Plymouth, MI (December 9, 2022) – EOTECH is proud to announce the EFLX Mini Reflex Sight has won a Ballistic’s Best Award, for Best Pistol Red Dot for 2022.  Ballistic Magazine, an Athlon Outdoors publication, is a leading resource in the firearms industry and a must-read for news and information related to firearms, optics, and related accessories.

“The EFLX is EOTECH’s first dip into the reflex pistol sight pool, and we are really proud to see the dealer and consumer acceptance and support.” Said Mark Miller, Director of Product Management.  “We intentionally carried over key attributes of our Holographic Weapon Sight like the window aspect ratio, button design, and window clarity, to overcome some of the limitations other pistol optics suffer.  This, along with our rigorous testing, produced what we feel is the best pistol optic solution out there."

The EFLX provides a heavy-duty aluminum housing that includes a top loading CR2032 battery to provide over 20,000 hours of runtime.  Models are offered in either 3MOA or 6MOA aiming dots and incorporate the Deltapoint Pro mounting footprint.

The EFLX Mini Reflex Sight features eight daytime brightness settings, including an ultra-bright mode and night vision setting. Using ergonomic push-button controls, users can easily switch between brightness levels. Further, the Mini Reflex Sight includes two programmable shut-off options; no shut-off mode provides an always-visible aiming dot, ready when needed or an auto shut-off mode (after 12-hours), preserving battery life.
