does this optic co-witness AR irons..

Love mine!! Happy I traded my eotech for it. I was dissapointed with me eotech as it was very blury at the brightness I needed it at to see it. And it was an the latest model that cost me a bit more than this aimpoint. Can't speak for cowitness as I don't have iron sights.

I have no say on the PRO but with the right mount, you can get any dot to co-witness.

I'd be interested in one....if I knew where I could get one. Last I saw they only sold to LE/MIL.

I saw that as well.. but is not problem...

Yeah it's apparently being sold only to LE/MIL.

I'm glad they finally made a NICE optic that doesn't run $500+.

Yeah but if it's not available to civilians, what good is it?

Is it only for LE use, or can LEO's purchase it for personal use, and if so, what happens if they want to sell it down the road, do they have to sell it to another LEO or can they sell it to anyone??

The restriction of sale to LE/MIL isn't a legal issue, it's a marketing issue. From what i understand, they're restricting sales of this optic to LE/MIL only because of supply issues. Don't know if this is temporary while they figure out ways to ramp up production (it's been out for over a year now), or if they just don't have the capacity to produce more.

they are offering an optic to people to utilize for LEO or MIL work at a reduced cost.. my assumption is they restrict sale of this optic as to not compete with their normal civilian market..

^ That makes sense.

They gouge the civilian market.

 

If you place large institutional orders you don't get gouged. However lots of small departments do not do procurement in that manner, and aimpoint was losing business in that market to slightly cheaper competition. So they came out with the pro, but tell their sellers to restrict sales so they can continue to gouge the civilian market.

buy thru LaRue Tactical. No military/LE check and you can get one of the best mounts out there

You can get a PSA AR15 "Patrol carbine" with the PRO...

Nick, I have to assume that PSA pays you for how much you advertise for them

You can buy without LEO/MIL restriction there, but it costs (with the Larue Mount), $555, which is $9 MORE than a Comp ML2 (with Larue Mount), thereby defeating the purpose of having a "cheap" Aimpoint PRO. I'm extremely confused by their pricing on these optics. I suppose the PRO also includes the standard Aimpoint mount, but who needs 2 mounts for a single optic?

as discussed earlier.. it is to encourage individuals to buy from their civilian market..

this is not a legal obligation... they simply will only sell to LEO or MIL....

you gotta have at least ONE friend that fits that description?

Or just buy it from Primary Arms (post #7 in this thread) They say nothing about only selling to Mil/LE

I should be getting it SLIGHTLY cheaper for those that can wait about a week...

i got mine when they first came out and bought it from palmetto no problems.. its pretty awesome!

Love mine! It's on a CX4 .40 - hope to get it to the range soon. Would be willing to post the time/place if anyone wants to check it out. Purchased mine at skdtac.c o; $405 delivered.

order submitted.. lets see how this goes..

 

$385 to my door..

What is the difference between the PRO and the Comp M3? Other than the price.

M3 has 2 OR 4 MOA dot availability

I find the 4 MOA dot the PRO has to be plenty adecquite.. I had a 2MOA dot so can compare..

 

 

Pro comes WITH mount

a mount that at first glanse was eh.. but now that I have it in hand.. is pretty nice.. ESPECIALLY considering I paid nothing for it.. LOL

 

 

M3 has slightly more battery time

but in the context of an Aimpoint which you could leave on for years.. MOOT point IMO...

 

Aimpoint PRO hands down.. well worth it.. great optic for the money..

Maybe I can do a group buy for you guys and use my LEO status

pretty sure the LEO thing is straightened out for anyone that needs one.. best price I can get given that scenario is $385 to the door.. I could inquire on a slightly deeper discount if numerous people were interested..

I'm interested in one.
