Now fast forward some 50 years and everybody has something electronic and sparkly perched atop their favorite black rifle.
The latest and greatest is the AMG UH-1 from Vortex.
The UH-1 is just under 4 long and weighs 11 oz.
The Vortex AMG UH-1 holographic gun sight is rugged, effective and cool.
It features a bright red 1-MOA holographic EBR-CQB reticle with fifteen different brightness parameters.
The AMG UH-1 somehow seems to project the reticle out over the top of the target.
I typically need reading glasses to see clearly up close, yet I retain aviator acuity at a distance.
The sight’s controls are on the back for easy access.
I have no idea how they do that.
Magic pixie dust, perhaps?
Like I said, its weird.
The holy melding of the Vortex AMG UH-1 holographic sight and the Springfield Armory SAINT rifle is an optimized home defense tool.
The sight runs off of a CR123A battery with a twist.
The rechargeable option can make things cheaper and more convenient.
Trigger Time
I mounted the Vortex AMG UH-1 up on mySpringfield Armory SAINT rifle.
Featuring the same technology that drives the heads-up displays in modern fighter planes, the UH-1 is the ultimate close combat sighting solution.
Lightweight, rugged, accurate and fun, the SAINT offers a robust feature set at a modest price.
The reticle draws the eye nicely and focuses your attention without seeming distracting.
When moving indoors or from within an automobile literally nothing is faster.
The Vortex AMG UH-1 holographic sight proved itself on the range with the Springfield Armory SAINT rifle.
The UH-1 is not unduly cumbersome, and the controls are mounted on the back for easy access.
For home defense or Law Enforcement applications this is the apex predator.
Lots of folks will warrant an electronic sight for a year or two.
Vortex makes that forever.
It doesnt matter where you bought the sight or who was at fault.
The only exceptions are loss, theft, or cosmetic damage.
I live in this weird little tactical world, and that really is as good as it gets.
Ruminations
The field of electro-optical gunsights is crowded these days.
Additionally, the UH-1 is backed up by the best unconditional warranty in the business.
The same rig would also be right at home inside a squad car.
