Optics

A red dot is only as useful as its zero. Follow these five simple steps to get your rifle or pistol optic on target, stop chasing shots, and save yourself from burning through a pile of ammo.

The Holosun SCS promises a pistol red dot with direct Glock MOS mounting, solar charging, no battery swaps, and enough toughness to ride on a 10mm Glock 20. I ran it like a defensive optic, worried about the solar power, broke a screw, dunked it in water, and still came away thinking this little green dot is one of the easiest pistol optics to live with.

The new FN PUREVIEW isn’t just another micro red dot trying to squeeze into an already crowded market. FN is doing something different here.

The company has not announced pricing or a firm launch date. Even so, the feature set signals a serious push into the high-end clip-on thermal market.
