Ar IR illuminator helps you fuel your night vision view. An attached IR illuminator also helps light things up at night. You can even record and take pictures using onboard storage.

The resolution is 1024×768, and it has a 60-frame-per-second refresh rate. The Holosun DRS Night vision gives you an 8X digital zoom to get nice and close to the target, at the cost of clarity. On a red dot, you aren’t looking out hundreds of yards to see the threat, so it’s not likely a big deal. I could make out facial features at close range, but I’d really need to get outside in the dark to see how well it works. It does have a rather small window, and the device uses a digital night vision overlay, so don’t expect Gen 3 clarity. SHOT Show is a well-lit event, so it’s tough to judge the clarity of the night vision. Obviously, the green overlay isn’t exactly needed in the middle of the day.

The integrated unit has a 2.5-hour battery life, and the standard model offers you five hours of battery life. The digital night vision overlay takes your optic to new levels. Nightvision technology eats up battery, so don’t expect a ton of power. Both devices allow you to turn the night vision on or off but remain using the red dot. One features an integrated NV device placed below the main window, and the second unit features a removable unit that allows you to ditch the night vision when it’s not needed. It’s a full-sized red dot that comes in two varieties. The first optic that caught my attention was the Holosun DRS Night Vision optic. These sights mix standard night vision modes with a red dot for an ultra-compact design that gives standard NV or thermal use. Holosun is getting into the night vision market with hybrid sights. What I found honestly made me forget all about the SCS. Holosun is making what? I walked into their booth to check out and cover the new models of the SCS designed for guns from Walther, M&P, etc.

The latest optics from Holosun goes beyond innovation-they step into holy crap! Optics like the SCS, the EDP, and AEMS have proven that they can make a solid, innovative red dot. Over the last few years, this company has gone from producing some basic, affordable red dots to being an innovator in the optic market. They’ve long produced durable, affordable red dot optics that can seemingly eat up abuse. I’ve slowly become a massive fan of Holosun optics.
