Has anyone gotten their hands on the new Holosun IRIS? I'm really curious to hear how that light and illuminator is working for you. Any thoughts?
 
I have to say, I was surprised by how powerful the IR illuminator turned out to be, especially for something in this price range. It’s not quite on the level of a PEQ, but for civilian night shooting or training, it definitely gets the job done. I managed to get some pretty solid positive identification at over 100 yards while using Gen 3 NVGs, which I think is pretty impressive. Both the visible and IR lasers stayed zeroed even after putting a couple hundred rounds through it, which is awesome. The controls were a bit of a learning curve, but once I got used to the layout, everything felt pretty intuitive.
 
I haven’t had the chance to run one myself yet, but I got to try out my friend's IRIS-3 on his rifle, and it felt really solid. You can just tell the build quality is there. It doesn’t feel cheap or like some half-hearted attempt. If you’re trying to decide, I’d say just go for it. Holosun is really pushing the limits with this one, and it’s so cool to see gear that’s not just affordable but also performs well.
