Holosun IRIS-1-IR Compact infrared aiming Laser, 830 nm nm Laser, 7075 Aluminium, IP 68, Picatinny
Holosun IRIS-1-IR – tactical infrared laser for NV work
The Holosun IRIS-1-IR is a compact infrared laser aiming device specifically designed to work with night vision equipment and tactical systems that rely on invisible IR illumination. It provides a clear IR aiming point in a spectrum invisible to the naked eye but easily picked up by NV devices, allowing precise shooting in total darkness without a visible beam that would give away your position.
The anodized 7075-T6 aluminum housing and IPX8/IP68 protection make the IRIS-1-IR suitable for use in wet, cold and dusty environments – from night hunting to tactical training and NV work in demanding field conditions. Its compact shape and top-mounted controls fit well on modern rifles, PCC carbines and tactical shotguns.

Performance in real night-time conditions
The IRIS-1-IR shows its strengths at night when paired with modern night vision optics. The IR laser is invisible to unaided observers but produces a clear, high-contrast dot in the NV image, allowing fast target acquisition and confident shooting in total darkness without a visible beam that draws attention. This is especially important for hunting wary game, tactical scenarios and situations where low signature is critical.
The wide adjustment range in elevation and windage lets you match the IR dot to the bullet trajectory at your chosen distance (for example 50–100 m with a specific NV sight). The fine click value helps you align the NV point of aim with actual impacts as closely as possible, which is essential for reliable night-time shots.
Installation, zeroing and maintenance
The Holosun IRIS-1-IR mounts on standard Picatinny / Weaver rails and is compatible with most modern rifles and tactical shotguns. The process mirrors the visible laser versions: place the module on the handguard or top rail, align it with the bore axis, and evenly tighten the mounting screw without over-torquing.
Zeroing the IR laser is done using your night vision device: choose a distance, fire a test group under night conditions, then use the elevation and windage screws to move the IR dot into the center of the group. This way, the NV image and real-world ballistics are brought into alignment.
Maintenance is straightforward: keep the IR window clean with a soft cloth, ensure the battery compartment cap is fully closed, and periodically verify zero after heavy use or transport. With proper mounting, the IRIS-1-IR holds its settings well and runs reliably even on higher‑recoil calibers.
