2025 MARKS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE – AIMPOINT, THE TRUE PIONEER BEHIND RED DOT SIGHTS, IS CELEBRATING ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY! THEY WERE THE TRAILBLAZERS WHO REALLY BROUGHT RED DOT OPTICS TO THE FOREFRONT OF FIRE- ARM USE. AND LOOK AT THEM NOW! THEY'VE CREATED SO MANY FANTASTIC OPTICS THAT ARE LOVED AND TRUSTED BY EVERYONE FROM WEEKEND WARRIORS TO ELITE MILITARY UNITS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ACROSS THE GLOBE.

The- se little powerhouses, launched abo- ut seven years ago (legacy ACRO P-1/C-1), became instant hits. You see them everywhere: as the pri- mary sight on handguns, a reliable backup on rifles, and even as a pri- mary optic on them. What's so great about them? A super tough, com- pact design that can handle pretty much anything you throw at it (or the weather throws at it!), and con- trols that just make sense. With the second-gen models (P-2 and C-2), Aimpoint listened to feedback. Engi- neers moved the brightness buttons to prevent accidental adjustments (a common little annoyance on the first version), switched from CR1225 to CR2032 battery and gave the ho- using a sleeker, more modern look that just looks cool. And speaking of cool and new, Aim- point just dropped a fresh enclosed red dot – the COA! It made its big debut at 2025 SHOT Show in Vegas, and Europea got their first peek at Enforce Tac a month later. What's the buzz about the COA? Well, it's noticeably lighter and more S T O R Y : M I C H A Ł S I T A R S K I P H O T O : A I M P O I N T THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: AIMPOINT COA www.fragoutmag.com
