For decades, weapon optics have been dominated by red dots. While they have served us well, it is scientifically proven that the human eye sees green much more easily. The challenge, however, has been to power the green dot for decades. By nature, green is a more difficult color to generate and, in turn, takes more power. With advances in technology, however, a solution has been found. With that advancement, many companies are now offering green dot options. One of the latest to provide us with a solid solution is Viridian with their VENTA Green dot.
