This technology provides up to 150,000 hours of operation, ensuring the collimator is always ready without the constant worry of battery replacement.

FAST-RACK™ Texturing for Tactical Use

Aggressive texturing on the front of the housing allows reliable one-handed slide manipulation. Whether pressed against a holster, belt, or solid surface, it enables fast and confident reloading even under stress—an essential feature in tactical operations.
