This post will compare the Wilcox Raid Xe to the L3Harris NGAL aiming laser. For context, this will be from an end-user perspective. I'm not an engineer, and I don't know how to do the scientific testing to really nerd out on these devices. I'm going to speak from using them both in a wide variety of drills, training, and what I can see through a set of BNVD night vision goggles.  I purchased the L3 NGAL first because a bunch of agencies we work with use and carry this device

In fact, I preferred this optic over many others until the COMP came out. The COMP optic has an aluminum housing, a built-in rear sight and

Recently, I purchased ACE VR and have been using it for the past couple of months.  ACE VR is a realistic shooting game that allows me to practice dry firing, competition shooting, target transitions, visual acuity, tempo of trigger presses, and so much more. Dry fire has always been a very important part of my development, but it can get stale and even boring occasionally. This tool is exactly what I have been looking for. Designed with real USPSA stages I can practice what
