Aimpoint Launches New ACRO Series Sight

Aimpoint, a leader in red dot sighting technology, is introducing its new line of red dot sights, the Aimpoint ACRO (Advanced Compact Reflex Optic) Series. The distinctive small sight design of the Aimpoint ACRO series electronic red-dot sight was developed for use on pistols and other weapon platforms.

For many years, end users have requested a small enclosed red dot sight to fit on handguns. Utilizing Aimpoint's advanced sight technology, Aimpoint says it is launching the first of its kind to the market. The Acro P-1 offers an enclosed system made to be much more durable than those with open systems. It is also the only sight in its size category fully tested for shock, vibration, temperature span, and other environmental stress, according to the company.

The Acro P-1 optic is designed to perform under tough conditions while adding negligible size and weight to the equipment. Tested with a minimum of 20,000 rounds on a .40 caliber pistol slide, Aimpoint says this small optic has proven itself in its size category as the leader in ruggedness and reliability.

Designed for direct integration onto pistol slides, the Aimpoint Acro P-1 sight can also be used as a backup sight for magnifying scopes, personal defense weapons, and on any system where a small red dot is applicable.

The Acro P-1 sight is a 1X (non-magnifying) parallax-free optic that features a 3.5 minute of angle (MOA) red dot for fast target acquisition. It is fully submersible to 25 meters and allows continuous operation for over 1 year on a single CR1225 battery. Dot intensity is adjusted with side push buttons.

"The development of the Acro P-1 sight sets a new standard for compact pistol mounted reflex optics," said Aimpoint AB President Lennart Ljungfelt. "The commitment we make to our customers is to develop the highest performing red-dot sights available. The Acro P-1 optic fulfills that commitment by providing the lightest and most rugged enclosed red-dot sight in its size category on the market."
