Quoted: Very unfortunate but thank you for the update! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Who gave you that confirmation? If so that's very disappointing. @Lucreau I ordered through Strohman enterprises. One of aimpoint s dealers. They sent out a mass e mail yesterday that they spoke to aimpoint, and that’s the date aimpoint told them they were shipping. Very unfortunate but thank you for the update! Aimpoint just told me they will be restocked and shipping in April |

Quoted: Aimpoint just told me they will be restocked and shipping in April View Quote I hope you’re correct because I saw a customer service email that said June lol this isn’t even frustrating anymore, it’s comical. They sure did make sure they had that Duty RDS ready to go at release didn’t they? ?? |

Quoted: I received the same email saying June was when they expect to restock, but it sounded like that was for Aimpoint's own website. ETA: Email I received last week. https://i.imgur.com/FhCbLLy.jpg View Quote If I can find a MPS I think I’ll just go that direction until they’re available……at least with government contracts being filled the public isn’t their guinea pig lol |

I am not going to wait anymore. I posted some Glock MOS ACRO / MPS plates for 50% off on EE if anyone wants some for their MPS.
ETA: Yeah, Midway has the best prices for the MPS that I have seen yet. |

This is such a dicked up situation. I do think there is some credence to the rumor mill of gov't contracts eating up production. Apparently, the motivation for a P-2 was a gov't customer that basically spec'd the changes to the P-1 that they needed. May be time to get my money back from Euro Optic if these "June" dates become real. Almost an entire year on backorder. COVID supply chain issue may be partially responsible, so it's hard to be outraged about it, but I'm severely disappointed. Aimpoint is becoming less reliable for product availability than Knights.

Absolutely ridiculous at this point. Thanks for the update. |

Well I just got a tracking number for my EuroOptic order from June!
Order is from 7/14/21 so you can compare |

Wilson cut my slide to low mount an Acro. Does the MPS direct mount to an Acro cut? I read something about it being an acro cut but with different measurements?!?

I sure do hope that Aimpoint is saying a later date then what’s actually scheduled for a restock, Aimpoint = Knights of the optic world. |

Got notification that my backorder from Kenzies is shipping. Can't wait!

My dealer got two in today. I snagged one.
Been waiting for one to finally finish this stupid SBR. Attached File |

I’ve been drawn to the B&T TP9s and Glocks that are set up like this, I guess I can possibly talk myself into grabbing another 17 to build something like this. How’s the ACRO so far? Really nice to see backorders finally being filled. Maybe they just gave us a couple months later guess at restock lol |

Just chatted with a guy on Instagram that recently received his P-2…..he ordered from Aimpoints website last week and got his today.
There “In-stock” notification email doesn’t work apparently, this blows. |

I wish they would at least stock dealers with back orders. |

Digging the new buttons on it too. |

Aimpoint rep told me yesterday that in stock notifications go out in the order people signed up in. He said there are more than 3,000 people signed up for notifications and they sold something like 75 units last week. That’s a lot of backlog. Even if aimpoint is delivering 1,000 units a month to the states I would imagine demand still outpaces supply for the year. I’ve signed up for every retailer I could find thats carrying them and I only ever seem to hear about a drop days after the fact. Guys are selling them on Reddit for $800 + routinely. I need like three of them and I’m not paying a 25% markup.

Quoted: Yeah probably Was just worried my astigmatism might not work well with it or the window might be too small for me since I never got to play with the 1st gen. View Quote I know everyone’s astigmatism is different but does the dot look good? I have astigmatism and what the call “floaters” from eye damage over the years……my RMRs can get fuzzy sometimes. |

View Quote I do wear glasses and it seemed slightly fuzzy at first and then it clears up, same happens with my holosun on my Glock 48. I think it is just my eyes adjusting to a bright red dot. It might be slightly fuzzy after. I only just quickly messed around with it yesterday, this weekend I am going to take a better look at it and zero it. I'll report back |

According to Kenzie's Optics they only received 9 in their last shipment. Sounds like it may still be a while if other distributors are getting the same small amounts.

View Quote Mine is due to be delivered tomorrow and I'm hoping for the same. The CompM5 uses a new smaller, more efficient laser and it actually was decently clean for my astigmatism. The P-2 says it is also using this new diode, so fingers crossed. I just wish something cheaper like the PRO wasn't so starbursty in my eyes... |

BigTex now has the "latest version" of the MPS which has user selectable auto-off. Steiner's MPS spec-sheet now also shows the MPS as having "user-selectable auto-off".

View Quote Do you happen to know if that was 9 to fill backorders, or 9 listed on the website for everyone to take a shot at getting? Stupid question but figured I’d ask. |

Just an FYI, Aimpoint posted on their Instagram stories that they will have units on their website and also distributors website at 9 eastern tomorrow ????????

Quoted: Just saw that! Prepare for their website to crash and then all be gone immediately haha. View Quote Yeah, I’m not getting my hopes up lol maybe I’ll be able to snag one from another distributor……seems like they’re catching up on their backorder list if they have enough to list elsewhere. |
