Swedish company Aimpoint introduces the new PRO sight for law enforcement at Milipol 2011 | |||
Aimpoint,
the originator and worldwide leader in electronic red dot sighting technology,
has announced the introduction of a new sight designed specifically for
use on law enforcement firearms. This new product, called Aimpoint®
Patrol Rifle Optic™ (PRO), expands upon the company’s already
proven designs and focuses these features into a sight that comes in a
complete “ready to go” kit. |

Designed
with input from a distinguished group of current and former professionals,
the PRO sight incorporates many never before seen features to maximize
this sight’s performance within the challenging conditions faced
by modern law enforcement. A hard-anodized 30mm tube was utilized, enclosing
a high efficiency circuit that allows the sight to be turned on and left
on for up to three years using a single battery. The front lens utilizes
a unique band-pass coating, which allows the sight to be used with all
generations of night vision devices. The modular QRP2 mount includes a
removable spacer that indexes the sight at the optimal height for co-witness
with the standard iron sights on AR15/M16/M4 Carbine style weapons. This
spacer can be removed to enable the use of the sight on police shotguns
or sub-machineguns. The QRP2 mount also incorporates a torque-limiting
twist knob that provides the optimal level of pressure on the rail while
completely eliminating the possibility of over-tightening. Both the front
and rear lenses are recessed within the sight body to provide protection
against impact damage, scratches, and fingerprints. Flip covers are included
to further protect the lenses, and a transparent rear lens cover is utilized
allowing the user to engage a target with the lens covers closed in an
emergency situation. A two Minute of Angle (2 MOA) red dot is utilized
to allow maximum accuracy at all distances and under all environmental
conditions. |

Lennart Ljungfelt, President of Aimpoint AB. “By choosing this optic,
a Law Enforcement unit is making the smart choice - giving their officers
the best technology available in a kit that is user friendly and ready
to go at all times, while keeping training time and maintenance to a minimum.” |
