A collimator sight is an optical system in which a collimator is used to build the image of the aiming mark. Hidden inside the sight, an LED emits light onto a lens, the inner surface of which is coated with a semi-transparent reflective coating. The light rays reflecting from the surface of the lens toward the shooter create a parallel beam. It is this parallelism of the beams that prevents the reticle from sliding off the aiming point.
The advantages of the collimator sights, in comparison with telescopic sights
It is not necessary to have three points of contact when aiming, which makes it possible to see with both eyes (very useful when shooting at moving targets).
They usually weigh and measure much less than telescope sights,
They are perfect for shooting in low visibility conditions (thanks to illuminated reticle, which is perfectly visible in the dark)
Variety of collimator sights
By the type of housing construction:
Open – have only the front lens, and the light source is located on the body of the product. Such sights differ in more compact dimensions and weight in comparison with closed sights. Open collimator sights also have a wider field of view, which is important when shooting at moving targets.
Open type sights, where the light source, which forms the aiming mark, is located in the closed housing, and in addition to the front lens, there is a lens which covers the rear of the housing.
