MANSFIELD, Texas — Sightmark’s AAT5G Green Laser Designator, a green laser with the same design concepts as the recently released AACT5R Red Laser Designator, was recently tested by a member of the National Tactical Officers Association’s (NTOA) Member Tested and Recommended Program.
It scored 4.02 out of 5. An NTOA member stated, “It was simple to zero and once set (the AAT5G) maintained its (zero) over the many trips to the range during the testing for this review.” Another NTOA member said, “I had a chance to test the green laser (AAT5G) from Sightmark. It is amazing how bright this thing is.” The mentioned NTOA members are police officers located in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The company says the AAT5G can be seen as far as 50 yards on bright clear days and over a mile on fog-free nights. The base adjustable laser module is attached to a Weaver mount. The AAT5G will attach to most Weaver rails. The base adjustable design uses x and y (windage and elevation) adjustable Allen type screws that lock in place with the tightening of a third screw.
James Sellers, CEO of Sightmark’s parent company, stated, “The top priority when developing the AAT5G was to create a unit that is easy to sight, maintained zero and was bright enough to see in all lighting situations.”
The AAT5G is compact enough for rifles and long barreled handguns, measuring 1.125″ wide by 2.25″ tall by 3.4″ long. The Green Laser Designator is powered by a CR-123A battery and it uses a regular push button on/off switch that can be operated with the weak hand’s index finger when in a shooting position.
