Richmond Hill, GA –-(AmmoLand.com)- Fully enclosed optics have long been the benchmark for durability.
Having emitters protected from dirt and debris makes sense in harsh environments. Likewise, optical glass is well protected from unnecessary damage and scratches. While not always necessary, users often prefer this additional peace of mind in their optics when used in areas of high failure due to physical damage or abrasive elements. What’s even more difficult is finding an optic that meets all these needs and is small enough to be mounted to a pistol. C&H Precision beings that need to consumers in the DUTY pistol optic.
C&H Precision DUTY Enclosed Red Dot Optic
The DUTY is a side-clamp mount enclosed optic that keeps dust, rain, twigs, grass, or other foreign objects out of the optic. Manufactured from one-piece CNC aircraft aluminum housing, it comes Shock Rated for +P and +P+ and is waterproof. In addition, the IPX7 rating allows for 1 meter of submersion for up to 30 minutes. Enclosed is a CR 2023 lithium battery to power an optic with a 50,000-hour life. A shake-awake and auto-off after 5 minutes are standard to preserve the battery life.
DUTY comes with two options of reticle color; red or green. In addition, there is an option for a multi-reticle system. While a 3 MOA dot comes standard on all models, the multi-reticle system comes with a 48 MOA circle that can be used independently or in conjunction with the 3 MOA dot. These reticles have ten brightness settings, two of which are compatible with night vision.
No one can ever predict the exact environment they will find themselves in when they need to defend themselves. An optic that can handle a vast array of environmental hazards and operate at maximum efficiency takes the guesswork out of optic choice.
DUTY from C&H Precision provides the best protection for a pistol optic; it’s at home in the sand as much as the swamp.
