I had battery drain issues with my first one . Got a replacement and now it doesn’t hold zero with normal shooting. I don’t abuse my optics, but it still lost zero. yup it’s 🗑️
I run a " Cylee " on my Dagger with the Doctor cut and i love it. Holds zero and absolutely love the " Auto on – Auto Off " feature. Long battery life and clean 3 MOA dot. Top load battery is nice.
Mine lost zero multiple times while shooting at a flat range. Sent it back to EoTech for warranty service, and received a completely different optic (different serial #) after 7 weeks and it too had the same issue as the original one. Terrible optic, terrible customer service.
Was just thinking "Wonder when he'll do the EFLX" a couple days ago. Lol
Thank you so much I was definitely about to get rid of my RMR. I’m glad I saw this video.
I can’t tell you how many comments I’ve seen and videos about this optic of people saying that they’re buying two or three of them. I think that’s just ridiculous. It’s hilarious how loyal people are, even if a product is trash.
It's weird that SD talks about distortion. I've purchased (and returned) most red dots that are on this channel, and outside of the Deltapoint Pro, they ALL have distortion like the EFLEX. It's weird that sometimes the distortion is called out by YTs and sometimes it's not. I don't get it. SD isn't the only channel that does this. The EPS and Carry both have distortion for example. I still trust SD more than most for reviewers for red dots. I just wish I understood the distortion randomness.
I’m sure EO tech is shitting the bed right about now. Patreon is one thing but throwing it up on YouTube for all of us degenerates is going to be rough for them. This is going to be the only way we can get manufacturers to make decent optics though
Nuhhh…..THE ONLY 2 RED DOTS I TRUST, OWN AND USE: HOLOSUN 509T GR X2 and AIMPOINT ACRO P-2. Everything else in my opinion is a waste of money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
I added an rmr to my p320 and it seems like the pistol changes it's poi on a whim. The optic is always zeroed but the impacts aren't always in the same place. I'm no means perfect but I'm more consistent with other pistols. I'm almost to the point where I'm willing to say the p320 is inaccurate. This video was obviously the optic losing zero but wanted to share my experience.
The EFLX sucks! My friend had to send his back the day after he shot it for the first time!
I’ll stick with my Holosun
Thanks for this vid Aaron! I really have hopes that EOTech will come out with a revision soon for the EFLX.. which I'm sure they will. Just a question of how long that will take. I have been holding back on buying the EFLX and waiting for proper reviews, such as what Aaron is providing. I've heard others having the loss of zero issues under 'normal' use as well. Definitely appreciate this video being released to YT.. Hopefully EOTech has already taken note and is well aware of these issues with the EFLX.
Damn….. I just threw this on my new P226 Legion slide. I guess I better never drop it.
The review we’ve all been waiting for. 🍿
You're a REAL WORLD engineer so we can determine what really works in a SHTF crisis. Thanks for the hours testing. I'll pass.
Got one 6 moa less than 40 rounds the glass popped out , Eotech sent me a brand new unit with in week . Shot 15 rounds the glass shifted again basically popping out making the red dot completely useless . Now I want to sell Al my Eotech gear no excuse for that joke of qc . Using my Holosun scs no problems
Holosun wins again
times are changing, Chinese are making better stuff then Americans ….( I am very happy with my HS EPS MRS and HS AEMS RDs).
Let me guess for $500. No thanks. I’ll buy another pistol instead.
I haven't lost zero with mine.
It's literally a rebranded Bushnell RXS-250.
May we have a vid of recommended optics based on the accumulated experience you, your instructors, and students have had? Failures, breakages, etc. Thank you sir!
Thank You..
Thank you for saving me money. I do not want this optic anymore.
Yikes, losing Zero makes it a No Go, on ANYTHING. Glass breaking, frame cracking I can forgive, but I put red dots on anything from handguns, rifles and shotguns. Hell, when I see an incredible deal, I'll upgrade RDS for fun. Being able to hold zero is the most basic of basic things dot sights should do.
Top load battery = open emitter.
This was super smart to post because I just signed up for Patreon… I didn't even know he was on Patreon so well done posting as this made me what to become a member……
EFLX price drop in 3..2..1…
Off this review, because clearly it sucks, I am curious about a follow up on the MPS
I do go read your white page
The Ace Of Spades in the background is badass.
They put out a “new” optic and still design it so it sits high and needs suppressor sights. State of the art for 2005.
Thank you so much for the info. I damn nearly ordered this optic at launch and I kid you not I was waiting for your review. I trust your advice and that shouldn't be taken lightly no BS.
