What I posted in the other ACRO thread.

Cliff Notes:
- Made it through burn down no issues (initially 500 rounds in 3 min, including full auto; It was also raining). 2000 rounds total.
- Protective window broke / lens cracked / frame dented on second drop test (10:38 in video). This drop test wasn't even on solid concrete like the other optics he tested. it was on a rock on the grass. You can see the rock absorb some of the impact as it rotates upon being struck. So this is an easier test than the others he's done on solid concrete.
- Acro still functioned and additional drops (on the rock), shooting, barrier manipulations didn't make the crack worse. Held zero when checked at end of testing.
- He mentions condensation in the optic after loss of protective window but it's not exactly clear where. He says "no undue condensation" got in and that the emitter area stayed clear - but the condensation that was present after loss of protective window didn't impede use

Overall not bad but not exactly confidence inspiring either. Also wished it had a auto brightness adjust feature.

Nothing wrong with the holosun....I've ran T1 micros on my Glocks for quite some time and I'm just a fan....I also like running new gear and vetting it myself. I like the Acro...same size basically as the RMR with sealed emitter....So my question is....Why not? Not only that, but when I can get one close to $500 to my door, again, why not?

And just because Cowen likes the Holosun, doesn't mean it is as good as Aimpoint or Trijicon etc....Not going to get into a brand war here or fanboy for one or the other....But im not going to run a Holosun on a duty or work gun....But that's just me, you do you!

A brand War? Ypou must have misunderstood?  I thought you might know something I didn't and was looking for more of a reason to make me want one. I don't go by Sage's Opinion : I actually think bashing something on Rocks isn't even fair for every Optic :  But more to teh point : I was just hoping you might have more of a reason besides I just want one. Thanks for replying . Look forward to your thoughts when you get it.

If you still haven’t found one, hit up Strohman enterprises. They got me my Acro quickly and were great to work with

You got yours from them already?  When did you put in your order?

I put in an order with them on March 7th and haven't heard back yet.

Not yet. My slide should be back from ATEi within the next week here and then I’ll give it the full run down compared to my rmr type 2 and my recently sold DPP.

I tried to find my old email, but naturally can’t. I probably ordered around the same time, maybe a little after you. But I got mine a few weeks ago. I would shoot them an email. Their CS was great for me. When I bothered them with an email, I usually had a response within a few hours.

I emailed them about it a week or two ago.  On the 22nd they replied saying their shipment was arriving that day and I would see an invoice that day.  I haven't heard anything from them since then, I'll email them again I guess.

Probably just an oversight. For sure hit me up again. I never got a shipping notice. I paid my invoice and like 2-3 days later it was on my porch
