The fact you were training low light in the rain is more than enough proof displaying your love for the craft and taking your duty seriously. Much respect.
Lol that doesn’t sound like a blast to you? Doesn’t sound like a bad time at all, actually preferred IMHO. I miss living in colorado man so much, Im in florida and ir sucks now (moved 2 years ago). We had so many woods we shot in, places out to 700-800 meters no problem. When I built my first ever precision rifle 12 years ago (savage model 10 308 hs precision with leupold mark 4 4.5-14 LRT M1) my buddy and I would get in snow suits and go shooting from 3-6pm as it went from dusk to night in blizzards. That was the best time ever, hands would get cold AF and needed to warm up in the car from time to time, but night shooting or rain/cold weather shooting adds a level of fun that you can’t have any other way
Most of my latest range days were rain trainings, once at night. But Im not popular so nobody notices 😞
@@erykpiotr4605 hahaha
@@user-mj1vb8jr6j Trust me it sounds like a great time, but you got to try understanding most officers or deputies have no care or they train so much they get complacent. I've been watching him for years no issue with putting in the work. Its commendable. Not saying it's bad to train hard or in wet conditions.
He has no choice..: That’s just a western Washington winter evening…😂
I bought the acro based off of you’re orginal video on it and I have had mine for 2 years and around 25k rounds been through many classes and range days also is my daily carry and I have had no issues and love it and all my buddys love it and have convinced few of them to get one as well.love the videos keep it up!
Same here one of my acros has roughly 40k rounds on it. Absolutely love it. Been my edc for 2 years and just got it refurbished by aimpoint. Hopefully I will be able to get similar round counts through my other acros
Just curious if you carry appendix or are LEO and carry OWB. Curious if it’s practical as a concealed carry option
@@Thesheriff1776 I carry appendix using a trex arms side car with a kore essentials belt
@@johnbrooks6003nice, I have the same exact setup. Going to try out the acro then
@@Thesheriff1776 i CCW with mine. keep in mind the handgun is many, many times larger than the optic and even though the acro is larger than most pistol optics it is still not that big in the grand sceme of things.
I have a strong admiration for who you are what you do.
You are appreciated.
I’ve got 4 P2’s and run them on patrol. Minor problem with one, went from 30 degree outside to 80 degree indoor range with SUPER high humidity. Got a small amount of condensation on the rear window, but didn’t even notice it was there till my range sesh was over. Figured why not send it back, aimpoint set me a new one. Love it.
I decided to get the Acro from watching the first video you posted on channel about it. I have astigmatism, with the Acro I’m able to see the dot well with very little bloom with my eye sight. I bought one and put it on a Walther PDP SD. Great combination in my opinion.
You have good taste
RCR is my new favorite duty optic. My ACRO P2 was replaced under warranty. The RMR-HD is pretty dope 2
I’d trade my P-2 for an RCR in a second
I carry the RMR HD and I’m as big as a fan as you can be. That front word facing light sensor is a game changer.
If Trijicon war release a V2 of the RCR that has that front word facing sensor that would be the new king of enclosed emitters.
I bought an Acro p1 in 2020 after seeing you recommend it, and I’ve run the absolute piss out of it since. Absolutely love it. I’ve just gotten used to swapping batteries on the first of every month
Ive been carrying a g17 with an acro p2 for about a year now. Absolutely love it and don’t see it print anymore than my other Glocks with the rmr.
Love these videos! I work in public safety and use the Holosun 509t. Great optic but still have had issues.
What issues did you have? Ive heard of the moisture inside the lenses and some fish eye
Same experience with the Acro P2. Immediately noticed how its shape seems to improve your alignment and how its size, shape, weight, smooths out the slide. especially on a G17. Absolute favorite pistol optic.
Thank you for your service. Many of my family members are now retired LE. I grew up training at Park95 for SPD, getting to train in their Kill House (Sim Round House) and training ICC.
I appreciate all you do. My father was a tactical shooting instructor for SPD and now I am following this passion of training and sharpening my skills. Love your content brother and I cannot thank you enough for your service. God Bless and Stay safe brother🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
i watched 1:32 worth of black screen video just to make sure i didn't miss anything Mojo.
Sir. Thanks for all the great information. I like your jacket the 1/4 zip with the pockets. Could you tell me just what it is?
Did you ever find out what jacket that is?
@@jonathanortega4783 Looks like a Helion Type B Pullover from Defense Mechanisms
I need that glock/staccato rapid force holster!! Love the video per usually!
I had to send one of My ACROs back 2x, they sent me an entirely new unit after that. The problems I had were a sealant leak and a piece of plastic in the tube. However, it has to be said, neither of those defects prevented the dot from functioning fully. In any case, even if something happens, the dot will still function.
I need that glock/staccato rapid force holster!! Keep them type of videos coming.
Mil spec is on a completely different tier of skill with multiple platforms! It is astonishing like stop and stare mouth open heavy breathing. 😳
Love the p2 but 3 of 5 had to be replaced and the one Steiner MPS I bought has been trucking away.
I’ll probably revisit the acro on the next update.
What happened to the 3 you had issue with? Glass or seal issues?
@@shadowblade232 2 got moister on the rear lens and 1 allowed Lucas gun oil that spilled in a bag to get into the enclosed housings front lens. I will say warranty was super fast each time *about a week turn around to my door* and were complete replacements… I kept one but others that came back from warranty I sold to a few locals
I carry a p2 on duty and like it just fine on an m&p 2. The only downside is battery life. I run my dot bright, usually 1 notch down from max during the day and 3 from max after dark.
I've had it about a year and had to change batteries 3 times already (duracell procell).
Other than that it's great. I also find the dot more easily and reliably with a closed emitter and carrying iwb with my holosun eps is much easier to keep clean than my old 507c.
PB3 and 509T are great choices as well. I have well over 6k though my 509T and no issues whatsoever.
just picked up a p2 for my PCC, enjoying it so far.
I carry a closed emitter on duty. HOWEVER, I have never had issues with the open emitters. Thousands of rounds in below freezing, rain, snow, 100°+, dirt, sand, ect. If I got another duty gun, idk that I would spend the extra money on a closed emitter. They are great in theory, but I don't think my use is hard enough to warrant it's possible benefits.
Dan Smith in my opinion is one of the best red dot instructors out there. Best red dot class I’ve taken
I have a SRO on my shadow systems, and I love it! I’ve used it on a FNX-45 Tac, but it’s only got about 200 rounds through it with the SRO on top. I used to have a holosun 507C on top, but ended up selling it like a doofus. Oh I finally got to use an aim point micro on a Glock 45 and it feels more natural to acquire the dot even though the sight window is way smaller (to me) than the SRO. I’m hoping to get a staccato and throw the macro on top (hopefully) soon. I need to find a way to go to your instruction classes, so I can get better as a shooter.
ACRO looks nice, my only issue is how expensive they are. I get justifying it if you open carry daily as part of your job, but for those of us who don't it's a tough sell when there is so many good budget options these days. Holosun is great, and I even run a cheapo Primary Arms red dot on a 45 degree offset, has worked flawlessly for me thus far, has aimpoint like battery life, and has been very durable. Hard to justify $600+ on a optic these days, especially when that money can be put into ammo and more training.
They can be had for less than $500 if you look for sales
Got mine for 475, u just gotta look around
@@TonySoprano-on5iu That's at least slightly competitive compared to the 650-750 I usually see. Although I have to re-iterate, I have been using that $200 primary arms dot, it has shake awake, Night vision compatible, very durable. Hard sell even at 475 in comparison to what you can get for cheap these days. Even at that price I would still go with the 200 PA and $275 ammo, but that's just me. I get not wanting to cheap out on optics, but I think these modern Chinese made options are genuinely very well built and reliable compared to what existed 10+ years ago.
@@-Zevin- yea I would NOT pay $600 for that lol. I just seen it for 475 and jump on it REALLY quick. I haven’t tried primary arms honestly, might have to take a look and tbh I don’t run optics on my carry guns, I use optics just for range purposes lol
I just bought an ACRO a week ago. Just waiting on the MOS plate. I’m excited to use it.
Don’t recommend the MOS plates, those MIM parts tend to break. Get a CHPWS plate or another after market plate.
Cool video and great info! Just curious, have you tred the trijicon RCR yet? Also, what jacket is that?
It never rains here in west texas... its interesting how much environmental factors influence gear preference and training habits
What halfzip jacket is mojo wearing?!?
need to know, as well!!!
HELION TYPE B from DM is what it seems to be.
Im a huge fan of the acro. But recently I stumbled upon the RCR and I just wanted to recommend you try it if you already haven’t. It reminds me a lot of the acro.
Anyone know what pullover jacket that is?
Defense Mechanisms HELION TYPE B PULLOVER
Can someone link that jacket/hoodie he’s wearing
Great vid mojo thank you. Didn't know you were running AlienGear holsters. Thought the were always Safailand holsters on your belts.
Interesting. Two of my Acros failed pretty quickly in the rain. Got warranty replacements and sold them.
The elevation linkage broke on my Acro p2 as well. Aimpoint made it right though and sent me a new one.
My P2 was foggy inside, when I talked to Aimpoint, they said they switched to machines installing and sealing instead of actual employees. the told me it was being repaired as we speak.
Holosun 509T with the C&H precision plate is fucking mint if you want to run a closed emitter and not pay for or wait for the Aimpoint
A large window is less for finding your dot, at least for a serious shooter, but more too allow you to track your dot in recoil.
That’s approximately 10k worth of ammo 😅
At good prices
@@joelapplin88 100% on the low end
More like 12k at the cheapest I can find buying 1500 at a time . Pallets are a bit cheaper
Not gun related, but what brand fleece are you wearing?
I'd love to hear your opinion on the Trijicon RCR
My p2 is still rockin at like 16k, i know some people have killed em but i have no complaints, tried the 509t it just wasnt it for the pistol, it ended up on my pcc. P2 ganggang!
Ey brother. Mind if you tell me what jacket you are rocking? That aside, thank you for great informative video.
What pullover jacket is that?
Had the same question lol
@@iLLESTKiD671 I found it, its the Defense Mechanisms HELION TYPE B PULLOVER
Thank you brother!! Appreciate that
13:46 we needed Micah
I don’t know if some of the training from the b roll is department funded or not, but if it is, I hope I get to work for a department that cool one day. Currently been working for fuddy agencies but I have my eyes on one that actually cares about training.
I've really enjoyed mine. Only about 3k on it. I do carry it
Definitely been wanting to try the acro more and more after watching your videos. I do have to ask though, what jacket are you wearing in the video? I need to pick me one up for the shitty weather we have in Ohio.
could you give us a dry fire video one day
what jacket is that mojo!
S&W M&P 9 full size fit in that alien gear holster?
Mojo who makes that jacket? LE Acro gang here as well
I too want the deers on that swacket!.
I just want to know what jacket this is.
I know people currently love to shit on the ACRO P2, but after 12k rounds through mine, it is literally my favorite pistol optic I've ever owned. Nothing compares.
What about the scratches on the glass?
Would you recommend running the rear sights in front of the Acro? Asking because of the size difference compare to other optics.
@milspec what’s the cost you’re wearing?
Same question I got
Can anyone advise. I just got my first acro for my G19 edc. I put it on a C&H plate but ive been hearing horror stories about them. Should I just get the Forward Observation plate for the Acro? I haven’t shot with it yett.
So for conceal carry if you had to only have one. Acro vs rmr?
Mojo I’m from Washington pretty close to Tacoma and was wondering what’s spots you guys shoot at can’t find somewhere as flat as where I always see your vids!
Id love to pick your brain about the Holosun 509t. What's your thoughts and experience with it? I've just jumped on the red dots on pistols bandwagon last year and picked up the 509t because I wanted a closed emitter and I love the Eotech 🍩 reticle. I've still got a LONG way to go before I feel comfortable with the dot to where I would carry it for edc
Does anyone know what jacket he’s wearing
Just out of curiosity would you try out the swampfox kraken closed emitter red dot. It’s like the aimpoint acro just more budget friendly
Hey Bro its good to see you back at it!
Mojo always staying drippy *literally*
What jacket is that
Also curious!
Ive got one forward mounted on a TA02 acog, and one on my glock 49. I love this dumb little mailbox.
Great info as always!
Would be interesting to see a comparison between the acro and a holosun eps.
When is the alien gear holster are coming with the staccato and glock holster?
I've run an ACRO on my M&P and ive had it sheer the screws from the slide 4 times now. I've had it put on by a gunsmith 3 times and to the same effect. I've used the B&T plate and the CH&P plate. Anyone else have this problem?
Are the glocks cut for the dot or are they MOS? I use a rapid force holster for work and curious about fitment
How do you feel about the trijicon RCR?
How do you choose which duty gun you want to carry each shift between the 2 or 3 that you use?
What recoil system are you using for your Glock 47 with the Parker mountain machine comp I have the same thing and I'm having issues with trying to find the right recoil system
Where can I buy this pullover you’re wearing!?!
Who did your slide work freaking that slide looks bad ass .
Can we speak about mojo mustache and how it is always on point
police issue😊
how's the Trijicon RCR?
@Milspec_Mojo
What mounting plate would you suggest for the acro to mount to a glock 19 MOS. I took the glock mos instructor class. Now I need to get the gear. Thank you for any help
Love my Agency provided ACRO P2 that being said I wouldn't pay out of my own pocket to have one lol
Is Alien Gear making duty holster for 1911/2011 pistols.
Need a alien gear G34 holster asap
What jacket is that? Looking for a rain duty jacket to wear under my carrier…
What is the timeline for the staccato/prodigy holster? Been waiting for one to drop I watched all your updates on the RDF for the first year before I pulled the trigger now its almost exclusively what I run except safariland for my prodigy because they don't have one yet.
I went into the closed emitter rabbit hole and ended up buying a Steiner MPS off of r/gafs. I'll assume that there will be a lot of people in the same boat that will watch this video as part of their "which closed emitter optic do i want" research project so here's my 2 cents.
As of now, the only viable choices in my opinion are the Aimpoint Acro P-2 and the Steiner MPS. The Trijicon RCR is backordered/out of stock for another 4 months as of this comment. I even called every gun store in a 30 mile radius and asked and all of them said even the distributors are not getting any for 4 months ish. Holosun is garbage crap if you can afford better, it is adequate for light use if you can't afford anything better (though at that point I'd say spend your money on ammo and training), and it is un-American.
All of the optics, from hours of online "research", have had issues. All of them have had cases of mounting issues, fogging inside the lenses, lenses shattering entirely, etc. Some have had these more frequently than others but I can say with reasonable certainty that for high quality giants like Aimpoint and Steiner, the issues have been fixed, or are at least being fixed.
This is not a surprise, plenty of products in general will improve over time if the company/brand decides to improve them, but the problem here is they don't really talk about it. That being said, it seems like a lot ("a lot" being relative) of cases of Acro P-2's failing were in the beginning when the product was still very new, but I'm not seeing many or any new posts online of people posting their acro's failing.
Steiner MPS's have also had issues, albeit it seems like there are less cases of it than the P-2, but I can be reasonably sure that they improved the product over time as well.
So don't do what I did and spend hours of you life debating on it. If you have the money, get either, and go train. If the product turns out to suck, that will be apparent on it's own IF YOU TRAIN ENOUGH.
My issues with the Steiner MPS:
Mounting was interesting. I had to get a primary machine .150 height rmr to acro plate because I have a Shadow Systems DR920. Both the screws that mounted the plate to the gun, and the mounting screw on the steiner mps (apex clamp), for whatever reason, broke like 3 of my hex keys / torque bits / alan wrenches. No idea why. They weren't overtightened at all. Oh well. I got them mounted and havent had issues since.
Other people have mentioned the mounting screw shearing (and mojo even has a cold start where him and the gang talk about their own mounting screws shearing). The manual says to tighten the mounting screw to about 13-23 inch lbs. ish. Mine is currently mounted to approximately "hand tighten + a little more" and hasn't moved. I used 242 blue loctite.
Probably the biggest issue that people have been talking about with the Steiner MPS is the battery life. They boast something like 13,000 hours, but this really isn't true. Everyone agrees that it's more like anywhere from 2 weeks - 6 months, if left on at all times and probably on a pretty high brightness setting.
In my opinion, it is a non-issue. The bigger issue is the rather strange battery it uses. But an optic like this is probably best suited to a "duty" gun. Which means you're probably not needing this to be on at all times, at least not literally 24/7. For me personally, it turns on only during dry fire and live fire, that's it. You are probably not conceal carrying this optic which means most other scenarios where it's not a ccw gun but you want it ready to go at any time, you will probably be better off with a carbine anyway.
That's my 2 cents.
Curious if you have spent any time behind the Steiner MPS.
7360rds vs alien gear rapid force Which one should I choose?
Solid video bro ; good info
@ 15 seconds in, how did your light get activated?
patiently waiting on the Glock/Staccato holster video please lol
What’s that TQ mount on the front of one of your Rapid Force holsters?
I have a P2 I'm getting ready to mount on a Triarc 2011. What is the best RMR to acro plate? Will I have to remove the rear sights?
Was waiting on a video like this
That’s what my agency got a contract for recently
How do I get a 2011 into an Alien Gear RF Duty holster?
Waiting on a Dawson plate to put an ACRO P2 on my staccato Heritage
How did he get the staccato to fit in that holster?
Hey man, I just saw your most recent video on the aim point acro. I just wanted to know are you back up in Wa? If you are and you are open to it I’m part of a group of military,LE and civilian guys that go out at least once a month to either the capital st Forrest or mt baker Forrest to train called discovery daddies. Most if not all of us have been following you since the early days of your RUclips and it would be fucking awesome if you could come out sometime or at least shout us out. The founder of our group is a prior marine like us and works with a veteran nonprofit to help vets and he might loose his funding because not enough people want to go skiing/wake boarding and it would be hella cool if you could help him out. I doubt you will see this but I’m still a huge fan and I love what you do man, thx-Josh
Love it man. Also, ditch WA State and come to Idaho.
Milspec is cool but can we get one video of like NFA Mojo or AOW Mojo where you run a bill drill with a mk19 40mmm
