RECOIL has teamed up with EOTECH to give one lucky reader a serious pistol optic upgrade: the EOTECH EFLX-CE Closed Emitter Pistol Optic.
Known for professional-grade optics trusted by law enforcement, special operations professionals, and serious civilian shooters, EOTECH has built its reputation on speed, reliability, precision, and no-compromise performance. The EFLX-CE brings that same mindset to the pistol optic category with a rugged enclosed design built to keep the sight running when conditions get ugly.
Whether your pistol is set up for home defense, duty use, competition, range work, or simply because you like your gear squared away, the EFLX-CE is built to deliver.
The Prize: EOTECH EFLX-CE Closed Emitter Pistol Optic
The EOTECH EFLX-CE is a ruggedized, high-performance micro sight featuring a fully enclosed optical housing that protects the LED emitter from water, snow, mud, dirt, and debris. That closed-emitter design helps keep the optic clear and functional when an open-emitter sight could be compromised.
The housing is machined from billet 7075 aluminum and finished with a Type III anodized coating, giving it the durability expected from EOTECH gear. Crystal-clear front and rear glass windows help preserve a clean sight picture, while recessed top-mounted controls keep the buttons accessible without interfering with holsters.
The EFLX-CE uses a single CR2032 battery mounted on the right side of the optic and delivers roughly 25,000 hours of battery life with the single-dot reticle. It is compatible with the DeltaPoint Pro and Shield RMS-c footprints, making it an easy fit for many optics-ready pistol slides.
Multiple Reticles, Brightness Settings, and Smart Controls
The EFLX-CE gives shooters multiple reticle options, including:
- 3 MOA dot
- 42 MOA ring
- Ring/dot combination
Brightness settings include one night-vision-compatible mode and eight daytime settings, including an Ultra-Bright setting for fast reticle recognition in harsh daylight. Tactile windage and elevation turrets provide precise 1 MOA adjustments.
The optic also includes programmable sleep settings that can be set for 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 12 hours, or disabled completely. When sleep mode is activated, EOTECH’s shake-to-wake technology powers the optic back on with the slightest movement.
A configurable lockout mode helps prevent accidental brightness changes, and an integrated rear back-up iron sight is molded into the housing for added peace of mind if things go sideways.
Built for Real-World Use
EOTECH designed the EFLX-CE for users who demand speed, durability, and reliability from their gear. From defensive pistols to range guns to hard-use professional setups, this closed-emitter optic is built to help shooters confidently upgrade their pistol and improve performance.
The prize is the EOTECH EFLX-CE, model EFLXRCE1BLK, in black, with an MSRP of $479.
