Holosun IRIS GR3 - Compact Triple-Function Laser & IR Illuminator for Daylight and Night Vision Rifle Setups
- The Holosun IRIS GR3 is a compact, triple-function laser aiming device built for streamlined rifle setups in both daylight and night-vision environments. Field-proven to withstand demanding operational conditions, this system integrates a visible green laser, an infrared pointer, and a VCSEL illuminator into a lightweight aluminum body. It delivers precise targeting capabilities and environmental awareness without adding unnecessary bulk to your weapon.
- Resist Extreme Impact (1000G & IPX8 Submersion): The 7075-T6 aluminum housing easily handles heavy recoil and total water submersion during harsh field operations. It weighs only 6.4 ounces and sits 20% lower on the rail than previous models, keeping your rifle maneuverable and snag-free.
- Illuminate Targets in Total Darkness (60mW VCSEL IR): The high-output infrared illuminator dramatically improves target identification for operators relying on night vision. A glove-friendly, top-mounted slider lets you instantly adjust the beam from a wide flood for close quarters to a tight, focused spot for long-distance engagements.
- Zero Both Lasers Simultaneously (<5mW Green & <0.7mW IR): The visible green and infrared lasers are fully co-aligned inside the unit. You can zero the entire system during the day using the crisp Class 3R green laser and trust that your IR night-vision aiming point is perfectly on target.
- Activate Instantly Under Pressure (1x CR123A Battery): A center-positioned fire button gives you fast ambidextrous control for both momentary and constant-on activation. The included Crane-plug pressure pad provides complete remote control over laser and illumination modes, all powered by a single field-accessible battery.
Holosun IRIS GR3 - Product Accessories
- MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rails: The Holosun IRIS GR3 attaches directly to standard Picatinny rails. Adding or upgrading your rails ensures your laser system stays tightly secured to your rifle during heavy recoil or rough handling. A solid rail creates a rigid base, so your visible and IR lasers stay perfectly zeroed.
- Mounts Collection: Finding the right mounting setup is critical to keep your rifle balanced and your gear easy to reach. Browse the full collection of mounts to find the perfect angle and placement for your specific rifle setup. The right mount helps you seamlessly integrate the laser system with your other tools without adding extra bulk to your handguard.
- Optic Collections: Laser devices mounted on the top rail can sometimes block the lower edge of your primary optic's view. Browse our full collection of optics to find your red dot or scope slightly above the IRIS GR3. This keeps your line of sight completely clear while preserving your full night-vision capabilities.

Holosun IRIS GR3 - FAQs
Does the Holosun IRIS 3 project any artifacts downrange?
The IRIS 3 is designed to project a crisp aiming dot and a clean illuminated area. Some users have noted minor optical anomalies like faint rings depending on the environment, but it should generally provide a clear targeting picture.
What is the difference between a red dot and laser sights?
A red dot sight is an optic you look through that places an aiming dot over your target, while a laser sight projects a beam of light directly onto the target itself.
How do I clean my Holosun laser?
Before cleaning the lenses, always blow away coarse dirt or sand. Then, carefully wipe the glass with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals like alcohol or acetone, and do not try to take the unit apart.
Why do some people choose other lasers over the IRIS 3?
While the IRIS 3 is highly rated for its compact size and triple-function output (combining a green laser, IR laser, and VCSEL IR illuminator), some users prefer much more expensive, specialized units for specific, high-end mission requirements. However, many consider the IRIS 3 to be one of the best and most capable options in its price range.
Is there a tan or FDE version of the Holosun IRIS 3?
Currently, the standard Holosun IRIS 3 models come in a black, hard-anodized finish. Check with specific retailers or Holosun directly to see whether they plan to release other color variations.
Where can I purchase the Holosun IRIS GR3?
You can buy Holosun IRIS GR3 directly from Atomic Defense. As an Authorized Dealer, we carry the Holosun IRIS GR3 for sale with full factory coverage, reliable domestic shipping, and expert customer support to help complete your night-vision rifle setup.
