Our take: The NcStar Tactical Compact Red Dot sighting unit w/ heads up display is a high-grade optic that's designed for ultra-fast target acquisition. Ideally used for mounting onto a zoom-capable scope as a close-range supplemental sight, we've found in our testing that it is also quite useful as a stand-alone unit due to its compact size and the crisp clarity of the red dot. As a result, it's also one of the most popular optics we carry! It is a basic must-have for any player, and gives players the tactical edge, whether you're on the field or playing indoor-CQB.
