Overview

The Holosun ARO EVO DUAL debuted at SHOT Show 2026 as a hybrid aiming system that integrates visible green and infrared lasers directly into the ARO EVO enclosed red dot platform. Both lasers project through the front lens of the optic itself, keeping the external profile clean while adding day/night versatility that typically requires a separate PEQ or DBAL unit. The visible green laser and IR laser are slaved to the optic reticle: zero one and all three aiming points align.

The optic side retains the ARO EVO's selectable 2 MOA dot and 65 MOA circle-dot reticle with Holosun's Solar Failsafe and Shake Awake technology. A forward-facing light sensor automatically adjusts reticle brightness to match the target environment, reducing the need for manual brightness cycling during transitions between indoor and outdoor shooting. The CR123A battery powers both the optic and laser systems, and a Crane-plug dual-button pressure pad is included for remote activation of the visible and IR lasers independently.

The ARO EVO DUAL ships with both a lower-third co-witness mount and a 1.93-inch mount for heads-up shooting positions. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, the optic maintains the enclosed emitter protection that defines the ARO line while adding meaningful capability for shooters who operate under night vision or need a visible laser for close-quarters point shooting. At $588, the DUAL undercuts standalone PEQ/DBAL units while consolidating two devices into one rail footprint.
