A holographic sight or red dot is fast, but eventually the target image gets small. At 150 m, 200 m or further, you want to see more details without permanently turning your 1x setup into a classic scope. That’s exactly where a magnifier comes in.

The EOTECH G45.STS Magnifier offers 5x magnification behind a compatible EOTECH HWS setup and can be quickly flipped out of the line of sight via the switch-to-side mount. This keeps the base setup fast but adds significantly more target image and detail recognition when needed.

This product page refers to the STS version. The magnifier is delivered in the chosen color with switch-to-side mount, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specific variant.

Key Features


5x magnification: more detail recognition than classic 3x magnifiers, especially at medium distances.

Switch-to-side mount: quick switch between 1x use and magnified target image.

Compatible with EOTECH HWS models: designed by the manufacturer for all EOTECH HWS models.

Quick-detach attachment: for 1-inch Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rails according to manufacturer specs.

Tool-free elevation and windage adjustment: helps align magnifier and HWS precisely.

Eye relief 66 mm: important for correct positioning on the rail and repeatable head position.

Black or tan: color variant selectable to match your setup.

Our Assessment
The G45.STS makes sense if you deliberately want more magnification than a 3x magnifier. 5x helps identify smaller targets, observe point of impact, and suits setups needing more precision at medium distances without switching to a scope.

The tradeoff is a narrower use than 3x: the higher the magnification, the more important eye relief, head position, and precise mounting become. The G45 is strong when you really need extra range and detail. For close-range work or very dynamic 1x use, a magnifier is often unnecessary or a 3x model more comfortable.

Black-Raptor short summary:
Buy if you want to upgrade your EOTECH HWS setup with 5x magnification and value quick switching between 1x and magnified target image.
Don’t buy if you only shoot short distances, want the lightest possible setup, or actually want a classic scope with reticle and independent adjustment.

Practical Tip: Position first, then zero
Don’t just mount the magnifier behind the HWS because there’s space. First build your natural shooting position, check eye relief, stock position, and flip path. Then align the magnifier to the HWS. If your head position isn’t right, 5x quickly becomes tiring.

Important Consideration Before Purchase
The G45.STS does not replace a scope. It extends an existing 1x HWS setup. That means your HWS remains the primary sight, the magnifier enlarges the image behind it. For proper use, height, rail position, eye relief, and flip path must fit your firearm.

If you choose between EOTECH magnifiers, the G45 is the more detailed 5x option. G33 and G43 with 3x are often faster and a bit more compact.
nter im Handling. The G45 is worth it if you really use this additional magnification.

Merkmale & Konstruktion


STS mount: allows the magnifier to be folded to the side.

Quick-detach lever: makes mounting and removal on a compatible rail easier.

Diopter adjustment: helps to focus the image for your own eye.

Water resistant: specified by the manufacturer up to 10 m depth.

Fog-resistant internal optics: fog resistant internal optics according to the manufacturer.

Technical Data


Magnification: 5x – significantly more detail recognition than 3x, but more demanding on head position and target acquisition.

Dimensions: 99 × 58.4 × 83.8 mm – important for space behind the HWS and folding clearance.

Weight with STS mount: 362.9 g – relevant for balance and overall weight of the firearm.

Weight without STS mount: 269.3 g according to manufacturer specifications.

Mounting: 1-inch Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 rail.

Eye relief: 66 mm – determines how far the magnifier must be positioned from the eye.

Field of view: 4 degrees – narrower at 5x than at 3x, but more detail.

Operating temperature: -40 °C to 60 °C according to manufacturer specifications.

Color: Black or Tan depending on selection.

Quick Start Guide

Note: Check HWS compatibility, mounting height, rail standard, eye relief, and available space behind the optic before purchase. The magnifier only works properly if it fits mechanically and ergonomically with your existing setup.

FAQ

Is the STS mount included with this product page?
Yes, this product page is set up as the STS version. The magnifier is delivered with switch-to-side mount unless otherwise explicitly stated in the specific variant.

Does the G45 fit all EOTECH HWS?
According to the manufacturer, the G45 is compatible with all EOTECH HWS models. Still, you should check mounting height, rail space, and eye relief on your specific setup.

What is the advantage over a 3x magnifier?
The 5x magnification offers more detail recognition at medium distances. The image is narrower and the head position more demanding than with 3x.

Can I use the G45 without HWS?
No, the G45 is useful as a magnifier behind a suitable sight. It is not a standalone sight with its own reticle.

Which color should I choose?
Black fits classic black setups, Tan fits FDE or sand-colored components. Technically decisive are mounting height, rail standard, and ergonomics, not the color.
