    Aimpoint h-1 on riser mount or eotech 512 factory mount (AR-15)

    Ok so a buddy is offering to sell me his gently used h-1 on a riser for 1/3 cowitness (I have folding sights anyways) for $400 tax tag and title.

    Or I could go out and buy an eotech 512 brand spanking new for like 375.

    I consider price irrelevant in this case bc I will spend $25 on batteries easy with my eotech and the h-1 batteries last absolutely forever

    What do y'all think? I use my ar for home defense and pig hunting... I've shot an ar with a 512 but I've only shot the h-1 on my buddys SCAR so it's kind of an apples to oranges comparison for me.

    Has anybody shot both setups on an AR? If so which would you recommend?

    I think it matters what you like best.

    I like Aimpoint.
    A 9mm might expand but a .45 will never shrink enough to fit 17 in the magazine.

    Chappy just be careful that it is not an imitation Aimpoint, there are lots of those floating around.
