Description
This compact dual-laser aiming system delivers professional-grade IR and visible laser capability at 45% less weight than previous-generation models.
Night vision operations demand precise aiming without the bulk of traditional laser units. The IRIS-RD2 combines a visible red laser for daytime zeroing and an infrared laser for night vision operations in a housing that weighs just 5 ounces and sits 21% lower on your rail than the LS221 series it replaces. The co-aligned laser design means you can zero both lasers simultaneously using the visible laser during daylight, then seamlessly transition to IR functionality when operating with night vision devices.
Key Features
- Significant Weight Reduction: At 5 ounces, the IRIS-RD2 is 45% lighter than the previous LS221 series while maintaining professional-grade durability
- Co-Aligned Dual Lasers: Visible red (5mW Class 3R) and infrared (0.7mW Class 1) lasers zero synchronously for rapid daytime setup and night vision operations
- Center-Positioned Fire Button: Ambidextrous activation supports both momentary and constant-on modes with tactile, glove-friendly operation
- Precision Adjustments: Windage and elevation adjustments at 0.5 MOA per click with 100 MOA total adjustment range for accurate zeroing
Important Compatibility Notes
- Fits standard Picatinny/1913 rail systems
- Remote pressure switch included features dual-button design with Crane-style plug
- Powered by single CR123A battery (not included)
- Requires night vision devices to utilize IR laser functionality
Why We Carry It
The IRIS series represents a significant shift in civilian-accessible laser aiming technology. Multiple industry reviewers have noted that Holosun’s IRIS line delivers performance typically found in military-contract units costing two to three times more while maintaining the compact footprint modern rifle builders demand. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction provides the durability expected from premium optics manufacturers, and the IRIS-RD2’s streamlined design leaves valuable rail space for lights, optics, and other mission-essential equipment. User feedback consistently highlights the intuitive control layout and the advantage of having both visible and IR capabilities in a single lightweight unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I zero both lasers without using night vision equipment?
Yes. The visible red laser and IR laser are co-aligned, meaning when you zero the visible laser during daylight, the IR laser is simultaneously zeroed to the same point of impact. This eliminates the need for night vision equipment during the zeroing process.
What is the battery life on a single CR123A?
Battery life varies based on which laser mode you’re using and whether you’re operating in momentary or constant-on mode. For extended operations, carrying spare CR123A batteries is recommended as they’re widely available and affordable.
Is this laser system durable enough for hard use on a duty rifle?
Yes. The IRIS-RD2 features 7075-T6 aluminum construction, IPX8 waterproof rating, and is tested to withstand 1000G vibration loads. The housing and optical components are backed by Holosun’s lifetime warranty, while the illumination system (LED/electronics) carries a 10-year warranty from the manufacture date.
