    I'm definitely looking forward to all the new products coming out at SHOT this year. My guess for this? Not sure - maybe an LPVO?

    I'm also looking forward to the new products at SHOT. This could be Aimpoint reaching out to help LEO'S with iptics if their rifle ends up in evidence after an OIS...? JP and SOLGW has a similar program with rifles. Probably reading too much into their announcement video.

    No idea, but OIS assistance or price assistance when on an approved duty weapon would both be nice.

    A new rifle optic. Sort of a PRO version of the T2. Looks like their answer to the Holosun and Romeo.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

    IMHO, they have been losing some market share to Holosun, Sig Optics, Primary Arms, Vortex, etc for some time now, mainly because of their price point. This seems to be a marginally improved product with a little lower price point to compete with the competition. Every so often capture peoples believing with something new and rinse and repeat. I personally would have liked to have seen something with a * larger square viewing window * like the Holosun AEMS RDS. The Holosun AEMS (sight only) weight just .1 oz more than this new Aimpoint RDS.

    Except the AEMS is literally an ACRO copy...

    The clear window viewing area on the Holosun AEM RDS is 1.1" x .87" inch and the new Aimpoint ACRO P-2's clear lens viewing area is just .59 X .59" inch, while the AEMS is made for AR's and other long guns while the Aimpoint ACRO series is *mainly* intended for pistol applications.
