Anyone using the Aimpoint Micro T-1 as a primary optic?

**Nimslow** · 07-02-09, 21:38

I'm running a T-1 as the primary on my 10.5" LWRC SBR. I really like it over the M2 I used to have. I may also replace the Eotech 553 with another one on my 6920.

A new shooter I introduced to EBR's shooting my SBR with T-1, and Surefire 556K suppressor.

My fault sorry for the double post...What grip is that? Looks great.

Looking through the AR pic thread sort of answers my question....plenty of guys are running the T-1 as their primary optic (now)!

There is really not enough difference in lighting to make a big difference. The high output lights (over 150) are awesome for penetrating dark when you are standing in the light, with light adjusted vision. The X300 type kind of bridge the gap for me. Not a super-light, but loads of light for all but the worst-case lighting conditions.

The problem (to me) with the X300 lies in it's activation method. The toggle is fine for pistols, and does not require altering the normal grip.

Rifles are bit different. First, the bezel of the light needs to be forward of the edge of the handguard or you get unacceptable shadow forward, and illuminate yourself. Both considered to be "bad". Second, the X300 requires toggle activation, which requires that the support hand be right behind the light. This is not really a problem on an SBR, but is unaceptable on most mid-lengths or rifles (for me). I would really be happy if SF made a tape-switch for the X300 like the Insight M3X.

This is just me though, YMMV.

I use the X300 and it works great for me as a rifle and handgun light. It has 110 lums. On the rifle I mount it at 12 o clock. I use my thumb to activate the light it is natural for me.
