Buying night vision gear \u2014 no matter the manufacturer \u2014 is also probably one of the most expensive \u201chobbies\u201d within the firearms market. Being that it is quite cost-prohibitive for many shooters, information on NVGs, passive NVG optics and laser aiming devices is also relatively limited to specialty sources.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36470\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/holosun-night-vision-gear-review.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/holosun-night-vision-gear-review-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/holosun-night-vision-gear-review-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/holosun-night-vision-gear-review-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">As cool as it gets \u2014 shooting a Springfield SAINT with night vision ready-gear from\u00a0Holosun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Frankly, I think it\u2019s extremely important to consider all elements of firearms ownership and shooting-related gear as part of our Second Amendment rights, so I like to try out body armor, thermal and night vision devices.

This is basically just an extremely low brightness setting that is dim enough for night vision\u2019s sensitive image tubes, but too low for the naked eye to pick up. The other item that is very helpful is a laser aiming device with infrared (IR) settings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-36475\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear.jpg\" alt=\"shooting with holosun night vision gear\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shooting-with-holosun-night-vision-gear-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Holosun gear works in daylight and transitional light, such as dusk, when NV goggles aren\u2019t\u00a0necessary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Night vision intensifies ambient light and picks up infrared light that the human eye cannot discern.

This is a nice benefit for firearms with limited rail space, and it offers both weight savings and possible cost savings. The only potential downside is that you cannot easily switch between IR and white light on the fly with a multi button switch, and you could put a more powerful dedicated light on (if you have the rail space).<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Another awesome tool for night vision shooting is the Sionyx Aurora Pro.

We were shooting from about 45 yards on steel most of the night at the event. The LE420\u2019s IR flood was bright enough to easily identify the steel target, and the IR laser was very intense. This made it easy to make hits even out past 100 yards. The unit\u2019s white light was a nice big floodlight that would be perfect for illuminating interiors. The visible laser of it is green, so that proved to be very discernable as well.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-36479\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting.jpg\" alt=\"wearing night vision gear while shooting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wearing-night-vision-gear-while-shooting-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The NVG-50 NL2 night vision goggles mount to a helmet and can rotate out of the way when lighting is adequate for normal\u00a0shooting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also came away very impressed with the HE512T-RD reflex optic.
