Optics and firearm accessories are subject to rigorous standards to ensure safety and performance. Not all products meet these standards equally.

For maximum assurance, we investigate the compliance of each product with all relevant industry standards and regulatory bodies. Our reviews take into account certifications from:

• The National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
• The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
• The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
• The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI)

We ensure that every product we recommend has passed the necessary checks for safety, quality, and performance.

Optics and firearm accessories are only as good as the experiences they enable in real-world scenarios. That's why we don't just rely on our own testing; we also extensively review and analyze customer feedback from a variety of sources.

We carefully sift through both positive and negative user reviews for every product we consider. This helps us to understand the full spectrum of user experiences. When possible, we reach out directly to customers to gain deeper insights into their opinions and experiences, ensuring that our recommendations are reflective of the community consensus
