Aimpoint Pro- Is there a reason to buy the other more expensive aimpoints?

My take is that it really depends upon the footprint and use.

I have a small retail and now online shop, and we just started carrying Aimpoint. At SHOTSHOW, we looked hard at all the offerings, and settled on four models we are carrying:

Aimpoint Micro T2
Aimpoint Pro
Aimpoint Comp 5
Aimpoint Patrol

As we also have an active clientele for whom we build M4A1 clones, we are always buying ML2's and rebuilding, but many customers are opting for a Patrol. Looks the part and is a better product.

They sell the batteries at both hardware stores in my hometown. I bought the extended battery compartment for both of my Aimpoint pro's.

Hello Usmcvet,

Is the extended battery compartment just a holder for a spare, or does it change the battery compartment to double stack 2 batteries using them both at the same time.

Seen it advertised before but could not tell exactly what it was for.

Thanks!

Not usmcvet, but it is just a holder for a spare. Replace the battery compartment cap with the extender (with battery inserted), insert spare battery into extender, retain the spare battery with the battery compartment cap.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining. Basically putting a spare on the optic iteslf.

Thank you!

Yeah I had the same question. It's just a spare holder. It doesn't offer extendeded run time. I think I bought them on Ebay and Aimpoint actually sent me a new rubber strap to retain the covers.

The vast majority of users will be well served by a pro. I don't know of very many stateside applications where it wouldn't do the job, especially on the non-LE side of the house. Weight, size, and battery options are where the T1/T2/CompM5 really shine.
