Lightweight, waterproof, and shockproof, Sightmark’s Dual Shot is distinguished from other reflex sights by its accompanying laser that is in parallel precision for the highest accuracy when shooting at even the fastest moving targets, and by its 0 to infinity usage capabilities. The laser can also be removed from the Dual Shot for use on its own, or reattached depending on preference.
