The age old question, what is better, a red dot + magnifier or a LPVO (low power variable optic). In this video we explore the pros and cons of each optic system. The LPVO is a Vortex Viper Gen 2 1-6, on a Radian Defense Model 1. The competitor is a EOTech EXPS-3 with a G33 magnifier, both of which are on Unity Fast Mounts. The magnifier gun is a Type A Rifle 11.5 Pro model. Suppressor on the Type A is an OSS Helix 556. We hope you enjoy and chime in down in the comments.

The low ready argument had me laughing my ass off 🤣
Actual low ready vs lucas botkin low ready
@@christiandinero8083 I don't think so
Good rule of thumb if you are unsure what will work best on your setup: if you’re in an urban area rock the Eotech+magnifier combo. Rural areas then rock the lpvo. My reasoning is you’re less likely to take longer shots in an urban area but when you do then the magnifier can get it done. LPVO is a better choice if you’d take more shots at distance rather than inside 100yards. Just my 2 cents
“Sporadic firefight and you missed and lost”
“No I didn’t I won, I got the bad guy behind him.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys are without a doubt a channel pumping out higher quality videos than your subscriber numbers would indicate.
Keep the videos coming. I do think yall brush off high prices tags too easily though...
Prices are what they are. Generally speaking we feature fairly high end products
@@1911syndicate true on the higher end stuff. But stuff like $100 for a sling is still a lot for most folks. Nothing wrong with showing higher end stuff but my comment was only a critique of the brushing off of the price that I sometimes hear in the vids
Personally I run and Aimpoint T2 with a G33 magnifier. Loving it in every way. Best of both worlds. Bombproof and has the battery hours to back it up.
Same here, love it
Thats the way to go on a magnifier setup. Sold my eotech XSPS2 and went with T2 myself.
@Andrew Clodfelter trying to sell my t2 to get a razor lpvo
Bring back the cheesy but awesome ads with the model. Those were the best ads I’ve ever seen. Love the vids, keep it up
these guys get so personal i love it lmao
It'll haunt your dreams
I love these guys. Banter is priceless!
😂😭 you guys are great I’m subscribing. I can’t stop laughing about the “low ready”
It’s so low
You guys deserve way more subscribers honestly
They're coming in fast now fortunately
Thanks man that’s super kind 👊🏻
I’ve ran numerous optics for Duty/Combat/Training. I feel you guys missed a very important variable in the equation here: Multiple threat engagements at varied/unknown distances. This would have really taken this comparison to some Big Brain level sh!t. The EOTech is a combat optic while the LPVO is a Competition Gun Masterclass. Additionally - I have seen EOTechs get destroyed and still project the reticle to make shots on shattered glass
The divide is in the POU with the LPVO letting designated marksmen be viable in CQB, while the EOTech uses a “Battle Zero” of 50/200 or 36/300 to make combat hits with long range being an after-thought (enter magnifier)
The biggest question is: “Are you doing DMR sh!t?”
Yes - get the LPVO
No - Get the EOTech
FYI, I run an ACOG/off set RMR on a URGI 14.5
Guys have been using different LPVOs in combat on 10.4 and 14.5 rifles for almost a decade.
I’ve never seen a 10.5 or a LPVO in a line unit, only special forces and Designed Marksmen. EOTechs were pretty common with private purchases.
@@analysisparalysis2124 the Marine corps is ditching their ACOGs for 1-8 VCOGs
@@borkwoof696 so every Boot is getting a 1-8 now?
It's a totally fair point, we actually had other drills we wanted to run but we just ran out of capacity that day, this was the end of the day
LPVO is the best optic in terms of competition. As a 3 gun competiton shooter, shooting without an LPVO puts you at a huge disadvantage cause you are taking shots to at least 400 yards.
What about for something with a 7-8inch barrel?
Thanks
🤙🏻
Good stuff.
LPVO is my choice due to less moving parts/mounts, & less lenses to get dirty in adverse conditions.
I love mine. It was a game changer for me.
What "adverse" conditions are you shooting in?
@@JohnBlaze505
Rain. Snow. Mud. Evil doesn't stop for bad weather, so neither does training to kill it.
Great clip guys! A lot more educational than you think
Hey we'll take it
I definitely don't have enough tattoos to do something like this
You can move your eotech forward and run rear sight on the riser then you can buy a .625 riser and put your front iron sight on that. This allows you to cowitness with irons with that unity set-up.
. 625 inch riser.*
6:56 I had no idea what that weird sound was. Then I remembered, I have an SCS buffer.
And a good Holosun means batteries aren't much of a worry.
Finally found the comment I was hoping for. If not I was gonna ask the same thing what that weird ass sound I was hearing. I don’t have a silent captured buffer spring/buffer. But I still don’t have that sound out of my rifle. Or I just don’t notice it much bri don’t have a suppressor
Let me start by saying great video!! Keep up the awesome content!!
I'm a police officer in San Antonio, I was fortunate to have experimented with the LPVO's, ACOG's & Magnifier/red dot set ups.
90% of my LE training is inside 100 yards. So I picked the Magnifier/red dot set up here's why.
Red dots are hands down the best optic for CQB or inside 100 yeards. It's also easier to learn and to be honest CQB stuff is fun! I tend to gravitate more towards this because of its simplicity.
Note: the Red dot/magnifier is not great for distance shooting. The 2 MOA becomes enlarged with the magnifier and can throw your shot off at 250+ meters... but in law enforcement it's rare that you EVER have to engage at long distances, If you do, be prepared to explain WHY!!
ACOG. Well this was my favorite till I had to spend more money on a rmr for CQB. My buddies who deployed to Afghanistan mentioned this to be their favorite optic. The acog is the best for its durability, mid range shooting, and it looks so dam good! Looms like a 4k movie!! Also, its a dam ACOG! ACOG was way ahead of it times!! And was used in the middle east so that speaks volumes.
Note: Best for Mid range, unknown terrain, best sight picture. Not so great for CQB.
LPVO. I personally trained with this for work and was quick to hate it for CQB / inside of 50 meters. YEA, you can get good if you train ALOT with it! I know LE officers/SWAT officers who train all day and run LPVO's and love them. My issue is the cost, weight, durability, eye relief and I dont have alot of time to be training like special forces or SWAT guys (twice a week or more). One SWAT officer told me he'd rather run a cheap red dot/magnifier set up then a cheap LPVO...
Note: LPVO's are know to be the the jack of all trades... "Good at everything, master at none"
Hope this helped! God bless and safe training!
I change the batteries in all my optics and electric ear pro every 3 months regardless of if they are dying or not. Downrange we changed our batteries every morning before we went outside the wire so I got in the habit of just changing them frequently. I’ve never had a problem.
LPVO with canted RDS is the best of both worlds, in my opinion.
Sure.... if you dont care about weight.
@@JayM1989 most firefights will be within talking distance for self defense so in reality it’s all unnecessary other than a red dot.
@@JayM1989 or price
Things are changing.
Are you going to hope for a bad breath distance fight with NFAC or Aunt Teefa?
Or, would you rather use range and marksmanship as an advantage that they probably do not have?
@@hansblitz7770 my primary objective is to not get in the situation to begin with, and leave the situation in every possible scenario. In the scenarios that are not possible to escape it will probably be something like getting boxed in by cars or rushed by a mob. Any other situation is escapable and most likely will get you thrown in jail for “manslaughter” or murder of some sort. The courts, politicians, and police are not on your side so I’d rather not have my personal liberty placed in their hands.
Having both, I prefer an E0-Tech and magnifier. The reticle is awesome. Zero for 5/200. The bottom hash mark is basically my 7-10 yard hold, center is 50-200 yards, and just hold a tad high for 300. 400+ is just a bit higher. Its fast. As cool as the Unity mounts are, the lower 1/3 of the EXPS3-0 is fine. No need for mounts and you can save a lot of money.... and that money can go toward irons and batteries. LOL I also found I hate messing with power rings even with a throw lever on an LPVO. Flipping the G33 to the side is fast and easier than a stiff power ring. If you run a 5x magnifier, then you're right there with a 1-6. Even with a 3x, you gain a lot of capability. I've also fund that certain LPVO's get smashed easy... if you roll like a cave man. Both have their places... both work... you just gotta know what you want to do with your rifle.
my man thanks for the break down and support of the channel see this is the type of comments i dig you know your shit and this is a good informational comment man thank you again
@@Chrisblau No problem man. I enjoy the awesome content. Some times I hate throwing out my two cents on other people's platforms, which is why I blog, but I just figured I'd give a little perspective since I've run similar setups (unity risers and eo-techs) and more basic setups. Theres always pros and cons... and often simple just works. I think the important thing though is keeping an open mind and just try stuff. Experience is hands down the best way to learn and if you can share that with people, then why not? Its all about helping people.
The two cents is always welcome. Hell even 3 cents
I was just thinking of putting one of the two on my SCAR. Perfect timing for rewatching again
Lol "doesn't break the bank, all in about $900"
My friend... guns and gear aren't cheap.
@@almostontimehero5415 this is true. There are also very high quality optics out there far less cheaper than $900.
@@theAudioCowboy primary arms 💪 and Holosun💪
@@madeintexas1213 I went the holosun route
@@theAudioCowboy you can't go wrong with holosun and the price. I run the 503g with acss reticle and 3x magnifier on flip mount. Total for less than eotech sight by itself and the quality it pretty damn good.
LPVO on my .308
Red dot on my 762x39
Scope on my .338lapua
What you put on what platform determines the max benefit you gain from that set up. Short range, light firearms run better with Red Dots. Long distance calibers demand a magnification. Army is applying a one size fits all approach by moving to LPVOs from Acogs.
Their is no better choice, just depends on the user and what will encompass the guns intended purpose best
I agree with alot of your point. In. A civilian application, shtf role, I'm not engaging anything past 300 yards (talking defensive shooting). I can reliably hit out to 300 with a red dot so that's what I train with but I do have rifles set up with lvpo's. Where I live you travel 5 minutes one direction and you're in the city, 5 minutes the other and farm land or vast sections of forrest so having the ability to glass and identify potential combatants is a good thing. I will say that if you train with the lvpo you can run it just as fast as a red dot.
With the magnifier, I have a buddy who was a sof guy for 20 years and he said he and his guys never ran the magnifier on the rifle. They would stow it on they're cargo pocket or PC and pull it out only if they needed it.
I think different guys run different setups. There’s a lot of legit dudes who ran magnifiers on their guns.
@@1911syndicate there's not disputing that. Essentially it comes down to training and what you're most comfortable with. Many ways to skin a cat.
I like the third party choice...ACOG!
No batteries, buttons, knobs, flip-to-side hand movements, and less decisions to make.
ACSS ACOG w/offset RMR on a URGI!!!
@@analysisparalysis2124 Word playa. I have a 3x Acog with ACSS. I feel like I don’t even need a red dot. It’s a little blurry out to about 5 feet, but at those distances...who cares? Lightweight, damn near indestructible, great eye relief on mine, really helps on those longer distance shots.. What more could you want?
Also red dots look like a tiny galaxy to me, where as the Acog horseshoe & dot (guess that’s technically not ACSS but has the Christmas tree holdover) is super crisp.
I bet you still have a VCR if you run ACOGs (fighting words)
@@1911syndicate Fudd Jokes from the guy with 1911 in his channel name! Hahahaha
And I may have a VCR somewhere... But that Betamax is something in a new level brah - It’ll change your life.
I hated the acog acss... got rid of it for a trijicon Accupoint triangle.
Been a subscriber for a while now your channel is really good man so professional yet laid back appreciate the content man!
Thanks for coming on the journey with us
Lpvo and a mount for the set up is going to be heavier than a red dot with magnifier. But the lpvo will help with reaching out on longer shots. So it'll be on the individuals needs and wants.
These guys are amazing😂 fucking with each other like they’ve been friends since highschool. love it😂
Excellent UA-cam handle you have
Found your channel through your original lvpo vs red dot and so glad I did!
Thanks man
I am going with LPVO+ red dot. love the video
I have run a lot of different setups. And I am really liking my current configuration, Vortex Razor 1-10 with an RMR rm09 on a 45 degree mount.
I like it
I’m getting a Razor 1-10 but I have a Leupold DPP at about 35* from arisaka
I use the razor gen ii e 1x6 and 45 with a 508t. My other just runs the he530gr green dot no magnifier.
Don't need to spend 350-500 on a rmr when u have one of if not the best lpvo available. Any good lpvo is a red dot on one power essentially. Don't even waste the 350-500 on a rmr
@@noluckpureskill9985 its a back up sight. I prefer dots to irons. My 508t was over 400, worth every penny.
One important thing to note where LPVO have an advantage. People with bad astigmatism. Red dots for me, all of them, starburst really bad. LPVO have a focal adjustment that corrects this. I’ll use offset irons for up close where I can’t look threw my optic.
I've been wanting a lpvo or prism optic for that very reason. My astigmatism isn't that bad, I see a ( shape, but I'm a better shot with irons out past 50 yards.
Hmmm interesting point
I ran Red dot with 3x for a lot of years. I switched 3 or 4 years ago to LPVO . TR24R , TR25 , P4Xi and Razor HD are my Favorites. TR24R is on my go too 12.5 . The TR24 & TR25 are powered by the fucking sun . So battery life is 9 billion years but tritium needs to be replaced every 12 years or so .
Which one you recommend for Go to? Which one is lighter, with great eye releif? I copped up a PA 1-6 sfp last year. Was a bit heavy. Didn't like it. For all around use. You recommend first focal plane or seconed?
@@techti8792 The only lpvo that he mentioned that is lighter than the PA 1-6 is the tr24. You just have to accept LPVO's are just pigs compared to modern red dots if you want to run one. I've also owned all the lpvo's he mentioned except the TR25. The TR24 has the best 1x eyebox, fastest 1x reticle, and is the lightest. Just know everything in lpvo's is a trade off and the TR24's glass, FOV, 4x reticle, and mag range is the worst on that list.
Thanks for another great video! Switched from RD/magnifier to LPVO, due to RD/magnifier setup having twice as many lenses to get distorted by droplets when shooting in the elements (e.g. rain, snow, etc.). Stand alone RD still best for home defense setup.
Hmmm I'd be curious to run this in the snow/rain and see what it's like
Great info as usual and you guys had me cracking up. Thanks.
It was all miss information.
There are so many battery compartments for cr123s. I run 10 extra batteries in my stock and magpul grips. EMP time to use flip up irons.
RDS + 3X is my vote!
The weight and crap battery life are EOtech specific.
With a Aimpoint style micro set up, with Holosun, Sig Optics, some others, then the lighter magnifiers, always going to be lighter than pretty much any LPVO.
Also, I would trust a budget red dot to hold zero after freezing temps, getting beat on, dropped, etc much more than a budget LPVO.
But, what is the best? Top of the line 1-6 1-8, with one of the best qd cantilever mounts... going to pay for it though, in shekels and weight.
Love you Fin!
I really like these guys
We like you too
Scalarworks is coming out with the new 1.93" irons that could give you a lower 1/3 witness with that Unity setup.
Oh very cool
I just switched my eotech for an LPVO because im an old fucker and the diopter on the LPVO makes a huge difference. Sucks getting old lol
Idk why but that buffer spring noise gets to me
the microphones pick it up WAAAY better than your ear does cause shooting both guns you don't notice it AT ALL

Hell yea
@@1911syndicate Cowitness through the Eotech, just like you do on a red dot. On home defense setup, I always keep the irons up. You need to practice with the red dot not powering up. Return to zero on high end QD mounts is pretty good. Having a backup hunting scope is not a bad idea. Twilight light gathering is going be better than a 24 mm objective. The Eotech rectile will blink if low battery.

Welcome to the party man!
Red dot + Magnifier for me... no need to worry about eye relief on red dots in magnified.... BUT etched reticles are good for when batteries go dead.... so maybe LPVO
So you have no clue is what you're saying
Eotech with a 36 yard zero and a G33 for me
I’ve been running the EOTech and a G33 Magnifier on my 16” Colt M4 L.E. and I can honestly say I love the accuracy and the ease of use for the set up! It works fast and accurately in a variety of situations from a CQB out to distance 250yds. Plus. Also, I have the standard Colt M4 “flip-up front sight” and a Buttler “flip-up Rear Sight” mounted directly underneath of my G33 Magnifier (for back up use only). So should my optics get damages or batteries go dead; I can simply flip the Magnifier to the side and pop up the rear sight and I can see the front sight dirrectly through my EOTech Holographic and still be able to engauge rather quickly at good distances.
I’ve looked at several of the LVPO’s and have considered mounting one on another Rifle with a 45 degree canted Red Dot. I just am not sure if I want to go with a FFP or a SFP set up and which reticle version that I really want to go with; as they all vary in power and looks. Seriously want to see one with the “TRYBE Optics Enhancer /Magnification Doubler” added to the front of the LVPO; just to see what kind of magnification picture you’ll get especially when the LVPO is powered up.
Which would be better with the doubler: FFP vs: SFP?, 1x4, 6, or 8 magnification? clear or fuzzy sight picture? Balance of rifle once added? ect.
@Eric M - Exactly! 👍
@@DTS-6906 I don't have any experience with the Trybe unit. FFP is going to give you an accurate bullet drop and ranging reticle at any magnification. SFP you'd be accurate at full magnification and you'd have to figure out your dope at each interval other than that. This is all based of course on you zeroing the optic at the recommended distance and using the same or similar to recommended ammo.
Eotech auto shut off at 4 or 8 hours depending on how it’s set up. At bed side, pick up, touch button boom.
I tried, I failed, invader ran away. No more eotech, lpvo and Romeo 5 all day and everyday.

It is very relaxing to hear two friend's opinions and concerns on LPVOs vs Red Dots. No one was shilling or mincing words.

Love this video guys, great personalities
That's a low bar for "great"
@@1911syndicate considering I watch this during work, any video during this time has a lower bar, good pass time
Weight of the eotech exps 3-0 is like 11oz Unity mount is 2-3 oz magnifier and FTC is another 12-15 oz depending on magnification. People who say the lpvo weighs so much are funny lol. Aimpoint Unity setup vs lpvo the only real killer is the weight. That being said the Achilles heel of the aimpoint is the function knob. If that breaks or is damaged you have nothing. There’s a video of a guy destroying a swamp Fox lpvo where he literally had to bend it back straight with a crowbar. And there was still a reticle. It’s hard to argue the robust construction of modern lpvos. And all the same guys complaining about a durable lpvo being too expensive are the same people spending 800$ on a red dot 😂 personally I own both red dot on any 10.5-11.5. 12.5-16 inch gets an lpvo and anything longer will be a high mag optic. No clue why people argue which is better, it’s like arguing if a Glock 17 is better than a 19😂 both are made for different things. If I’m going to be clearing buildings I want a RDS if I’m hiking up and down mountains I want an acog. And if I have no idea where and when the fight will occur, I run an lpvo. But different strokes for different folks
I think if you got a better quality LPVO you would feel better, something like Kahles K16i. They are pricey but worth it in my opinion.

The same type of video I would watch on every other gun channel, but I still don't have one-or-the-other, so I keep watching them until I GET MINE. I gots a Nikkon 1x4 LPVO (unfortunately without the BDC, but I made my choice!) AND technically the EOTECH is a holographic sight which sucks up the battery life more than a true red dot, right? Then we get into our red dot vs holographic video... Holosun seems good because they have a "Shake to Wake" feature, and solar powered feature on some of their models.
Yes holosun has some solar options, works fairly decent
Do same test with open sights then compare all three setups
great video! I like lpvo
Run a basic bushnell 1-4 lpvo with a canted sig Romeo 5 red dot.

I’m not a huge fan of EOTech to begin with. I’m especially not a fan of that short battery life. I’m really not a fan of having two different optics up top.
To each is own, they are all very capable in the hands of anyone competent
Mostly ranged targets with some CQB? Go with an LPVO.

A tattoo that is now complete but wasn’t complete at that time. And thanks
With the EXPS&G33 i like that combo on 11.5’s that i had set up for 0-250/300 max. Then on my reece style set up i run an TA31 aurora acss acog on a adm 2.04” height qd mount's with an arisaka defense offset 1.93” height offset rmr/HE508T V2 Elite for 0-600 yards. I only run an LPVO 1-8x pa platinum acss raptor m2 on my .308 pof Revolution due the fact i dont mind the weight on it with it set up for 0-800 yards. However the reece set ups i have with mounts are 16-17oz all in vs the 35+ ounces for the 1-8x. But given the light weight of the rifle is 6.75lbs naked and just under 12lbs with suppressor, atlas bipod, modlite oks/reptilia 18650 body/ds00tailcap/ut hot button, bfg sling, and the pa platinum 1-8x with reptile offset 45deg top cap for a he508t v2 elite witht the geissele mount is more than accepable weight for a 16” .308. So in short i try and keep the weight of my rifle relative to what the intended distances i plan to use it for. as just like any other tool there is one tool for every job. I may just be a weekend shooter but like having multiple specialized set up that excell at the task they were built for than to have a “do it all” rifle that is adiquate at most tasks yet excells at none.
Red dot + magnifier, all day everyday!!
Meal Team 6 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sure the big guy is recon going by the shirt
Sights on a scar 16 S will cowitness with the EO Tech
Lol those low readies are already snapping in.
Ummm…Jake your Eotech magnifier isn’t even mounted all the way back on your picatinny rail. You need to move your whole setup as far back as possible. You don’t even have a BUIS, so I don’t know why you’re set up isn’t all the way back. Easily gain 2-3” backwards so as to not move your head so much forward.
I think your use of aftermarket mounts on your Eotech/G33 combo skews your comparison. The factory mounts work great and I paid less than $1K for my combo. Also, I do have folding backup sights on my M4. There is plenty of room under the magnifier. Just swing the magnifier over and flip the backup sight up.
We'll do a vid on these mounts, in my opinion they are far superior
Would the combo work with the MaTech rear sight? Planing to run it on a Colt LE6920. Thanks

Good video bud, I personally run the eotech combo as a lefty. I run a fixed front post and a troy battle sight duel aputure flip up, also I live in an area on the east coast where the longest shots I'd ever take are within 350, the way I see it if something crazy ever went down and I can no longer use my primary sighting system, I'll yank both off and go to irons, which is completely usable in my area any day.

Where can I get the white syndicate t-shirt with the monopoly guy in it?
Should have an apparel run ready to rock in about 3 weeks
