Primary Arms' HTX-1: A Completely US-Made Red Dot Sight
Forgotten Weapons

9m 46s
Primary Arms just recently announced their HTX-1 red dot, and it sounds pretty cool. From a technical perspective, it has a lot of good points - a clever adapter plate mounting system, two different reticles, and a fully enclosed emitter. However I think the more interesting (and less appreciated) story here is the work involved in actually producing a product like this completely in the US. So while at SHOT Show 2025, I stopped by the Primary Arms booth to talk to them about it.
