    I haven’t been to SHOT show in years. It seems the innovation that’s coming out at this year show is leaps and bounds of what’s it’s been. This is truly the golden era of guns and accessories.

    An add on rail mount battery for the ‘pistol’ thermal would be a good idea for rifle use, especially in a piggyback or diving board configuration to help get on target in low light. Hog and predator control comes to mind.

    That electronic mode selector button on the IRIS needs to be a switch just like the power level one. The button is the most ass-backwards, common sense-defying decision they could have gone with. Besides that it looks amazing. It would be hilarious if their switches perform better than the Modbutton Lite.

    At this point I ask myself why don't they use the wireless tech to let you have it display in a monocle or integrated into smart glasses so the wielder/wearer can reach around corners and sweep a room (in thermal) without exposing themselves? Seems like a better use of such tech to me, but I like what Holosun is doing and just ordered the DRS Thermal.

    He mentioned the DarqIndustries video was full power. I'm gathering the video of the IRIS with the lackluster illuminator performance was the civilian power version which is disappointing. Hopefully they figure out the FDA regs and take advantage of the VCSEL for the civilian power version. Otherwise it's all pointless.
