EOTECH HWS EXPS3-1
Video | What’s Included | Specs | Pictures | Restrictions
It’s no secret EOTECH’s holographic weapon sights (HWS) are one of our favorite red dot options. We have been using them for years. The large field of view, clear glass, and numerous brightness settings make them a high performer in a wide array of scenarios. They work excellently under night vision, in front of a magnifier, and in general use. After years of using their optics, we asked EOTECH if they’d be willing to make us a version that combined all of our favorite features into one optic. Enter the EXPS3-1—a new EOTECH model that combines the advantages of the EXPS series (the QD mount, lower 1/3rd height, and extra, easily accessible NV settings) with the crisp single 1 MOA dot of the XPS2-1 model.
While we certainly love the classic donut reticle, the single 1 MOA dot offers some great advantages over the donut of death. For some users, the donut reticle can be too busy, taking up a good portion of the window. But with this one, no matter how bright you run the optic, the single dot is less likely to consume smaller targets—whether up close or at distance. Most red dot reticles are 2 MOA or larger; the larger the reticle, the more it will bloom. The smaller 1 MOA dot helps to lessen this effect, offering benefits for those with astigmatism.
