Indiana's own AAoptics has them in stock now: https://aaoptics.com/VORTEX-RAZOR-AMG-UH1-GEN-II-HOLOGRAPHIC-SIGHT-_p_757.htmlLooking more into this one. Now I’ve shot behind Vortex scopes and they are a decent scope I can’t complain. The chinese thing I’m finding out is not their whole lineup….. and this one is made in the US and has my attention:
AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight
When you rely on a tactical optic to keep you in the game, you’ve got to be ready to shine, day or night. The AMG UH-1 Gen II is the close-quarters solution you’ve been asking for.vortexoptics.com
I have pretty severe astigmatism in both eyes and I rarely have trouble with red dots. The two biggest factors for me are that I always get astigmatism correcting lenses on my eyewear and when I use red dots with adjustable brightness levels, I adjust them down to the lowest setting that is still visible.I'd like to try out an Eotech if I ever get some range time with someone who owns one. From what I've read, red dots work for people who don't have astigmatism, holographics work for about 50% of people with astigmatism, and prisms just work irrespective of astigmatism.
I got a decent deal o the UH-1 to try since it's a new technology for me. The Huey is usable with my stronger, lefthand eye, but the optic is currently on a RH ejecting semi auto that I don't love shooting lefty. I could swap it around onto my LH guns, but I'm curious about prism optics and would like to try them out. Worst case is they end up for plinking fun or sold to someone who wants an affordable optic.
I appreciate the insight. Truthfully, I haven't spent a lot of time behind them. With it on my right eye, it's enough to throw me off bullseye. With my dominant eye it's not such an issue at lower intensity.I have pretty severe astigmatism in both eyes and I rarely have trouble with red dots.

Astigmatism wreaks havoc on my ability to see a clean round dot on anything using LED illumination.
Most red dots don't suffer that bad of parallax error unless you're trying to shoot to the limits of your rifle and ammo combination. The MRO is the only modern highend red dot I'm aware of that exhibits significant enough parallax error to potentially present a problem.If your thinking of an eotech, understand , it is not a red dot. It is a holographic sight. On a red dot you need to center the dot in the glass to hit your zero. This is not true for an eotech. I have two and I love them. Don't get the aa battery version. They have the batteries in line with recoil and have a problem with losing power under recoil once they are older. Red dot sights will have a massive battery life. That's the main pro of a red dot. Hope this helps.
Yes it is…..Is this for the KP-9? Get a Russian Kobra or something similar from Kalinka or Ivan Tactical.
Yes it is…..
Boy howdy, would a Kobra look awesome on it. Or hell - go big and find an OKP-7 or 1P87.
Does AAOPTICS carry these?Looking more into this one. Now I’ve shot behind Vortex scopes and they are a decent scope I can’t complain. The chinese thing I’m finding out is not their whole lineup….. and this one is made in the US and has my attention:

While they're cool, they aren't in the same ballpark of quality as even a holosun.
Russian electro-optics are very dodgy to say the least... There's a reason all the russian special forces buy american optics, eotechs are their favorite.
Now a PK-AS or a Rakurs... That's a different discussion.
If buying from a reputable seller and not beating the absolute dog snot out of it, any of these Russian optics will more than suffice, especially for OP's Vityaz clone. I say that as the owner of more than a dozen variants, none of which have so much as depleted a battery, let alone fully crapped out. The worst I've had to do was remove gunky U.S. customs fingerprints from the glass of one optic, after it was shipped from Moscow, seized at JFK and held for about two months.
Plenty of Spetsnaz operators still rocking Russian optics today. Obviously there's nothing wrong with an EOTech either.
If they've gotten better over the years, I may have to look into a kobra.
But about 15 years ago I remember seeing a lot of failure reports for them.
