Assessing battery placement and size is never easy with micro dot sights as there is next to no space to play with for internals. The factors to put into play are: Overall battery life / profile size / ease of accessibility. For a micro dot like our Sentinel II, intended for serious defensive and EDC use, we made the decision to go for the bottom loaded to fit a larger 2032 battery for maximized battery life as well as maintaining the lowest and slimmest profile possible for concealability and co witness capabilities. We understand taking a few minutes at the range every year or so to change the battery and ensure you are still holding zero can be a pain, but keeping the battery life extended was our top priority for this specific product.
Man thats a shame. Love your optics but bottom load is not the answer. Having to rezero every time is a huge negative. Youll sell them for sure. People need to know the hassle of rezero every 50,000 hours. And most shooters will do it in significantly less hours to avoid any chance of dead bat.
I understand but personally I’m changing out my batteries way before I get even close to the battery life ending. Therefore I’d rather have a smaller 1632 that I can change without losing my zero. Therefore unfortunately I’ll continue to use competitors for this application. That being said your rmr style optics with a top loading battery are phenomenal and I’ll continue to be a customer there. I think a lot of people share my opinion but maybe people don’t. Either way I hope in the future you design an optic in this same format that is not bottom loading.
Also for me re zeroing is a pain but potentially stripping screws when taking the optic on and off is more of a concern for me.
Stating your guys thought process means a lot! Makes sense to me, and stocking 2032s makes it simpler too. A slight inconvenience that's overcome w a minute at the range is absolutely worth a performance jump.
From someone who has owned multiple Swampfox optics and likes the quality and pricing, it needs two things to be truly competitive: side/top loading battery, and an optional framing reticle (circle/cross/whatever) for those people that want, or need because some of our eyes are worn out, a larger focal point.
🙌🏻🎯
If I buy another optic, I'm going to have to open up my own store. I almost lost my mind, I thought they got Morgan Freeman to narrate this mug.
The wish.com version for sure
I appreciate the blacked out look
That's awesome. Looking forward to a updated Justice, hopefully...
That's a glimpse into a new portion on amazement! It's a must have!
Nice concept,only problem is bottom load battery.
I get that…sort of a pain. I feel like I should be removing, inspecting, reinstalling, and rezeroing after the time it takes to kill a battery anyway. Especially on a weapon I carry everyday…which for me makes it a mute point. Just my opinion.
The bottom loading battery was to keep the profile of the optic slim, and maximize the battery life.
@@SwampfoxOptics where the battery loads has nothing to do with "maximizing battery life". If you were switching to a 2032 to get more battery power, maybe, but otherwise, please stop the sales-speak that means nothing.
@@DarrylHadfield It uses a 2032 battery.
@@SwampfoxOpticsThen it's not "maximizing battery life" - it's "adding battery life by using a larger battery."
Would have been nice if it had a top/side loading battery. Pointless if I have zero after new battery install. Looks good though.
Agreed, let’s sacrifice some size and or run time for a top/side load battery, doesn’t need to be a cr2032, go a little smaller and intentionally reduce the run time but increase ease of changes!
The iron sights were a great idea but that bottom loading battery is a hard pass.
Battery isn’t on the top or side is sadly a miss but I do like the optic.
Yea re zeroing sucks
And it defies gravity straight out of the box,!
😂
No MRS or at least 6MOA option for an "EDC" optic and bottom battery loading forcing re-zero every 6mos-1yr? starting at $269-$299... where is the competitive advantage versus Holosun?
No solar option either?
@@nlanwebb eh.. cant really fault them for no solar.. that could be a patent or royalty concern.
Good point! It is nice to have to fallback on though.
@@nlanwebb this also just goes back to my OP that at this price point and these "features"... Its a hard ask on the potential customer considering Holosun has the competitive advantage in comparison.
While I was watching this I was comparing the sentinel 2 to my 507c as I'm in the market for another one. I do love swampfox though if the price point was less I'd try one for sure.
I really like your optics, but I’m not buying anymore Mrds that do not have top or side loading battery locations.
I don’t understand why everyone gets so poopy over a bottom load battery. It’s a less finicky design and we should be removing, cleaning, inspecting, reinstalling, and zeroing at least that often anyway. Especially on a weapon we would carry everyday like this optic is designed for. Just my opinion.
#changemymind
LOL
No
Just no
I really don't know why you have to remove it to inspect something with no external moving parts. Also, if you're hitting your target with precision, why should you need to zero it again? I have the original Sentinel and the only time I have to zero it is when I replace the battery. I have no problem cleaning it attached to the gun. The way you say it, it would be like removing the car door to clean the window...
That’s a big no because of the bottom loading battery. Everything else looks good.
I see alotmof the same concerns and thoughts and figured would share this.
Though I understand that its not technically the RMRc footprint and honestly something I might compare because of options but SF released a blog post a day early (24 Nov 2023) and they have a Liberty & Justice 2.0 coming out. The sight window on the S2 is 20mm L2 25mm, the width is something like a tenth of an inch wider, but its top loading battery has multiple reticles options so unless you use a true micro platform with narrow slide or one that is made only for RMRc's you might want to wait.
I don't want to sound like a fan boy nor cheap person but honestly for the small gripes something may have SF makes it up in Quality, Cost, Customer Service and numerous other things. I will agree with most bottom loading isn't prefered but battery should have longer life(though I change mine more often) also even though I do belong to a club as well go to indoor ranges & I do train/practice for competition, its not a huge deal for me and maybe instead of it being a daunting task or looking negative look at it as a reason to get in range time.
I've contacted SF a few times with questions. They were answered later that same day. I'm waiting for the next gens before buying anything else.
@@charlesbeall2589 I recently picked up the 2nd Gen Sentinel & Liberty and very impressed with them they seem beefier. Definitely an upgrade I wanted to get a Justice bc I was using a Liberty on my comp gun and wanted to try the bigger window but the second Gen Justice's went from 3moa dot to a 6moa which doesn't work for me but I was able to source a 1st gen through Optic Planet (not to sound cheap but normally buy directly from SF bc of military/public safety discount but found prices pretty comparable bc OP offers discounts or where their normal prices are plus discount very close to getting from SF) but probably a me thing I am so used to the smaller window I actually swapped it out for the 2nd Gen Liberty it has a 2mm bigger window & that was another part of upgrades besides them just feeling like more heavy duty(not that it was an issue before but like the thicker housing) they also increased the window size on most.
The only issue I had with SF & I can see it from their pov & mine but sent a longer email as I had few questions and did get a reply to the effect of they prefer short emails which I get but at times for me I try to be as detailed as possible with intent to get the correct information.
I will say again I think more of a me problem but sometimes I am hesitant buying things blindly in the sense of unless you know someone with one you have to buy it and see if it works for your needs & if not do the return process vs alot of other optics I can find out n about but like I mentioned I have been happy with what I bought so far though I am thinking about getting a Halosun & trying it on my comp gun and do a comparison of them.
I need this in my life!!
Wish it had other reticle options
It'd be nice to see something with the Deltapoint Pro footprint for all those P320s out there... But do love Swampfox optics and support
I keep saying this! Not really sure why no one else is doing it. I have a few that need optics.
Both the DPP and Sentinel use the Shield mounting pattern.
Would have really liked to see a 6MOA option. 3MOA is usable, but certainly not my favorite.
You guys are doing great work, but it seems like you're not listening to your customers. I believe the majority of us would prefer to be able to swap the battery without having to remove the optic, rather than just getting a little more battery life
No multi reticle and it has to be removed to change the battery, NO THANKS!
almost perfect, just need to put batt on top or side
Bottom battery is a deal breaker for me.
I just wish it was top or side loading, then it would be perfect!
I love the brand. I just have one gripe.... the original sentinel I have on my Springfield Hellcat is great... but the button on the left side for brightness adjustment fell off just from holstering and unholstering with an appendix carry set up. Hopefully the buttons for brightness adjustment are more robust on this new version.
contact them, they'll likely replace it
Don't they have a lifetime warranty?
Are the windage/elevation adjustments click style or free spinning?
@@erikf48 they are click button
@@stevenhaynes795 i think they do. i should probably reach out.
Circle-Dot reticle when??
Get em!
It's unbelievable these companies ignore what people want.
Circle dot already!
You know what? I'll even take a Kingslayer with shake awake, how about that?
Make the Gen 2 with a top or side loading battery. I don’t like buying Holosuns in the rmsc footprint.
I have a SHADOW SYSTEM DR920P , do I need a special mounting plate. Thanks for sharing.
Love this! I liked the original one, though the auto brightness has limitations. This version looks like some solid improvements, I'll pick one up 🫡
Hopefully they got the brightness adjustment issue fixed. My OG Sentinel goes from a nice dim setting to blown out with 1 clock.
We upgraded our emitter, the brightness is definitely better!
Not true, it still does same thing. My green goes from dim to blasting in one click from lowest to #2…..very disappointing thinking about returning.
No one has mentioned the front ledge… is that designed to clear loaded chamber indicators? Is it high enough to clear the slide on those that are milled deeply like the Canik MC9? … Maybe I am a lemming. For me, the bottom loading battery is a blessing to give me an “excuse” to go to the range an additional time, once a year. The side load tray argument holds up for always on auto adjust optics, which this is not.
But does this meet SageDynamics drop test? i noticed in the video you drop it in mud, not on the optic from shoulder height onto concrete. I want to know if its robust enough to withstand actual force being delivered to the optic body. Please send Aaron this optic so he can review it, SageDynamics is the Apotome of testing, if it checks out ill purchase one and be a customer for life, i had a Green dot manual sentinel already and the glass failed due to bubbling after some time and i had to remove it. I love your company i own Arrowhead as well and its been great but the original sentinel was not very robust.
Any idea if these iron sights will work with p365 macro? Do you need tall iron sights for it to work?
Does it have the red dot emitter glare like the liberty and Justice?
With the raised window, doesn’t look like it will co-witness very well with iron sights or am I missing something?
Sweet. Do uou have to take it off to change the battery?
It is a bottom loading battery, you will need to remove the optic in order to change the battery out.
This is a bummer, Should have made it a Top Loader for that price...
@@SwampfoxOptics👎🤮
Battery change kills this thing for me regardless of how good and durable it might be. When there are other options that are loterally set and forget for the next ten or so year, having to remove the optic to change the battery makes this obselete on arrival.
Can I get it on Amazon yet?
the rusted sig at the beginning 🤣
I like that lots
Take my money
Was that Morgan Freeman😂?
What sort of clearance is required on the front of the RDS that overhangs the pistol slide?
What kind of front sight I should get with this one?
Does it come in fde? or just black?
can you tell me how much does it cost in us?🎉
250
Is this one brighter than the gen 1 ?
This one goes to 11...
When are these going to be available?
They are available on swampfoxoptics.com
Still not a green circle dot.. I will have to move on to Holosun if you guys have elected to stop supporting circle-dot reticules.. very disappointing..
Circle dots are over hyped. Dot is the way to go. Just so much visual noise. Theres a reason the best use just a dot.
Agree. I have always preferred circle dots
Though slightly bigger(S2 19mm window L2 24mm) if you saw their blog they also have new Liberty & Justice which will not only have top loading battery but also an option for multi reticles.
Personally I prefer a single dot especially for EDC or on a pistol but I also have had a TBI so it's less busy & easier for me to see a single dot. I tried the King Slayer on my comp pistol which has circle & dot(or as I call it the eotech reticle) and though it worked on some stages & type of comp(idpa,steel,...)but personally went back to a single dot and put the KS on my PS90 which works great
Ironside?

Is there an auto adjust? I absolutely love my Sentenial A !!!
@@hopewilliams6705 There is not an auto adjust variant for the Sentinel II.
@@SwampfoxOptics I hate to hear that
Can you send me one to review :)
What shadow systems is that on? Time to get another lol 😂
CR920P!
Coming out with a bottom loading battery in today's market is a huge L... pass....
I think your AI voice had a stroke
Its not AI 😂
