You think it's almost twice as good/reliable? It's twice the price

It’s called owners bias.

What happens when you own both

That’s how black holes are formed.

You start to talk about the P2's very real downsides and user reports of failure but still feel smug and safe for having one.

I remember reading your input on other ACRO threads. I’m getting the PB. I’m going to guess you’re also getting it. I’m looking forward to seeing your thoughts on how they compare.

Yep. I'm sucker for anything Lead and Steel does. The ACRO is overpriced and overrated but I still think enclosed optics are going to become dominant (for good reason too). Once other companies catch up and there's greater competition in the marketplace I think the ACRO will get a more honest assessment.

And to be clear, I love my ACRO. I just think people should temper their expectations about it and at current prices I don't believe it's a good value when open emitter pistol dots are still very rugged and reliable.

Dunno tbh, I have an acro and an AEMS and have a PB3 ordered and I'm actually selling my acro to a buddy to get another AEMS
