On 1/12 and 1/13, we are getting an opportunity to see the actual factory in Houston TX where the new PLx-1 HTX-1 is being made. We will be getting an opportunity to shoot with it and see all of the stuff happening behind the scenes of how it's being manufactured. What would you like us to find out/ what questions would you like us to ask the folks over there? |

While you're there take the HTX into the janitors closet with a pvs14 and hit the lights. If the lens or its coating(s) reduces light transmission, that is a huge problem. NV settings are meaningless at that point. Report back. ETA: Threaten them to make a mount for the optics ready s&w m&p 1.0 c.o.r.e. |

Quoted: What have they done to harden/ruggedize it? Does it work under water? Can you bang it into a wall accidentally 10,000 times and have it still work? |

Quoted: We do plan specifically to get some night vision footage of the optic in different lighting conditions :) I will also add the threat to our itinerary Quoted: Quoted: While you're there take the HTX into the janitors closet with a pvs14 and hit the lights.

Quoted: +1 Quoted: Quoted: NV testing would definitely be cool to see +1  I'm mostly curious at how their NV settings actually perform (are they dim/bright enough) and light transmission through the glass in different lighting conditions. We will likely compare to the P2 and RMR HD |

Quoted: Made in the USA without compromise, the HTX-1 is a truly revolutionary enclosed-emitter reflex sight built to the highest standards of quality and performance. This got my attention.

Quoted: They've still got the rest of the day and tomorrow if you don't include "Range Day" right? I mean, he posted there would be a "really cool update...soon" five days ago. Won't really be much of a pre SHOT Show scoop if it's out the day or night before SHOT starts, will it? |

Quoted: @Joshuasaur What happened to the update and pre-SHOT info you were bringing us? We will still deliver on the factory tour and I have all the notes on the manufacturing process and parts sourcing for your pleasure

Quoted: It got filmed but we couldn't get the edit done in time (boss man has us working on like 30 projects all at once). We will still deliver on the factory tour and I have all the notes on the manufacturing process and parts sourcing for your pleasure Right on, thanks for the update!
