Night-time engagement and low-light awareness are critical considerations for anyone equipping a defensive rifle. Modern optics that fuse red-dot speed with digital night-vision capability can transform situational awareness on duty or in home defense scenarios.

HOLOSUN DRS-NV — a digital reflex sight with integrated night vision — brings a practical blend of daytime red dot performance and a dedicated digital NV sensor.

Core features that matter on duty

The HOLOSUN DRS-NV integrates an LED MRS (Multi-Reticle System) with two digital reticle options, offering a 2 MOA dot paired with a 65 MOA circle for rapid target acquisition. The digital night vision module uses a 1024×768 sensor capable of 60 FPS and provides up to 8x digital zoom — useful for identifying subjects at extended distances in low light. On-board image and video recording with internal storage lets operators document critical events without adding external cameras.

Power is handled by a rechargeable 18350 cell and an on-board USB-C connector for charging and file transfer, simplifying logistics in the field. The optic includes flip-cap lens covers to protect glass while allowing immediate use of the NV module when needed. Price for this capability is $999.99 — a premium for integrated digitized NV and recording functions. Shop this product

Mounting, zeroing, and durability

The built-in clamp mount is designed for any standard 1913 Picatinny rail interface, so installation is straightforward on patrol rifles or precision carbine platforms. Windage and elevation adjust at 0.5 MOA per click, enabling fine zeroing to match ballistic profiles or ammunition changes. Robust flip caps and a compact footprint keep the optic protected without adding unnecessary snag points.

Operational use and tactics

For close-quarters or personal defense, the fast-acquisition 2 MOA dot with the 65 MOA circle aids rapid sight alignment. When ambient light drops below usable levels, the digital NV sensor preserves target identification and provides video evidence via internal storage—valuable for after-action review. The 8x digital zoom helps when scanning down short to medium engagement lanes.
