Key benefits for everyday carry

• Large Hard Coated Aspherical Lens — provides a distortion-free sight picture, ensuring quick and accurate center-point alignment from the moment you look through the optic.

• ShockShield — a durable polymer insert absorbs shock to protect the 7075 aluminum body from everyday abuse, maintaining zero and performance across a wide range of firearms and recoil profiles.
