CVLife Wildhawk X Solar MRD

The most common hesitancy shooters have with switching to a red dot as their primary optic is the battery and reliability. There’s a fear that the battery will die at the worst possible moment. A few years ago, Holosun came up with a solution by adding a mini solar panel to their micro reflex sights. CVLife has introduced a budget version of this same concept in the Wildhawk X.

The Wildhawk X is a motion-activated, multi-reticle micro reflex with a 2 MOA dot and a 40 MOA circle or a combination of both. The green-dot version features a slightly smaller 32 MOA circle for some reason. Apart from a different colored tint to the lens, there is no functional difference between the two versions. Both feature a RMR footprint with a base almost (but not quite) low enough to use factory iron sights.

The WildHawk is powered by a 1632 coin battery but if the battery power dies, the unit can be powered directly through solar panels built in top of its frame. The unit has no internal battery so the solar panel directly powers the unit. What that effectively means is that the unit does require sunlight or a bright light to function in this mode; it will not work without battery power in the dark. In addition, the solar panel functions as a light sensor when auto-brightness mode is engaged.

The WildHawk runs about half the price of the Holosun HE507C but comes with a lot more accessories. The box includes a MOS to RMR adapter plate, a Pictatinny riser mount, and a whole bunch of screw sets to help you fit it the Wilhawk onto your RMR cut pistol slide.

Micro Reflex sights are becoming increasingly more and more reliable. But even a 50,000-hour run time is a theoretical maximum under ideal conditions. Adding a solar panel as a backup power source makes a lot of sense.

OLight OSight S

Last year, Olight released the OSight, a revolutionary micro reflex sight (MRD) with a unique wireless charging cover. The OSight features an oversized window, which is great for fast target acquisition and re-engaging the target during rapid fire. However, a large window is a negative for those who want to mount an MRD onto a compact concealed carry pistol. OLight created the OSight S to address this issue.

The OSIght S (presumably this stands for “small) uses an RMSc footprint and is one of the smallest enclosed emitter red dots available. It is roughly half the physical size of the OSight but its smaller size means it also has a smaller battery. Fully charged an OSight can run for up to 21,000 hours, which is over 2 years. For those concerned with a non-replaceable internal battery, the OSight comes with a cover that displays the OSights battery charge level. Moreover, this cover functions as a mini-powerbank, capable of recharging the OSight up to 4 times.

Despite its small size the OSight S has the full-sized OSight X’s changeable reticle system. The user can press the “-” button to switch between a 2 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, and a circle-dot reticle. This feature makes the OSight S one of the smallest MRDs on the market and also the most versatile.
