Review on the Vortex UH1 and Eotech 

"My AR-15 that i use for home defense" Must be the most American sentence ever invented.

I've never seen your videos before, and I'm IMMEDIATELY struck by how it feels like you're sitting at my kitchen table. I love it. Feels super genuine compared to super "slick" reviews out there. Thanks for posting this. SUBBED!

This is the first comparison video I’ve seen putting them side by side in all four angles. Thank you!

Great video! The UH-1 Gen 2 now comes with NV so when compared to EXPS3 they're very similar in size, weight and capabilities.

1st time watching this channel.. as a Texan I'm sold by his shirt choice alone... 👌

Great video! First comparison I've seen, just got the UH-1 ordered and feel even more excited about receiving it. Wish the new micro 3x magnifier was better priced though lol.

One thing about holographic sights is that they don’t project the laser out.. so enemy can’t see laser.. that’s why navy seals and spec ops use them.. love your channel keep it up 👍😊

The new uh1 gen II is night vision capable now.

Man. Great video editing style. Sometimes just showing says a lot. Subbed and liked.

Thank you for making an informative video without some annoying music playing.

Been waiting on this, I can believe everything you say because I have seen you actually make consistent kills in the field. You a true predator and a TXKILLER!! I have never trusted people who shoot non moving targets and give their opinions on Scopes and red dots.

Great comparison and review. This was my first time seeing one of your videos and I subscribed immediately! Thank you!

That ASMR chess match at the beginning was awesome

Dropping the like just of the strength of the photo.

Vortex UH-1 discontinued. A note from Vortex "Can't go into much detail yet, but keep an eye out for the return of the UH-1 around late July." All the best, Ken Calhoun Vortex Optics | Sales & Technical Maybe a UH-2 I don't know.

Multiple angles, unit on and unit off, very good camera focusing very detailed descriptions and comparison like the video. This is definitely a big help I’m in the market for one of these. Liked and subscribed based on this video alone look forward to seeing more. 😎👍

Man's voice sounds like a truck, breathes freedom and spits lightning bolts. Excellent review brother, subbed

Thanks for the review, been thinking about picking up an EOtech.

Thanks for the comparison. It it the nail right on the of the two I had narrowed down for purchase. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos.

Great video... I grew up in southern Texas ....hunting, fishing and riding horses! I'm a war vet Desert Storm....US ARMY 8 years. I am white and my best friend Jeremy was black - you remind me so much of him. He consider me his brother. I'm building a AR15 pistol ( Spikes lower ) and doing research on what red/green dot sights to get. Great job! I miss my Texas, also where can I buy that t-shirt ? Take care...

I had to laugh at your response to which ones better, I came up with the same conclusion, very well done

I put my rifle together myself for 380 bucks because I bought it in pieces from Palmetto. As much as I love optics, especially the aim points we used in the army....I can't justify to myself paying more for an optic than I did my rifle lol. Call me cheap, still rocking irons and a light 😂🇺🇸👍

Good video. good side by side comparison. I have had an Eotech (512) on my AR15 since 2008/9. Had two issues: delamination (2010) and battery terminals (2017). Eotech fixed the delamination issue (free) and they sent me a battery terminal kits (free). I can confidently shot 2 MOA with the Eotech on my rifle. I will tell anyone that has an Eotech, use lithium batteries as this will avoid corrosion issues. I am on 5 years using the same lithium batteries. I am seriously considering a XPS2-0 for a second AR15 of mine. Once that delamination issue was fixed (the battery terminal issue was caused by using non lithium batteries), I have not had a single issue out of my 512 which has seen hot and humid weather (100 F+) to 30 F in the rain. That's 10 years of stellar service. I would imagine a new XPS2-0 would be perform just as well especially since Eotech has addressed the delamination issues with their sights.

Im subbing because this is the best comparison video ive seen period.

"couldn't go wrong either way" I like the sound of that

Vortex has great scopes and a warranty. I use Sightmark on 7.62 though (Ultra Shot M Spec (FMS))

First video I've caught of yours, and about 1 minute in... Subscribed. I am not new to guns or sights by any means, but your video was just solid, man. I'm subscribed to many gun channels, but damn... Adding you to the list. Good video, man. Thanks.

"lets talk about that," then lets us visually inspect the item with astonishing detail, so we have a basic understanding/setting of what's about to be said; and how it relates to our initial thoughts. nice start to a video

Id deffinatly run the eotech...have 2 of them. just the durability improvement is enough for me to pick it over vortex

You sir have earned my subscription

For anyone who's interested the UH-1 Gen II is currently available for pre-order.

Greetings from Arkansas. Just discovered your channel and subbed.

Subscribed today, thought I had before. One thing though, that Huey is uuuuuggglllyyyy! 😂

Great review love the content. I think I'm going to go with the Eotech hybrid setup

Have you ever noticed that sometimes you missed something and you didn't know that you did before until you get reminded. Is the first time in a long time that I've seen someone do a side by side comparison to anything gun-related. I think it's very important to do so. People need to know when they're making a good decision.

I had the exact same issue as you with the battery draining on my new Vortex as well. I sent it in and they acknowledged that there was a battery drain issue. They replaced it and had it back to me in about a week. Great customer service. I also agree on the Vortex buttons...not a huge deal but it is kind of awkward to turn it off...I'd prefer something like holding down the "down" button for 5 seconds or something.

Best review video of them.side by side I've see bro...I subscribed!!

Love your dimensional comparisons, man. Good content, thanks.

Thank you!!!! I have found the information I have been looking for, sir. Your video was a great comparison.

Good content... I liked the new vid about the Razor optic too but comments were turned off. Keep em coming!

Great video! I appreciate all the information. My son just bought the Eotech for his AR. He hasn't had a chance to use it yet due to time restraints for his military training but I'm sure he'll like it. I think I'm leaning more towards the Vortex. Looks like a good quality sight at a friendlier price. Keep up the good work. 👌

I love that Vortex mailbox! Also, I thought the Huey was capable of night vision. I thought the Gen 1 had a refresh rate and clarity problem that supposedly got fixed in Gen 2.

best comparison I´ve seen so far

Great info, appreciate your time as always sir, been wary about the UH-1 definitely going to give it another look.

NSW/CRANE said the EOTECH EXPS3 is the only optic that is truly paralax free.. I'm glad when EOTECH had that issue years ago ( I never had that issue ) . They finally released their reticle so other companies can use it . I love the doughnut of death reticle. I have EOTECH 553 SOCOM I bought in 2009. Still works to this day . I chose to go with Vortex Huey because if the price . It came with 1/3 co witness mount . There is a $200 difference in price between the Huey and EXPS2 or 3. ( EOTECH EX means NV Compatible. The Xps is non NV for the these style of EOTECH. SOCOM about a year ago chose the EXPS3 for all their assaulters. The doughnut of death reticle whether it's HWS or LED are the best option for CQC. That's why my HD MK18 is sporting HS515CM and My G19 MOS is rocking 508T.

How did i just find out about this channel? Great stuff!

That was great, straight forward review. Thank you so much

I just got into the market for a new optic and these were two of the three on the list. Gonna have to think about whether or not I want NV for my optic or if I'm just gonna run an IR laser. Either way you did sell me on the Vortex Micro Magnifier with your other video. Keep up the good work.

I'm so glad I came across your channel, thanks for these great videos!

Excellent video bro! The only thing else i would have touched on is the different reticles with bdc you can get for the eotech. Also the nv model has a little bit better of a submersion rate than the non nv.

Awesome and honest review!

Excellent review. Information was concise and the opinions to the point.

Yea, man, I was stuck in between an XPS3-2 and the Vortexs gen2 hu1. I took a look at both reticle, and for sure, to my eye inside and outside the vortex is a lot more crisp. But... Thos optic is going on an SBR build (APC9 pro) So, I also needed it to be 100% passive NV compatible. When it came to that, the XpS3-2 had it for me. Also the fact that I can use an easy BDC for my 9mil with the help of the Strelok app. That was a plus for the eotech. Finally, when I saw that, you can actually range with the -2 reticle that was it.. it was a keeper. So I bought it, dropped it in to zero at 25 yards, and pushed it to 200 yards 25 - 100 was paper to see the Groups bench shooting and then standing. At 200 yards, I was using steel because, let's be honest.. 9mm 200 yards with a holographic sight.. there's not much pin point accuracy going on there, especially on this limited rail space, and wanted to conserve the sweet weight and balance of the APC9. All in all, it's a keeper. The only thing that just annoys me is that eotech states their turrets were intentionally made to feel like moosh.. weather some report it on thier windage or elevation -_- Bunch of bull S... after feeding it 350 rounds in that range trip from bench and standing. Smooth shooting to shooting as fast as possible without going into a mag dump.. my elevation turret started to click like my windage. It's definitely a QC problem, and I'm starting to believe that some ppl on the interwebs are right to say that there is a small dabree from the assembly process. Other than that, yes, the XPS3-2 is the optic that made sense to me for my specific build.

This is an amazing video please make more very helpful and you did exactly what I needed visual comparison

bought a uh1 for my cz bren just because it matches the looks

Very good comparison video! Unbiased and very informative Thanks!

Razor vortex all day everyday. No questions asked Lifetime warranty is priceless. Compared to eotechs 10 year warranty LOL

the Gen II Vortex *does* have night vision capability.

Thanks for the review. I bought the gen 2 . Supposed to be .8 oz lighter and a larger window. We’ll see.

OMG U SMASHED THE REVIEW I JUST SUBSCRIBE AWESOME JOB!!!!!

Thank you. I like the size comparison.

GREAT vid man! Thanks so much for helping me make my decision.

Thank you for this comparison video. I will point out you refer to the EOTech model you review as the EXPS2 a few times, but I'm pretty sure the example you are displaying is an EXPS3. The difference is the night vision capability-your EXPS3 has the round NV button on the side; the EXPS2 would not. Speaking of side buttons, viewers should be aware that the XPS models from EOTech (not the EXPS models) do have the buttons on the back, like the UH1; I agree, side mounted buttons are better, especially if running with a magnifier.

Whoever solves the battery race first will win a serious race.

Subscribed, bruh, your videos are on point!

Exactly the video I needed.

Appreciate the review man! Thanks!

Would love to see a review of the Gen II Huey

Really Good video! Thanks! helped me out to pick one!

Great video. Thanks for the info

love the way you did that!! great job!

I ordered a Vortex Razor Huey, couldn't get a hold of Optics Planet to see when my order would ship. The order said from 7-17 days, but the estimated ship date was November 2020. I tried to get a hold of them, but they pointed me back to their website. Finally gave up, cancelled my order. I can find Eotech at Sportsman's Wearhouse, so I chose to go with a proven sight, one that is available, and can get a hold of someone.

Very good review on both items.

Very usefully cool. Thanks!

Awesome breakdown man!

Just bought the EOTech holographic hybrid sight 1 for my build

i have an eotech 552, and i like it enough, the housing feels tough, like i could drop it from 20 feet up and it will still keep zero. i do like a sight with with a wider sight picture that's why i went with an eotech vs a vortex.

I still try to buy the American made... nice review! Semper fi!!!

Great honest review! Thanks,

Outstanding Comparison !!!!

The SIG ROMEO 8T was actually designed to ride on SIGs new 338 Norma machine gun made for the US Army and built like a tank with a huge 38mm view window. I sold all my Eotechs when they lied and were sued by the DOJ over the thermal drift. As for as I know it was never fixed only the owners manual was change.

For work I do lots of shooting under NODs. For years I ran an eotech and never once used the NVG setting. Just ran it super dim, didnt wash out my NODs that I could tell. Ran it on dim for when I went from dark to lit rooms or outside to inside at night, then I didnt have to hit another button just tilted my head up or flipped the NODs up real quick. So for me no big deal. NVG settings work great but cant see it at all if you roll into a bright room from a dark one so never used it outside of just plinking. Just food for thought.

Good video. Thank you for your time.

Great video and information! Thank you! Mike G

keep it up brotha, loving the vids!

Awesome vid man , great comparison, wish I could find the vortex but it’s no where online

Bro your videography is clean! What kind of camera setup are you running?

Eotech all the way

You sir earned a subscriber

Dude, I like the video and next time I will check out the UH1.

just bought a sig virtus pistol and been thinking of putting a eotech on it but i do like the looks of the sig romeo 8t and the vortex

Gen two now has the night vision 😁

Nice video！ Thank you！

I’ve looked through both, Eotech is more clear and the reticle is better.......however I would not hesitate to get the vortex. If you can come up with a couple hundred more for the eotech then do so.

I’m sold on the Vortex AMG UH1 for my Windham weaponry src .308

Spent nearly $1,400 on an exps 3-4 and g33 magnifier last night. Somewhat having second thoughts, but somewhat not... There's a reason spec ops have used it for so long... I like the vortex optics, but I still have a hunch that eotech is better. Plus, it works with nv. I suppose, if I ever get in a situation that I'm planning for (but probably likely won't happen), I'll be happy at the things I did buy and really upset at the things I didn't. I don't know... Lol.

EOTech still king of the holographic optic game. IMO. #Jakehunter88

UH-1 Gen2 is out can you re compare it? Thanks

Great video. Thanks

I love my uh-1 aka huey! stilll want to try the eotech though.
