 7, the point was not visible because too much sun, with rmr never happened,
Is the agency m&p still your main carry pistola?
I would love to see a video on how many rounds a year you shoot.
I am here a year later and with this amount of ammo, this dude would be a millionaire with this amount of ammo in todays world.
10,000 rounds of 9mm x $1/round=MiLlIoNaIrE 🤔
What red dot you use on your personal pistol?
I feel like red dot companies fear this man lol
@Nova Abraham just reported you
Damn, I really wanted an acro... 3 weeks is a joke tho. RMR for the win.
Any specs on Aimpoint Nano? I know a US dealer with some but can't find any damn specs!
@Paul Lo Cicero it's definitely not the same optic. I have one.
Paul Lo Cicero lol to say that “they’re not that different” and that “they’re the same optic” are two very different things. The ACRO and Nano use completely different housings and are made for different purposes. Check yourself before posting your opinions as facts.
Christopher Grillo, while the ACRO was designed specifically to be slide-mounted, Aimpoint specifically states that the Nano is meant to be mounted as a stationary optic. It was made originally for the B&T USW series of pistols where the optic is mounted to the frame. You can find the specs here:

@Paul Lo Cicero you don't know what your talking about do you?
AOS vs the FN 509 mounting system?
We all know that "optic B" is the RMR.
Optic B will become the ACRO P2. When everyone else can get there hands on one at least. It seem I’m the only one that has this Unicorn 🦄
What are your thoughts on using it on a 35-45 degree offset on a rifle with a magnified optic? Am I the only one who thought I'll just keep the RMR on my pistol but the enclosed emitter could be a game changer for secondary/close up rifle optic? I feel the open emitter is more vulnerable on a rifle?
Blake Heller at the price, just go with a Micro.
Any battery improvements on the p2c?
But is the battery life good?
And is this for duty use?
;-p
My ACRO has been on my Ultimak AK rail for roughly 14,000 rounds and it hasn’t been smoked by heat like the RMR was...I have an RMR on my glock and I haven’t killed it with heat but it couldn’t hold up to the heat of the AK. I like the ACRO, it has a full cowitness with my irons.
I'll give Aimpoint a year to work out any kinks, and then I'll sell my RMRs. We put up with intermittent power on RMRs for years until Trijicon fixed it with the Type 2, so I don't have much loyalty to Trij.
