The EOTech OGL-C is the civilian-legal version of the On-Gun Laser that has been restricted to military and law enforcement since 2023. RECOIL TV host Tom Marshall walks through the OGL-C at Boulder City Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City, Nevada, covering the co-aligned green visible and IR aiming lasers, the VCSEL infrared illuminator, and the control layout that sets it apart from an AN/PEQ-15. Then we take it out on the line at last light to show what it does after dark. Here’s everything we shot and the new gear we got our hands on: EOTech OGL-C (On-Gun Laser, Commercial Power): eye-safe consumer version of the MIL/LE-restricted OGL, $2,199 MSRP, black or tan Co-aligned aim lasers: 515nm green visible and 830nm IR share windage and elevation, so a daylight zero carries straight over to night vision VCSEL IR illuminator: sliding lever runs infinitely from spot to flood with no detents, roughly 30 MRAD to 105 MRAD Rear mode selector: clicked positions for visible, IR, and IR plus illuminator, high and low, with stop screws to lock out high power Crane-style remote port: takes any standard tape switch. This rifle runs a Unity Tactical pad driving the laser plus a SureFire white light Housing and power: machined aluminum, 8 oz, 4.1 x 2.3 x 1.5 inches, one CR123 for up to 9 hours Why you can trust RECOIL Since our founding in 2012, RECOIL remains the premier firearms lifestyle publication for the modern shooting enthusiast.
