Aimpoint ACRO P-2

I’m excited to be disappointed again. Hope AP proves me wrong this time.

I have a pre-order as well. I reached out to Eurooptic and they said ship date is now October.

Crap. I just got my Glock 17 Gen 4 slide back from Jaegerworks. I had it milled just for the ACRO. Oh well, the plain black Dawson sights are still on back order.

What exactly are you planning on being disappointed by?

The same things that made the first gen of the Acro a disappointment.

The same things that made the first gen of the Acro a disappointment.

And what things were those? The only real gripe I can think of is the battery life, and even then, I thought it was way overblown, and beyond that, perfectly obvious if you simply just do a modicum of research as to the 1225 battery. Given that the P-1's battery life was basically right on target with your typical Aimpoint's battery life if you simply extrapolated down to the size of the CR1225, I see no reason why we would be disappointed by the P-2 on that front, particularly when it has the exact same published battery life as a T-2.

I was answering for contax. His was lasting like 12 days before dying. It was ridiculous.

This is correct...

It's fair to say that they're a bit overwhelmed with orders and they're trying to deliver to all customers in a timely manner...

Do either of you actually use the ACRO? How about as an EDC? The P1 was originally advertised as at least 1 year on setting 7. Setting 7 is barely daytime bright, never mind as a night gun with a x300U attached...

We've been around this before. Yes, I EDC with my P-1s, and have done so for most of the time they were out (not a launch, if only because it took my guy awhile a way to mount it to my oddball guns). Yes, the battery life isn't great, but I would take it over the RMR anytime. I change the P-1's batteries every 2 weeks, with it being left on the second highest setting. I was changing my RMR's batteries every 6 months, with it being left on the second highest setting, and I would much rather change it on the ACRO with a simple 2 minute procedure those 12 times than have to deal with confirming zero, redoing threadlocker, etc. that I would have to with an RMR, to say nothing of the other advantages the ACRO has (tint, enclosed emitter, etc.).

It's a ****ing 1225 battery. I don't know what to tell you. Setting 6 on an ACRO P-1 is about equivalent to setting 7 on a CompM5 based off of my eyeballs, and setting 7 on a CompM5 is what Aimpoint uses to quote a 5 year battery life (same with the T-2). If you can't do a bit of basic extrapolation based of off well-documented specs, then I don't know what to tell you.
