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

There are no threads in the front for a traditional screw one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is working on it. It wouldn’t be hard, kind of like the ACOG ARD unit.

Thanks WasatchAR, I'll keep my eyes open for one.

Now I am really missing the 101.... Looks like you had fun though!

ETA: OK so can anyone tell me the differences between the H1 and the T1? Is it NVD compatibility and water resistance? Seeing how I am not interested performing any rebreather insertions from a boomer nor do I own a PVS-14, perhaps the H1 is a better choice?

ETA2: Well heck if I'm shelling out $520 for a H1 whats the extra $60 for the T1 I guess.

You guys are a bad influence. I took the plunge and should have a T1 on the way from LT next week.

I'll blame you if I catch any aggro from the HH6.

Small lights are fine in rooms, and compared to the lights of the past, the X300 is far and above small. Most people will be perfectly happy with 65 lumens inside a residiential building. 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.

They do make a remote switch for the x300
