Holosun RML-IR IR Laser for Pistol
The Holosun RML-IR is a super compact IR laser made specifically for pistol setups where you want night vision capability without adding bulk. It’s IR-only, so it’s built purely for use with NVGs—no visible laser, no extras—just a clean aiming point in the dark. The lightweight polymer housing keeps it small and easy to run, while still being tough enough to handle recoil and rough use. You’ve got ambidextrous controls, simple mounting with rail adapters, and solid windage/elevation adjustments that hold zero. It’s basically a budget-friendly, no-frills way to add IR aiming to a handgun without overcomplicating your setup.
