RECOVER TACTICAL S-PRO PISTOL STABILIZER

CONVERSION KIT REVIEW

What Is the S-PRO? The S-PRO is a modular pistol stabilizer/conversion chassis that turns a standard pistol into a more stable, controllable, and customizable platform without permanent modifications. It ships in a brace configuration and can quickly convert to a buttstock for a more rifle-like setup by removing the brace attachment.

It is designed to fit numerous Glock pistols, Canik and PDP. The Recover Tactical S-PRO is a major jump in build quality and modularity over the original 20/20 series. (I took this from someone off the net) While the 20/20 was a budget-friendly polymer brace, the S-PRO moves into the "prosumer" space with a metal spine and a much more rigid design. The S-PRO is best described as a modular PDW chassis. It bridges the gap between a standard handgun and a dedicated Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC). If you own multiple pistols (Glock, Walther, Canik) and want one high-quality system to stabilize them all, the S-PRO is currently one of the most cost-effective ways to do it.

I first saw the S-Pro at GunCon 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio. I was familiar with their 20/20 but I liked this one much better. It seemed simple, rugged and has a nice spring out stabilizing brace. I talked to the guys there and they sent me one in for review. I was excited to get it, because pcc and chassis systems are all the rage right now. Plus from the price standpoint, it is a lot cheaper than most other systems in this price range. I can attest to this after my last build of a chassis system pistol build.

This system is a no tools needed to assemble. It basically attaches to the front rail and trigger guard. It has a hinged front plate that closes around the front of the frame and trigger guard. This is connected to your stabilizing brace. The item that launches out the back. It then has a blast shield that slides over the bottom of the main piece and the folding latch. It has a button that locks it all in together. Lastly is the front spare mag holder, fore grip or whatever you want to call it. It too has a button to take it on and off. The mag holder has a large button that is on the edge that sorta wraps around, when pressed you can take your spare mag out. The rear of the pistol itself you have to remove the rear sight to place a simple snap in cocking handle on the rear of the slide to charge it. I was not really happy with this part, my thinking was if I wanted to carry it, as just a plain handgun, I would have to replace the rear sight and go to the range to sight it back in. The main chassis has a metal frame covered with the matching polymer that extends to the rear of the firearm. In this metal frame is a heck of a spring that shoots a metal bar out the back that has the tailhook brace on it. The brace has an adjustable cheek weld that is held in by a single screw. Putting the tail hook in was the only screwing that needed to be done.

Once assembled I placed a green dot STD closed emitter from Atibal on top. This is the only way you can sight because of the height of your head once placed down on the brace. It does give it some extra height but we have to see what we are shooting at. It has a single sling QD hole on the right side of the frame. I did carry this at the range and in the field and it was almost like it wasn't there.

At the range I found it easier to hold the pistol in my right hand and reach over to engage the button to release to brace. It will shoot out into place unless something gets in its way to stop it. Then you can give it a tug or shove it back in and try the button again. With practice you will have it shooting straight out into place and not hitting it on anything. Racking the slide was simple, just grab the dog ear and give it a yank back and you're in business. I did find it difficult to do with gloves on so I opted to do it bare handed. There is some texture on the ear that is pleasant on the fingers. I would like to see a redesign in the cocking ear to keep the rear sight and be larger to get a better hold on it.

Shooting the S-Pro was straight forward, just rest your cheek on the pad and go to work. The recoil was minimal. Reloads will take a bit to get used to because grabbing the mag from the front carrier is not in my muscle memory yet. The mag is not drop free and will take a bit of force to get it out.

Overall the Recover Tactical S-Pro is a great platform if someone is looking to be more stable and have 3 points of contact on the pistol. With the green dot I was shooting at 25 and 50 yards and hitting a man sized target with no problem. I think if someone picked up a police trade in glock and wanted to have a PCC, truck gun or a bag gun, this is a viable option. The S-Pro provides great contact, ease of use and you already know how reliable your pistol is.

Aimwin PE320

Enclosed Emitter

Red dot Review

In today's market, there are a bunch of good pistol style red dots. They basically come in two categories: open emitter and closed emitter. Aimwin recently released their PE320. The PE320 is an enclosed emitter red dot with a multi-reticle system and a solar fail safe.

As with any quality red dot, the Aimwin PE320 comes with everything needed. In the box you get the optic, a battery, extra screws (including one for the battery tray), wrenches, cleaning cloth, etc. Probably the most important included item is the Acro to RMR adapter. This gives you the ability to mount it on anything that uses the RMR mounting footprint. There are lots of pistol options using a direct RMR footprint.

Mounting the PE320 is pretty straightforward. However, it does come with two options. If you happen to have something with an ACRO mounting footprint, like a riser or a plate adapter, you can mount the PE320 directly to that. If you have a direct mount RMR cut/footprint, you can use the supplied ACRO to RMR adapter. This is what I did. Just screw down the RMR plate onto your slide and then clamp on the PE320. It's really that easy.

Now that the Aimwin PE320 is mounted, you can take it to the range. To initially turn on the PE320, just click the “+” button. The buttons to control the PE320 are located on the left side of the optic. These are rubberized raised buttons labeled “+” and “-”. They are pretty large and easy to use, even if you are wearing gloves. Of course, tapping on a “+” or “-” button will increase or decrease the brightness of the red dot. There are 11 total brightness settings, the 2 lowest are night vision compatible. Now that the PE320 is on, you can sight it in. A nice feature on the Aimwin is its click adjustable windage and elevation screws. Each click adjusts the point of impact 1 MOA, which is fine for these types of red dots. Now that it is sighted in, and you want to completely turn it off, just hold down the “-” button until the dot disappears.

The PE320 uses Aimwin's “aim awake” feature. The “aim awake” is their auto on/off feature. Once you turn on the PE320 this feature is enabled. Aim Awake works like any of the other auto on/off systems. After the optic sits idle for a short time, the dot will turn off. Once you barely move the optic, the dot will turn back on. The aim awake feature helps with battery life, giving the PE320 around 50,000 hours of run time. I am a huge fan of these auto on/off features.

Aimwin's PE320 is not just a red dot. It features a multi-reticle system. So you get the option of either a circle dot, just a circle, or just a red dot. If using one of the options with the circle, the circle also has little hash marks in it that are located every 90 degrees (similar to an Eotech). To cycle through these 3 reticle options, just hold down the “+” button until it changes. The PE320 uses a 36 MOA circle with a 3 MOA dot, or any combination of the three. I like having reticle options and the PE320's are useful for whatever you need or want.

The multi-reticle system of the PE320 is housed inside a large window. How large is the window? 0.94 inches wide by 0.79 inches high. It's a big window, which is really nice for finding the reticle. However, because of its large window, the PE320 is a little wider than a lot of the enclosed ACRO footprint optics. This isn't bad or good, it really just depends on what trade offs you want.

The last notable feature of the PE320 is the solar panel on top of the optics housing. This solar panel adds a “solar failsafe” to the optic. So if your battery is low, and there is enough light, you will still see the reticle. The Solar Failsafe also works when the battery is completely dead, as long as there is enough light. I tried it with the battery out, and the reticle still comes on under normal room lighting. Don't expect it to work in a dark room without a battery. The Solar Failsafe is a nice option to have, especially if you forget to change the battery out once a year. When you do need to change that battery, the PE320 uses a side mount battery tray for easy use.

I mounted the Aimwin PE320 to a Polymer 80 with a Grey Ghost slide. This particular slide is cut to direct mount an RMR footprint. So I ended up using the PE320’s ACRO to RMR plate. I chose this pistol because I use it in various different forms, one of those is using a Recover Tactical 20/80 brace system. This let me try out the PE320 in a chassis style system and as a standard pistol. I put a ton of rounds through it and even beat the crap out of the PE320. No loss of zero and no other problems, even when using the optic as a slide racker off the benches at the range. With the PE320’s adapter plate, the red dot does sit a little higher up on the pistol, but still below the top of the slide. If you want the PE320 to co-witness with iron sights, you will probably have to get some suppressor height ones. Those still might not be tall enough to clear the PE320’s deck height. Speaking of size, the PE320 is large for a pistol style red dot. Not so much height wise, but more width wise. It definitely is wider than a standard Glock slide. I only see this as a problem if you are carrying it inside the waistband. On a rifle, this could be a bonus. Especially since the window size on the PE320 is fantastic. It made finding the dot real easy. I like the 3 MOA dot size, it is a good compromise between speed and accuracy. Since I live in Oregon, it also rains a lot here. Having an enclosed system also makes it way easier to wipe the rain off of the lenses.

If you are in the market for an enclosed style pistol red dot, the Aimwin PE320 might be worth looking at. It has a decently large window and different reticle options. Being larger in size, it would also make a good rifle dot. If you forget to change your battery, it might still work for you thanks to that solar failsafe. It is also durable and held up to my abuse.
