EOTech - HWS EXPS3 (Multiple Reticle & Color Options)

The quick-detach base of the EXPS3 allows for rapid attachment and removal. This feature is particularly useful in dynamic situations where flexibility and speed are required, such as transitioning between different firearms or configurations. The raised base also provides a lower 1/3 co-witness with iron sights, which can be advantageous for maintaining situational awareness. However, users should ensure their rail systems are compatible with the 1" Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rail specifications to maximize the sight's stability and reliability.

The EXPS3 offers multiple reticle options to suit various shooting preferences and scenarios. These include configurations like the 68 MOA ring with 1 MOA center dot, which is excellent for quick target acquisition, and the 1 MOA single dot for precision aiming. The choice of reticle can significantly impact performance, especially in diverse environments ranging from close-quarters to medium-range engagements. However, selecting the right reticle depends on the user's specific needs and shooting style. To explore more about optics and reticle choices, check our Optics, Sights & Lasers collection.

The EXPS3 is engineered for true two-eyes-open shooting. This capability enhances peripheral vision and situational awareness, which is critical in tactical scenarios or when engaging multiple targets. By allowing both eyes to remain open, the shooter can maintain a full field of view while still focusing on the reticle, reducing eye strain and improving reaction times. However, mastering this technique requires practice to ensure that the shooter can effectively transition between focusing on the target and the reticle.

The EXPS3 is water-resistant up to 33 feet (10 meters). This feature ensures that the sight can withstand harsh weather conditions and accidental submersion, making it reliable for use in various environments. However, while the sight is robust, it is not designed for prolonged underwater use or deep diving scenarios. Users should always ensure the battery compartment is securely closed to maintain water resistance. For more on maintaining your gear in extreme conditions, see our Winter Storm Survival article.

The EXPS3 offers a battery life of approximately 1,000 hours at setting 12. This extended battery life is crucial for prolonged operations or missions where changing batteries might not be feasible. However, users should be mindful of the brightness settings they use, as higher settings can reduce battery longevity. It's advisable to carry spare CR123 batteries as a precaution.

The EXPS3 measures 3.8 inches by 2.3 inches by 2.9 inches and weighs 11.2 ounces. Its compact size and lightweight design make it highly portable and easy to mount on a variety of firearms without adding significant bulk. This is particularly beneficial for users who need to maintain maneuverability in close-quarter scenarios. However, while the size and weight are optimized for portability, users should ensure that their firearm's balance and handling are not adversely affected.

The EXPS3 is built to withstand a range of environmental conditions. Its water resistance up to 33 feet and robust construction make it suitable for use in wet and rugged environments. The sight's durability is further enhanced by its ability to function in both extreme heat and cold, making it a versatile choice for diverse climates. However, users should regularly inspect and maintain their sight to ensure optimal performance, especially after exposure to harsh conditions.

The EXPS3 comes with a Prop 65 warning due to potential exposure to chemicals. This warning is a legal requirement in the state of California, indicating that the product may contain chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Users should handle the sight according to the manufacturer's instructions and avoid unnecessary exposure to any internal components. For those concerned about chemical exposure, it's advisable to research further into Prop 65 and consider additional protective measures.
