New for 2026 Eotech EXPS3 HD, All Aluminum HWS & New EFLX-CE (Closed Emitter) Reflex Sight

Major Pandemic's Bunker Bar - The brand new Optics from Eotech and they rock!

EOTECH Introduces the EFLX-CE Closed Emitter Mini

Reflex Sight

Plymouth, MI (January 2026) – EOTECH is committed to delivering high-

performing, dependable pistol optics that shooters can trust with their life.

This commitment continues with the introduction of the EFLX Closed

Emitter (EFLX-CE). Dedicated to meet the needs of our customer base,

the EFLX-CE provides a fully enclosed housing to protect the LED emitter

from damage or debris.

The EFLX-CE offers a durable, heavy-duty 7075 aluminum housing that

provides a square viewing window. Large, recessed, rubberized buttons are positioned on the top of the

housing making adjustments easy for both left and right-handed shooters. These buttons control eight

daytime brightness settings, including an ultra-bright level and night vision setting. And in case of

catastrophic situations, a built-in rear iron sight is integrated into the housing to get you through it.

The EFLX-CE’s improved electronics offer selectable reticle options that include either a 3MOA aiming

dot, 42MOA circle, or the circle/dot combination. Slots on the windage and elevation screws have been

enlarged to accommodate a tool, coin, or even spent brass. These adjustments offer precise 1MOA

clicks with the subtle audible sound and solid detent.

The EFLX-CE’s customized electronics offer a programmable

sleep mode function. Through simple button manipulation,

users can choose between a 10-minute, 1-hour, or 12-hour

sleep mode or disable this function entirely. While enabled,

and with even the slightest movement, the EFLX-CE can

power up through its Shake-Awake technology. A single

2032 battery provides approximately 25,000 hours of run time

with the single dot and when it’s time to change the battery,

an easy access, side-load battery compartment makes the

process quick and straightforward.

The mounting configuration is compatible with both Leupold® Delta Point Pro™ or Shield® RMS-c™

footprints. Two torx flathead fasteners and a tool are included for mounting the EFLX-CE to the slide.

The hardened EOTECH EFLX-CE removes the fear of LED damage or obscurity due to dirt, water, or

other debris. This lightweight, compact, and cost-effective optical solution was engineered with the

professional pistol shooter in mind. Consisting of both foreign and domestic parts, the EFLX-CE is proudly

assembled in the USA.

EOTECH Launches New EXPS3 HD, All Aluminum HWS

Plymouth, MI (January 2026) – When something is ultra-

tough and can withstand even the harshest conditions,

you must ask yourself “Why would I want to make this

even tougher?” The answer is because you can. For

over 30 years, EOTECH has been manufacturing

durable, dependable Holographic Weapon Sights for

use in law enforcement, military, competition, hunting

and recreational use. It has become the go-to 1X optic

you can count on. HWS optics were designed to include

a ruggedized aluminum hood that wraps around the

housing of the sight to provide extreme strength and

durability. Until now.

New for 2026, EOTECH introduces the EXPS3 HD, featuring an all-aluminum housing. This Heavy-Duty

model allows EOTECH to eliminate the aluminum hood and provide users with an enhanced field-of-view

and better situational awareness.

The EXPS3 HD includes a few new features never offered in an HWS. First, the rubberized buttons that

manipulate reticle brightness and NV settings, has been replaced with an easy-to-use rotary dial. This

dial offers 7 daylight and 4 night-vision brightness settings as well as an OFF

position. In addition, the dial offers an Auto-Brightness setting that automatically

adjusts to surrounding light conditions, removing the need for manual

adjustments. Lastly, the rotary dial allows EOTECH to incorporate Shake-Awake

technology that puts the optic in sleep mode after a period of inactivity. This

programmable sleep mode can be set to 10 minutes, 1-hour, 12-hours, or

disabled completely. This feature works in all daytime, NV, and auto-bright

settings and preserves battery life, while powering the optic on with only the

slightest movement.

The EXPS3 HD weighs the same as the legacy EXPS (11.2 oz) and is powered by a single, CR123

lithium battery. Integrated into the housing is a locking, adjustable quick-detach base that allows for

immediate removal or attachment. The trusty 68MOA ring and 1MOA aiming dot provides

uncompromising speed to target and accuracy. Both waterproof and fogproof, this battle-tested sight

works even if the sight window breaks or becomes partially obstructed.

The HD model is ideal for close to medium distance engagements. With its rugged metal construction and

its ability to withstand extreme levels of recoil, it can be used with virtually any firearm and caliber. The

Heavy Duty EXPS3 from EOTECH. The tough just got tougher.
