Olight is finest identified for flashlights of all types, though they do have a line of knives and instruments additionally. For those who’ve been within the on-line gun group for greater than a minute, you’ll know their lights are a bit controversial as a consequence of a lightweight exploding various years again. It was extra probably than not a CR123A battery situation relatively than a lightweight situation, however the web by no means lets information get in the best way of meme, or lets a nasty popularity die. With that out of the best way, there are many Olight customers strolling round with all their fingers and lights which have by no means exploded. I’ve various Olights I’ve used over time, and even used them on responsibility at numerous factors in my profession. If you will get previous the web scorn, their latest product is fairly fascinating, the Osight 3 MOA red-dot weapons sight.
Plenty of firms make red-dot sights today, and plenty of are fairly comparable in kind and options. The Osight is one thing completely different although. At a look it has a typical mini-reflex sight format. It has a 3 MOA pink or inexperienced dot (there are two completely different fashions) and a 70,000-hour battery life on the low setting. It has a shake awake system for additional battery financial savings, and you’ll selected between a hard and fast brightness or auto sensing brightness ranges.

It makes use of a normal RMR mounting footprint and an non-compulsory Picatinny rail mount is on the market. Olight says they’ve finished 10,000-round area checks with it, and it’s been utilized by competitors shooters. Thus far so good, however nothing tremendous uncommon. Right here’s the place it will get fascinating.
The factor that makes the Osight stand out is the inner, rechargeable battery. Altering batteries in mini red-dot sights is usually a ache, particularly with designs that require you to take away the sight to swap batteries. Effectively with the Osight, you’ll by no means have to. It has an inside rechargeable battery that’s charged by way of a charging hood. The charging hood appears like a barely chunky sight cowl and might simply be left on the sight when the gun isn’t in use, or simply thrown on when you must cost the location. The hood has its personal battery and has sufficient juice to cost the Osight thrice. It’s rechargeable utilizing a normal USB C cable. The Osight has a battery meter in-built that reveals the cost stage, too, so that you by no means have to guess if you must prime off.
Am I going to expire and seize an Osight and slap it on my responsibility gun? No, in all probability not. It’s nonetheless model new, and I’d prefer to see the way it performs long run. With that stated, I like the concept of not having to purchase batteries, and the charging arrange appears simple. The bottom options just like the window and dot dimension and battery life are good, too. I’d undoubtedly be keen to provide one a attempt on one in every of my vary weapons. MSRP on the red-dot model is $199.99 though Olight has the Osight on sale for $159.99 proper now. The inexperienced dot runs a bit extra at $229.99 MSRP and $183.99 on sale.
