Great review. Was lucky enough to pick up a P2 and live mine. Really enjoy your videos. Wasn’t a fan of trying to defend Triarc’s lead times though. Nobody else in the industry has 12 month lead times on AR’s. Not even close. If the forums are any indicator, Triarc is BLEEDING customers right now due to their unrealistic lead times and seemingly no concern for fixing it. Just cancelled my own order a month or so ago after waiting 3 months past my given lead time with no communication from them.
Been running SRO in CO for a couple years. One thing I noticed with the P2 is that if I get sloppy on presentation, finding the dot is actually faster because the shape of the thing drives you to the dot- having that fore and aft reference actually helps indexing. So that is a definite positive. A smaller side benefit is a lot less false dots than the SRO when shooting towards low sun angles.
Unfortunately, P2s have been rolling off the supply line A LOT slower than Aimpoint anticipated, which makes these hard to put through their paces. Looking forward to getting a hold of one, however.
@@magnusred2945 No. A lot of people are cancelling orders. I personally didn't order one yet because of the traffic jam of a release. Was waiting to see them in stock or in the wild to pull the trigger.
They are in full production however, they are fulfilling Mil and LEO contracts first due to contract deadlines. Once those are done they will be easily available.
Losing the rear sight is an issue dependent on which pistol you are using. On the Glock and Sig p320 the iron sights can be kept. Also on the safariland holster just move the plastic cover up one notch and it will cover the acro.
Had the same issue with fitment of my Steiner MPS and the Safariland series of holsters. Simple fix. Move the cover to the top mounting hole versus the bottom one. Cover closes fine. Depending on firearm model, actual RDS, etc the draw is sometimes not as smooth due to the way the sight interacts with the interior shape of the cover but it will close. Give it a shot before going the Alien Gear route...
I have a P1 for 2 years now, and I have it on for 24/7 and I two Aimpoint ACRO and both the battery is good from 12-16 months. I don't know how people keep saying that the battery on good for month.
You can move the hood on the Safariland up to those two holes that are above the two holes that they are currently in and it will close and lock in place with no issue.
As far as the losing the rear sight, check out ATEi m, they milled my M&P 2.0 for the 509t with his own rear iron sight forward, in front of the sight and it's a aluminum/metal piece that aligns with the front sight and it's perfect because I personally like the BUIS out of my way with as much clear glass as possible. Would like to see a vid of the Acro P2 vs My favorite the 509t.
I have tried it with sights forward and I don’t personally like especially if the glass gets dirty is near impossible to clean. But whatever works best for you is most important. I compare the 509 and p2 here I’d take the p2 over the 509 if money and availability is no problem. The 509 is the probably the best for the price on the market.
Great video. I have two of these, one on my X5 legion and one on my Gen 5 Glock 17. I love this sight. I would say the design gives the dot a 3D feel like it’s floating in the mailbox rather than being projected. I had to write a review and was holding off watching any other opinions until I was done writing my review. I haven’t turned mine off for 3 months on both and the battery is going strong. Thanks for the video it was great.
Anyone wanting the Acro P-2 and also want iron sight should look at the Tango Down mounting plate that has the rear irons built into the mounting plate. They make quality products.
I don't know why you didn't get one... but safariland actually shipped me an optics cover specific to the acro like a month after I got my holster and I didn't even request it. Might be worth contacting them.
The hinge on the hood can be moved up to the two pre drilled holes that are already in place. After moving the hood it will lock and close properly over unit.
Triarc is overrated man. Just get a Daniel defense, Colt, FN, BCM, LWRCI, LMT, HK, KAC, SOLGW. No gun is worth waiting more than a month for. Just stay away from poormetto state armory.
Don't get a triarc. I've heard of their barrels being shot out in under 2k rounds. They're not good values either. If you're set on a gun in that price range, get a Daniel defense
@@illeniumtrilogyclips4034 I meant get my hands on an aimpoint acro p2, I already have the Triarc. It's a very soft shooting sub moa gun that is very well made. If you want a relatively customized DI build, the Triarc is the way to go. If you want something off the shelf well the market is full of choices but look, supply is tight. It's hard to get your hands on anything whether LMT, HK, KAC or whatever you think is top of the hill. It also depends on what you want. In lieu of an HK I got an LWRC a5 short-stroke piston which I now think is a better gun for the price point than the HK. I also have a PoF Renegade Plus (which is an adjustable gas block DI). If I'm being honest, the latter two are more innovative (and my favorites) but there isn't much you can customize on those rifles straight from the manufacturer.
I have had my Sig Sauer romeo 1 pro on my Sig m18 for about 13 months now and I have no complaints at all on that optic. Sig Sauer just came out with the romeo 2 and I absolutely love the features on that one.
I love US companies and Trijicon has treated me well. However, the size of that Aimpoint and the drawbacks to the SRO at twice or three times the price makes my Holosun 509 seem awesome.
@@jimmybrodriguez That seems to be the direction the industry is going as far as optic and mounting styles. Even at the MSRP it's not far off from what the SRO is going for nowadays.
Literally pausing the video to comment and say thank you for talking about how you feel about it with astigmatism. This is a big issue for me and something I have to consider buying red dots. I just got a new duty gun and I'm looking hard at the acro.
3 things I would like to say: Forget backup irons, learn to shoot guillotine. Secondly, look into the 509tx2, the glass is noticeably better than the first gen 509t. It still isn't on the acro's glass level, but considering you can buy 2 of them for the price of one acro p2, and all the other features that come with it, that is what I have been going with. If you can find a steiner mps for around 400-425 I think it is a contender. But for 475-500 I think I would rather not mess with it and just jump to a p2
I messed with a Steiner and I don’t think it’s better than the 509 nor the p2. Within 100 rounds it had moisture inside the glass. That’s a sample size of one but I’d need to see some more out in the wild first.
@@jimmybrodriguez interesting! Thanks for that input. Yeah I just have about 60 minutes with one from a friend. But that's not a good start for sure. Thanks for all you do Jimmy
I haven't seen a kraken out yet. And I don't know of an enclosed emitter from sightmark. Which model are you referring to exactly? Not that I would give sightmark the time of day until they prove themselves more.
Did you try moving the hood to the rear holes to see if it would close? Personally, I don't run my hoods but I also don't shoot a lot of steel so you make a valid point with the spall. Just curious if moving the hood rearward would allow it to close?
Didn't see your comment before posting mine but moving the cover to the top-most mounting hole worked for both my M&P and Glock with Steiner MPSs mounted. Cover closes fine.
I’ve had one backordered through optics planet for months and the ETA keeps getting delayed everyday and it’s gotten so bad there’s been times when I’ve actually forgotten I placed the backorder 😑😑😑
That's because optics planet is ran by a bunch of clowns they did that to me and literally everyone I know that had ordered from them I won't even look at their website anymore
It will take time for manufactures and aftermarket to catch up but it’s personally an optic I wouldn’t mind permanently running. I just wish I could retro fit one to my TRI11 commander.
Chucks Class is the shit. Just ordered up a DPO from TAG with Stacc ports . I intend to send it back to Vulcan for a dedicated cut ,but ,Im still uncertain . I put a lot of weight on Chambers customs opinion and he is pretty tepid in regards to the Acro and how it affects the balance of the firearm and the front glass gets fouled relatively easily ..your thoughts?
There was no negative changes in my option and the gun ran great. Maybe on $5-8k gun like chambers it can be finicky but again zero negative results on the tri11 or staccato. And in full transparency there was a chambers gun that malfunctioned so much on day 1 I let them borrow my tri11 for day 2.
@@ACGBLR it was in a post on instagram on an account I cant remember off the top of my head .Someone had tagged him, hoping he would tool up for the Acro and he mentioned its last on the list and gave this answer . I dont want to speak for Joe . This is how I retained it . Any thing said inaccurately is my fault. I think its still an interesting question .
@@jimmybrodriguez I have a Chambers gun . I have attended classes with them present and used hard .I love that pistol .That said ? I ordered above mentioned pistol to transition from Glock To 2011 .
I carry a p320 xfull with romeo 1 pro as my edc gun. Do you think it's a good idea to switch to acro C-2? Is it comfort to carry in sidecar position? C-2 and P-2 are the same except the night vision options or I am wrong?
I’m more concerned with the fact that the housing looks very thick causing it to block a lot of the target outside of the optic window. How large of a factor is that?
I have a P1 on its way. The only difference I see is the battery life. However, for my purposes, I could care less about battery life. I turn my optics off when not in use. The P1 was the only one I could find in stock.
I would eventually like to get a Acro for my Staccato P and I was wondering based on how low it sits on a direct mil, do you think there will be any reliability issues after prolonged use for the Staccato?
I'm sure it's decent and rugged with the Aimpoint name on it. The M68 from my service days was rock solid. Not going to lie, it's a bit un-aesthetically pleasing though to me. In comparison to the smooth lines and cuts on that very nice handgun it almost looks out of place with the chunky box.
@@limasierraone7107 definitely a Glock - I know we shouldn’t care about how it looks but I do believe you should have something that you dig. I just picked up my staccato P DPO today and put on an RMR I personally like it
I need two. One for my personal g19 and the other for my personal 10.5 .300 blackout. Both you and I are LEO. If you could choose the Acro or 509 for duty, which one would you choose? Thanks for your review
I’m not LEO. I would choose the acro for duty for durability’s sake. The new version of the 509t may be better than the old in terms of durability but I haven’t had my hands on one yet. The acro is now my edc optic
@@jimmybrodriguez Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the identity. For some reason, I was under the impression you were LEO. And thanks for your other videos as well.The 10.5 I have is the Admfg. Love their rifles. I have the 12.5 ADM UIC MOD2 too.
I have astigmatism in my dominant eye and the only optic I've had an issue seeing clearly is the Holosun HS507C-X2-ACSS. I don't know if it's the green (I'm also a little colorblind) or what it is but I get a slight double chevron which mainly effects my accuracy at longer range precision shots.
I know it shouldn’t matter what it looks like but I like the open red dots better than the Mailboxes plus I don’t plan on dropping my gun in the mud!🤯🔫👎🏼
I've found that the 250 MOA circle on the ACSS Vulcan isn't as useful if you're already used to using an RDS on a pistol. I eventually turned it off and used only the chevron then eventually went back to a dot style RDS. The chevron's BDC is probably more useful on a PCC but it does do a little better for astigmatism than the RMR and SRO.
@@bunnyoperator Cool info. I’ve been in one stressful shooting situation. It opened my eyes to how the body works under stress. I like having the additional feedback, not for shooting at targets, but for shooting in unorthodox positions under stress. I loved my ACRO for shooting at the range.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor Totally get it. I can certainly help. I've simply found that I didn't need it and could naturally find the dot if I wasn't in-line with it even from non-target shooting positions. I've also tried it on a rifle, over bore and offset, and didn't need the 250 MOA circle there either. It becomes personal preference after the main benefit isn't needed anymore.

THANK YOU for putting a ACCRO on a 2011!!!
The hood on the holster can be adjusted with the 2nd set of holes
Or removed entirely if you really want to boogie 🤠
You have screw mounts further back on the holster for the hood, you can move the hood back and it will close and cover.
Im pretty sure you can move the optic hood up to the next screw hole and it should fit but I’m not 100% sure
That is correct. You can move the hinge system to the two holes that are above it and it will close and lock in place properly.
16:52 Can't you move the hood back to the next set of holes? I seem to remember seeing someone do that.
If you get an Agency Arms AOS system you can use the included sights to have your BUIS :)
Triarc established insane lead times, before the industry established insane lead times.

It definitely would look better on a glock or sig or anything more squared.
It’s grown on me but if people remember no one like the first pistol red dots too
@@limasierraone7107 definitely a Glock - I know we shouldn’t care about how it looks but I do believe you should have something that you dig. I just picked up my staccato P DPO today and put on an RMR I personally like it
@@jimmybrodriguez This is also true
Hitting the range in the Travis 6s I see you homie lol
I need two. One for my personal g19 and the other for my personal 10.5 .300 blackout. Both you and I are LEO. If you could choose the Acro or 509 for duty, which one would you choose? Thanks for your review
I’m not LEO. I would choose the acro for duty for durability’s sake. The new version of the 509t may be better than the old in terms of durability but I haven’t had my hands on one yet. The acro is now my edc optic
@@jimmybrodriguez Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the identity. For some reason, I was under the impression you were LEO. And thanks for your other videos as well.The 10.5 I have is the Admfg. Love their rifles. I have the 12.5 ADM UIC MOD2 too.
I have astigmatism in my dominant eye and the only optic I've had an issue seeing clearly is the Holosun HS507C-X2-ACSS. I don't know if it's the green (I'm also a little colorblind) or what it is but I get a slight double chevron which mainly effects my accuracy at longer range precision shots.
It's the green, I promise you. I have the exact same issue. I looked through a 509 ACSS at the shop(red) and it was crystal clear.
Hype from my viewpoint. I returned mine for a refund. The small window and bluish tint to the top of the glass was a no go for me.
My P1 has been on for 6 months on setting 6 and 7, so I have no idea where his one month battery came from!
I am going to change my rdps to the acro p2, once they are back in stock.
Only thing missing would have been a shake awake feature. Other than that.....best RDS on the market.
Shake awake is only a "feature" if your optic has poor battery life.
please mount it to a shadow 2 optic ready or glock mos or czp10c optic
ready.
Our dept just issued these to us on our glock 43's. I love it.
With the Travis Scott Js on nice
Would you get this or the Sig Romeo 2? I want the best optic quality and am still considering a DeltaPoint Pro as I’ve only ever run RMRs
This lol
You should do a follow up review. 2 years later…
Which red dot has the brightest dot to you?
I know it shouldn’t matter what it looks like but I like the open red dots better than the Mailboxes plus I don’t plan on dropping my gun in the mud!🤯🔫👎🏼
Everyone has their preference. Lint and water are more common for most people to obstruct open emitters
I really appreciate your review of the P2 but who in their right mind would put that monstrosity on such a studly gun like the Staccato!!!!
Staccato is 9mm…. Total Teeny tiny pea shooter. 10mm or death.
I really wish they’d make a green dot version.
Can we get some other reticles??? I like the circle dot, 6 MOA, and am interested in the ACSS Vulcan. It’d be cool to see some other options.
I've found that the 250 MOA circle on the ACSS Vulcan isn't as useful if you're already used to using an RDS on a pistol. I eventually turned it off and used only the chevron then eventually went back to a dot style RDS. The chevron's BDC is probably more useful on a PCC but it does do a little better for astigmatism than the RMR and SRO.
@@bunnyoperator Cool info. I’ve been in one stressful shooting situation. It opened my eyes to how the body works under stress. I like having the additional feedback, not for shooting at targets, but for shooting in unorthodox positions under stress. I loved my ACRO for shooting at the range.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor Totally get it. I can certainly help. I've simply found that I didn't need it and could naturally find the dot if I wasn't in-line with it even from non-target shooting positions. I've also tried it on a rifle, over bore and offset, and didn't need the 250 MOA circle there either. It becomes personal preference after the main benefit isn't needed anymore.
Do you by chance know if know if I’d be good using the 25in lb fix it sticks for torque on the Acro?
The manual states 2.2 ft-lb max. 25 in-lb = 2.08 ft-lb.
Nice review! Subbed.
Video starts at 3:50
There’s literal chapter sections that gives you time stamps for everything
Jim, u wearing a seamaster?
Is that a Staccato P or C2 in the video?
why wouldn't you mention one of the most important subject, (IN MY OPINION, ) shake awake!! unless I missed it!
Dumb question. But does this acro p1 and p2 have the same footprint as a 509t
No
I don't know about holosun. I've seen breakages with poor customer service. Also made in china. Personally for me, I'm going for the alternative..
It's $1200 in Australia
Damn, RIP bro. Australia was cooked the moment they caved and gave up the guns
