Until 2019, one option had been missing from Leupold's lineup of affordably priced Freedom optics. With the launch of the Freedom RDS, that omission had been rectified.
Leupold’s selection of rifle and handgun scopes is extensive and highly regarded, and, in recent years, the company has also made inroads in the area of miniature reflex sights.
Smith & Wesson answered consumer calls for an updated C.O.R.E. lineup of handguns in its M&P lineup with this new-for-2020 collection of Performance Center M&P M2.0 pistols.
Aimpoint has long been recognized as a foremost maker of red-dot sighting systems, but it is only with the recent introduction of the Acro P-1 that the company has expanded this expertise into the sphere of handgun optics.
Leupold’s Freedom RDS is the embodiment of rugged reliability. A 1X 34 mm tubular red-dot sight, the Leupold DNA is obvious in the optic’s aesthetics—including the gold ring—and more importantly in its durability.
The transition to using the MRDS as a primary sighting system can trip up some users, and it is worth looking at a few pointers to get the most out of the dot.
