I just bought (ordered) an Extar EP9 and plan on putting one of these on it. I never plan on shooting it further than 50 yards for fun but it will rest close to me so the one I plan to get also has the laser. I am also going to put some flip up sights and a light once I research further. Thanks for your video, it helped make my decision.
My friend bought an A-spec, I haven't had the chance to compare the two yet for Parallax but I will say the A-spec has an even clearer (less reflective) glass, litteraly crystal clear (I'm certain the M-spec uses the same lens)
Anyone have reflection problems with this? I just got mine and there's terrible reflection on the glass on the bottom from the red laser. The green has it too but not as bad.
@@156TYSON Yeah. It does fade away as I turn it down. Just not sure how that'll work outdoors on a sunny day when I have to crank it up to see it. Maybe it's just the lighting and it won't show up in sunlight. I'll have to try it. Good excuse to get the range. 🙂
I have one, battery dies in a few hours, no clicking so no way to tell how many clicks, and on and on. Figured I got a bad one - oh well! it happens. The other day a friend of mine bought one. We went shooting to test his new sight and rifle. Great rifle but his Sightmark Ultra has all the same problems that mine has.
Ya that's wierd, my friend has one as well and we haven't had that problem, I always look down the sight to make sure its turned off, though memory tells me its auto off after so many hours anyways.
How is the red reticle indoors? I just got my third R Spec and they all have this terrible red light refraction over the whole glass. It improves as you dim it but to get rid of it you need to dim it beyond the point of comfort. Trying to figure out if I got a couple of duds, or if Sight Mark quality isn't what I'd be happy with.
I know with mine you have to turn the brightness down indoors otherwise it does put a glow around the recticle, can almost see 2 recticles on the highest setting actually. But I've never found it uncomfortably dim on the right setting, maybe your eyes are sensitive to the red light? Have you tried the green?
@@FALLEN9336 wish I lived in the states, that's cheap! Optics are considered gun parts coming into Canada, they wont make them through customs without a permit, tried buying off their site before.
ive seen some very impressive durability tests with it being dropped frozen and shot to the glass with airsoft guns. as ugly as the thing is, its really hard to find a reason to spend more money on other options.
I haven't had that one in front of me to test but with the research I've done the lens isn't as clear and the parallax isn't as good. The R, A and M spec are sightmark's newest models and are built using different castings and lenses.
@@156TYSON thanks . Just checking to see if it does . I think the M spec one comes with a 5 min auto shut off as well as a motion activation . Double check the manual. Lmk . Nice sight btw
@@156TYSON still holding up? i spent my load on the rifle and can't afford a sight right yet, i'm looking for a good non name brand sight. Thanks for the video!!
Good vid. That said, nobody should care one bit about parallax on any optic. Mine are zeroed at the center of the glass where there is no parallax. Yours should be too. For anyone to have an issue with it is nuts. Oh my God it's got parallax, it's useless, I wasted my money. 😆😆😆😆 it's literally a nonpoint. A waste of breath, time and just plain nuts. It's micromanaging a nothing. It's whining.
Just purchased the m spec. Very disappointed. The parallax is all over the place. If a gunman had a hostage, chances are, you'll shoot the hostage. What a rip off.
@@panchoperez8966 it's pretty stiff, won't move from shooting. As you can see in the video the switch is pretty sheltered. It moved on me because I had it behind the seat of my truck amongst a bunch of junk.
Best video yet, everyone should make optic reviews like this thank u sir!

The difference between models is the alloy’s used and the waterproofing.
Which is supposedly "better?" Would it be the A Spec or R Spec?
@@chrisreid7033they are both good but the A-spec is the better choice for clarity
@@156TYSON on their website for comparing models, there is different coating on the A-Spec compared to the other models.
Great video, I just bought one and love it, thanks for the review.
I wish the m spec came with green and red. I saw it pass the punishment test but no one is testing this ones durability.
Thanks for the great test, and playing my favorite song in the back - Glycerine ;-)
Looks pretty good for the price. I think it would be a good purchase 🤔 thanks for the video 📹 👍
Sightmark is not trash or not just good for the price anymore they are good optics plain and simple, just don't buy the older models
I just bought this sight and that's totally what I worry about is switching radicals and not holding zero because it moves.
Thank you Tyson. I just ordered off Amazon.

Have you tried turning the brightness down?

Why didnt you just make parallax targets - simple crosshair on a sheet of paper? Instead of using multiple different hard to see targets?

Mine is the same way. Even on the lowest brightness setting there’s refraction on both red and green.
Green is much better than the red, as far as reflection/refraction issues
I need one for my zastava m05c. IS it a good deal?
Would you recomend it?
Might as well got the holosun 510c for the price of these things. Zero parallax and way better quality.
There's a big price difference
Yeah these things are only 99 on optics planet the 510c is like 300 plus

Is the window the same size as the ultrashort plus?
how is this different from Ultra Shot Plus?

156TYSON oh I see, I ordered the ultra plus. The R is out of stock. Maybe I’ll order that to test side by side
@@akaiphone Did you ever do that? I'm still debating on whats the better value.
@@KingJasonOriginal I end up with the plus model. It’s a bit bigger
@@akaiphone Do you believe it's better than this one? Does it provide any other sort of features? Is the sight itself bigger or is the glass bigger?
Does this have auto shutoff and motion activation ?
No motion activation, I think there is an auto off feature, haven't left it on long enough too see if it works
@@156TYSON thanks . Just checking to see if it does . I think the M spec one comes with a 5 min auto shut off as well as a motion activation . Double check the manual. Lmk . Nice sight btw
How is this optic holding up? I’ve been on the fence about this budget optic for a while.
Its holding up good!

Get Vortex crossfire

How did that R-spec work out for you man?
Awesome, works great! Only complaint is the rectical selector switch moving on me once without me noticing and throwing my point of aim off.
