Let’s get right into Magnifier 101. If you’ve ever wondered what a magnifier is, why you’d use one, or how to set one up on your rifle, you’re in the right place!

What is a Magnifier?

Great question! A magnifier is essentially a tube with lenses that—surprise—magnifies things. Think of those old movies with the captain pulling out a spyglass to see distant ships. Same idea here! But, instead of scouting the horizon for pirates, you’re using it to magnify your target downrange while retaining the benefits of your EOTECH holographic weapon sight (HWS). With a magnifier, you can see more clearly at a distance, which can help you take more precise shots.

Why Use a Magnifier?

There’s always a debate between using a low power variable optic (LPVO) or a magnifier. Both have their place, but magnifiers offer a unique solution. Here’s the deal: magnifiers

The EFLX Red Dot Pistol Sight—our first-ever reflex sight, and honestly, we’re pretty pumped about it. Let’s get right into what makes this optic so special.

Our First Reflex, But You Know We Added Our Own Twist

We couldn’t just make another red dot. We had to throw in our signature touch. Let’s start with what we’re known for—our glass. The EFLX features crystal-clear glass that won’t leave you dealing with the weird color tints or reflections you might see from other brands. We’ve worked hard to ensure the sight picture is as clean as it gets.

Then of course, there’s the window. If you’ve used our holographic sights, you’ll feel right at home with this one. We’ve kept that same aspect ratio, giving you a big, beautiful viewing area to maintain situational awareness and lock in on your target quickly.

Shotguns and Optics: Why We Think They’re a Perfect Match

Shotguns—they’re undeniably cool, versatile, and serve a wide range of purposes. But we’re not talking about shotguns in general. Instead, let’s dive into something that stirs up a lot of debates: using EOTECH holographic weapon sights (HWS) on shotguns. You might be wondering, “Aren’t those too tall for shotguns?” Well, we hear that question a lot, and while it’s ultimately a matter of personal preference, we’re here to give you our take on it—because that’s why you’re here, right?

Holographic Weapon Sights on Shotguns: The Basics

Let’s start by saying this: HWS are fast, and speed is a key factor in most shotgun applications. When you’re shooting up close and at fast-moving targets, you want something that can keep up. That’s where our holographic sights really shine. But here’s where the debate kicks in—people often say the comb height on most shotguns makes it hard to
