Aimpoint Acro P-1 Guns & Ammo 2019 Optic of the Year

Guns & Ammo Magazine has honored the Aimpoint Acro P-1 with their Optic of The Year Award for 2019.

January 28, 2020 By Aimpoint

The award was recently presented at the Aimpoint booth during the 2020 SHOT Show. Following the award, Aimpoint debuted a video starring Larry Vickers that showed the Acro P-1 withstanding an impressive series of physical tests including being dragged behind a vehicle, dropped repeatedly on concrete, and surviving explosive blasts.

With its fully enclosed optical channel and sealed electronics, the Acro P-1 has raised the performance of pistol sights to an entirely new level. The Acro P-1 has been repeatedly proven to stand up to the elevated levels of shock and vibration generated by over 20,000 rounds of .40S&W ammunition operating flawlessly under challenging environmental conditions.

“The Acro P-1 is highly versatile in its applications and offers unmatched endurance for a miniature red dot sight” said Eric Poole, Editor of Guns & Ammo. “This innovative optic will ensure that Aimpoint continues to remain the manufacturer that sets the standard among electronic reflex sights and has fully earned the distinction of Guns & Ammo 2019 Optic of the Year.”
