I have spend the past three years talking about EOTech. I think I might have been the first guy on this board to push EOTech in a big way. I have gone from no one would even take my side of the debat to half and half on Aimpimpand EOThing. I think we all have come a long way.

Oh YEA! Well, my daddy could kick your daddy's ass. So there! Seriously guys, this whole thing has been beat to death. Even Lumpy agrees that the EoTech is a great optic and that he just prefers the TryToAimpoint. |

Read Pat Rogers (Retired NYPD ESU Sgt. / Gunsite Carbine Instructor / Civilian contractor for Force Recon / Pick up the next issue of SWAT magazine if you don't know who he is) and Frogman (US Navy SEAL) responses:
EO Tech? I think not Other opinons EO Tech More EO Tech Electrical Problems? Hmmmmm Say it ain't ture I guess I'm not the only SWAT cop who has seen more than one EO Tech failure Must be an anti-EO Tech conspiracy It was either Pat Roger's or a SWAT cop from Ontario, CA who said "The EO Tech is a decent sight, but it is the Aimpiont's weaker sister".......Couldn't have summed it up better myself from my personal experiences.

And I'm sure if I had the time and desire I could find just as many quotes from "industry experts" that say the same thing about the Aimpoint.  Give it a rest. |

Ken Good, Pat Roger and Jeff Gonzales think the Aimpoint is tougher, whereas John Holschen of Insights training centre, currently in Iraq, is one of the real pros who is in favour of the Eotech.

I've got both and it depends on the gun I'm using. For daytime use on an M4 I like the Aimpoint. Through NV, nothing comes close to Eotech. Using a PVS14, looking through an M2 is like looking through a tunnel. With the Eotech, you don't see anything but green background with a reticle floating out in space, very cool. Some guns can co-witness with one and not the other. So, I have a few of each. Sorry, didn't mean to sound like Kerry. I just like both optics.

No poll needed.....You can tell the difference between an EO Tech guy and a Aimpoint guy just by looking at them Aimpoint guy:  EO Tech guy:        **Disclaimer: The above photos were for educational and visual instruction purposes only**    Semper Fi Jeff |

The guy on the right with the Glock looks like he's about to splatter what little brains he has on the rest of the geek squad.

I can't believe this is starting again. Can any of you be satisifed with both optics are fine products and they are both serving our military and LEO with pride?? Deal with it, both optics are here to stay. We can do this till our face turn blue and it will not reslove anything. there is no need to quote others that maybe have made a name for themselves, it is what works for you that makes for the best optic choice. I will take my EOTech or aimpoint to a fight anytime of the day. hell, i will do it with my irons if i have to.

Hey, if you can convince a bunch of guys to walk off the side of a tall cliff with you, that still doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Jeff, i am not trying to convince anyone to jumpo off a clif, I just want to pass along the information I gathered. You should have your free mind and choice to pick what will work for you. and you still have the best looking guns on the web.

We (CF) are using the EOTECH's (552's) on our Carbines in Afghanistan - some of these have gone 18 months continuous duty (we don't have enough and they get passed along).
My buddy is running my Aimpoint M2 while I have a 552 - neither of us feel under equipped. *for what I am doing now the EOTECH is better than my TA31 ACOG. |

I traded four Eothings that I bought on the EE ($1100 total; at one time they were cheap) for a new 1000 gallon tank full of propane. My wife was so happy with that deal that she let me buy Aimpoints.

Yet another reason to say away from EO Tech (and get an Aimpoint instead)
EO Tech makes Cav Arms lower break into pieces Jeff |
