Why would you zero a compact handgun to 150 yds?

This guy stuck in the 1990s? Mentions "cyberpunk" twice.

That’s just stupid.

Maybe it's actually 150 feet (50 yards) and he just misspoke/misheard? That'd be more reasonable.

Interesting, but I'd prefer some kind of cover for the glass when in the folded position.

If I am shooting at you 150 yards away with a pistol of any kind I assure you, you are safer from me then I am from the gun potentially exploding.

Seriously though what is the purpose. The dot should be your primary sighting system with irons as a back up. I would think in all but the oddest storage needs my dot would always be in the up position anyway.

A normal low mounted dot seems more useful.

I mean I’m no gunfighter/operator/LEO so maybe I’m just missing something.

Well since the rear sight is now mounted crazy high I think the 150 yard zero comment is probably correct.

I love innovation. Not all innovation takes us in the proper direction.

This one seems to be a less than situation. It would have to be below the irons to even interest me and then there still is the issue of why I would want the optic to be the backup.

Reminds me of the strings sold to tie onto your wireless headphones so you don’t lose them.

Optics are bigger than irons. Now trying to make it so optics can not be bigger than irons. Seems like a solution where there isn’t a problem. I didn’t see in the video if deployment was automatic, I certainly don’t wanna have to deploy a red dot manually.

Although I’m far from convinced of the value at all of an optical sight on a concealed carry gun, if one must have one, it seems to me that reducing the size of the sight would be beneficial for concealment and convenient carry. The problem, though, is that its design would make it even more likely that the lens would become covered with dirt, debris, etc., than many other sights’. Then is the question of whether it could get gunked-up to the point of not deploying at all.

Not, of course, that anyone would fail to conscientiously clean the sight at the end of every carry day.

If small size or low profile is a priority, it seems to me that something like the Deltapoint Micro makes more sense than this.
