In this video, Riley Bowman from ConcealedCarry.com unboxes and gives a first-look overview of the new Osight XR enclosed red dot optic for pistols.

You’ll see what comes in the box, including the magnetic charging cover, full multi-screw mounting kit, tools, cable, and accessories that make setup on a variety of optics-ready pistols much simpler. Riley breaks down why the enclosed emitter design matters for real concealed carry and defensive use, especially keeping debris away from the emitter and making the optic easier to maintain over time.

We walk through the Osight XR’s 5-position multi‑reticle system: 2 MOA dot, 6 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, and the dot‑plus‑circle combinations so you can tailor precision or speed for your application. Riley explains why larger 6 MOA style dots can be an advantage for many everyday carriers and competitors who want faster, more intuitive visual pickup.

Riley also highlights the RMR footprint compatibility, generous window size, and integrated pop‑up rear sight option, showing how the XR sits on a training pistol and how easily it can co‑witness with typical backup irons when the slide is cut appropriately. You’ll see how the aspherical lens, 7075‑T6 aluminum housing, and duty‑oriented design aim to balance durability with a manageable size for midsize and full‑size carry guns.

One of the most unique features is the internal, non‑user‑serviceable battery paired with the patented magnetic charging cover, which displays charge status for both the optic and the cover and can keep the dot running for months on a single top‑off. Riley talks through what this means for realistic maintenance schedules, training days, and competition use so you don’t end up with a dead optic when it matters.

If you’re considering an enclosed emitter pistol optic for concealed carry, home defense, or competition and want to understand where the Osight XR fits in that landscape, this unboxing and overview will give you a grounded, practical first look.
