Overview

The Holosun AEMS EVO DUAL is the flagship of Holosun's 2026 SHOT Show lineup, combining the upgraded AEMS EVO enclosed sight with fully integrated visible green and infrared lasers. Like the ARO EVO DUAL, both lasers are slaved to the optic reticle for single-zero alignment, but the AEMS EVO DUAL adds a unique "Vis Override" mode: when running the optic at night vision brightness, a single button press instantly jumps the dot to full visible brightness for rapid transitions between dark and illuminated environments.

The expanded 1.26 x 0.98-inch viewing window from the AEMS EVO carries over, along with the forward-facing light sensor, Multi-Reticle System, and Solar Failsafe. The CR123A battery powers the combined optic and laser systems, with the higher-capacity cell offsetting the increased power draw from the laser emitters. A Crane-plug dual-button pressure pad provides remote activation of the visible and IR lasers independently.

Built from 7075-T6 aluminum with IPX8 waterproofing and 1000G vibration resistance, the AEMS EVO DUAL is the most capable enclosed sight Holosun has produced. The integrated laser eliminates the need for a separate PEQ or DBAL unit, freeing rail space and reducing weight compared to a two-device setup. At $824, the DUAL costs more than a standalone AEMS EVO but less than pairing any enclosed sight with a dedicated IR laser module.
