Hope this helps a little for those considering buying a holographic sight for their rifle or handgun. I purchased the Walther Nano from Midway which happened to be the last one they had in stock. As usual delivery was quick and the packaging of the sight was superb. To my surprise the sight came with a 3V battery 2032 and its own cover. Installation of the battery is quick, but be careful because the battery holder seem very fragile but is satisfactory as long as you do not act like a Neanderthal. The cover is made of rubber and will aid in keeping the glass from getting dinged or chipped.
The sight has two settings, a 1 moa which is really sharp dot and is mostly visible in lowlight conditions; and a 3 moa setting which surprisingly is very visible in the brightest and sunniest conditions in daylight here in Texas. Directions for the sight seemed simple enough by the illustrations but are very misleading. Adjusting the sight for elevation and windage requires the smallest allen wrench available which they supplied but was a pain to do since you have to unlock the sight every time you make an adjustment. Like I stated before the illustrations were misleading, which caused me to move the poi in the opposite direction I wanted.
After finally getting the Walther Nano point sighted all my frustrations disappeared. After firing several hundred rounds and a couple of months of testing it I am quite please with this sight. The price was $139 with a $10 discount brought it down to $129. My reason for this purchase was my vision. I am not able to focus at short distance only long. This holographic sight solved this problem. I am able to see the red dot with both eyes open and view my target as well without the use of eye glasses. It does require that you get used to this sight because the red dot will not appear if you are not perfectly aligned with it. It takes practice but I am now getting better with it.
It is very light weight I would guess around 6 to 8 ounces and is hardly noticeable. Any way a 10 round clip of my buckmark weighs more. I have included pictures of the sight mounted on my buckmark and of the target. The distance used was 25 meters not yards and was using winchester bulk ammo for the tryouts. The shots were taken 5 seconds apart. I have not had to change my zero since I sighted this in almost 1000 rds later.
