CALF V2 Red Dot(Doctor)

This is my first Cryelee red dot and so far I'm happy with it. The 'shake awake' feature works great, as does the on/off features. The brightness adjustments are good enough for my needs. The body of the sight seems to be well made, the button covers seem to seal nicely and the tactile 'click' of the brightness buttons feels good. It was easy to zero and seems to be holding quite well though I haven't put many rounds down range using it yet. I had to use screws that come with the slide I'm using as the optic didn't include a length that worked for me but the optic does come with several sets. So far I'm satisfied, especially at this price point. I have another optic that I really love and this Cryelee seems to be just about as well made compared to it. Time will tell but I see no reason for this sight not to last a long time. My only issue was with the zeroing adjustments, I can feel the MOA clicks when adjusting left to right but nothing for elevation so that made things a bit of a guessing game when zeroing the sight. I have an astigmatism so without my glasses the dot is a bit blurry but with my glasses it's nice and crisp, the dot is also crisp when it is when viewed through my phone's camera so the blurriness is due to my astigmatism, not any fault of the optic. I'll update if there are any issues though I don't expect there to be any. So far I'm quite satisfied with this optic.

I've had mine for 2 years and 2 months now, just finally swapped out the battery, If you swap this every year you have nothing to worry about, not sure if I would go to an every other year cycle if you are carrying his daily. Battery swaps are a non issue cause it is on top of the optic. I have mine mounted to a PSA Dagger (9mm Glock 19 clone) and have had no complaints. I rack my slide using the optic has leverage and haven't had to fuss with re-siting it in either. Has held perfect zero no dramas. Shake awake is the way for sure. I love the thing. ASSUMING the QC and the Product is unchanged after that time this is a solid buy, I'll be getting another if I'm in need of another pistol optic.

This optic for Docter footprints is excellent and very affordable as compared to competitors in the market. Cyelee optics always hold zero and this model is no exception. An examination of the exact measurements in regards to the Docter footprint was not accomplished as only the front posts were utilized.

This is a great budget (under $100) optic. After 100 rounds it hasn't lost zero. The dials are tactile which I appreciate. It is a wide picture which is very nice. Good thick glass and robust frame that doesn't get in the way. The dot doesn't distort at the edges which is a big bonus. Battery try on the side instead of the bottom is wonderful so you can replace the battery without dismounting the optic and then having to rezero it. the only reason it gets 4 stars is because it doesn't turn on automatically. I really wish it was shake awake. The company does make a shake awake optic (the Calf) but it is out of stock. Overall a great little pistol optic. I wouldn't put it on an AR because it's not quite tall enough in the sight picture for me.

I've heard great things about Cyelee even watched review videos, and they all praise the quality. More after about 500 rounds through my G17 I can say that I wholeheartedly agree with all of those opposite reviews. I went through two range trips zeroing this optic, one was my initial zero when I first got it. I foresighted it then ran to the take and shot about 150 rounds to make sure everything was zerod and the optic was fully in place. The second time I moved my zero back to about 20yds from 10 originally, and this time I went through 350 rounds. No movement at all in the optic or the point of aim. Installation was very easy and straightforward, and you get a bunch of extras (tools, screws, stickers, patch, optic cover) in the box which was a nice plus. The shake awake feature was something I was surprised to see at this price point and it is a really nice feature to have. Honestly for the price I paid, if I could give this optic six stars I would. I plan to get another one for a 40 that I shoot pretty regularly so I'm excited to see how the optic and zero hold up to the added recoil, but I think it will be just fine. If you're on the fence, do it you won't be disappointed.
