A Veteran Owned Company, The DDHB Red Dot Reflex Sight, Scope Optic and Substitute for Holographic red dot Sights, mil-spec 1913 Rails only. (Not for Pistols)

This Dagger Defense DDHB Red Dot has set atop my AR-15 for the last 7 months for about 1500 rounds in several different types of lighting, weather and rough handling. It's been on and off the factory 1913 Picatinny rail of my Stag Arms M4 Model 1 several times. It's been used for several robust days of carbine training - civilian stuff, but several hours at a time, in and out of the sun, cold, hot, raining, etc. The rifle is on a sling for much of this training, often two-gun, and shooting on the move, often with physical contact (pushing and shoving) from classmates, etc. Basically, the gun and the sight get banged around moderately. I have yet to land on the gun from a fall or crash into something on a full run, with my 235 pound frame, so i don't know how it (or I) will respond to that kind of impact.So far, this VERY affordable reflex red dot is a champ. Both green and red are still working fine. The intensity control is intact, as are the four different reticle settings. It doesn't eat batteries. The lens shows no imperfections or problems. I can't speak to the MOA of the single red dot reticle (I think it's somewhere around 2, and as other reviewers have noted, there's some slight fuzziness/blur in respect to the sharpness of the reticle image.) But I'm consistently on paper/steel with A/B/C hits at 100 yards, standing, with this $50ish device. That seems to be "combat/tactically effective" to me. For close quarter stuff, it does exactly what it's supposed to.The only recommendation I can provide so far, with this device is to add some Loctite to the rail/mounting screws. And you may possibly need a riser to bring the dot a bit higher off the rail. With my current fixed front sight, it's not a problem for me. And I don't try to use this sight for shooting over 100 yards. I believe the point in a reflex sight is for quick target acquisition and short distances?(I've never had to use this device or any other to save my own life, or take another's. I defer, with respect and gratitude, to any service person or law enforcement persons who has used this in real life situations. But I can speak to it's durability and overall functionality in multiple non-professional training and hobby shooting sessions.)

First, outstanding shipping and service from the Amazon delivery driver!! Second, this my third optic from Dagger Defense. And they have stepped their game up!!! The new optic includes: instructions, a set of allen wrenches for installation, adjustment, and removal, a lens cleaning cloth, and two 2032 batteries; all set within a very nice and sturdy portable carry case that fits nicely inside my range bag.There are more expensive optics available with more bells and whistles. However, the number of accessories included, plus the overall quality of this optic at this price? It will be a challenge to find a better deal. The optic I’m buying for my next rifle will be from Daniel Defense!!💯👍🏾

First off the reason for the Four star and not five is due to the fact that I have not used this item yet, I will update as soon as I do.This item came within two days and was well packaged in a cardboard box and foam padding around the optic it's self. Once opened I found the Optic, two batteries, a lens cleaning cloth, instructions, sticker and two Allen wrenches. The Optic was in perfect shape, had a nice finish and felt solid. The mount is attached to the Optic and does not appear to be able to be removed. Removing the battery cover I found an "O" ring installed on the cover to help keep out moisture and once a battery was installed the cover went on easy and had a tight fit with the O ring seated. I then turned it on and found the 4 Dot settings were pronounced and clear in the glass, the brightness setting worked well and I found that the highest setting was a bit much and did cause just the slightest distortion. Both green and red setting worked well, and were both very clear. The last picture shows the red dot, and was brighter in person than the camera picked up. I'll follow up with an update once I get this thing attached and off to the range to zero in. But as of now the price point on this item is fantastic for the quality I see so far, lets hope that it performs just as good as it looks.
