This sounds like a great price. If I hadn’t already picked up a 507 I would go for this.

Put on your waiting pants folks I just waited 6 weeks for Glock mags from DACK. They’re a drop shipper and “In Stock” is a little creative. YMMV though! Deals can be worth the wait though.

Are we talking an RMR direct milled into the slide or utilizing a plate interface via an MOS cut?

It comes with an adapter so that it can be used with RMR cuts, but won’t work with cuts that have posts for the screws like Battlewerx or Brownells sides.

This is Dack Outdoors, I have ordered from them 4 times. My first three orders took about 4 weeks but I got them. My fourth order hit the 4 week mark and then they said it would be delayed longer than normal so I cancelled the order and they refunded my money. All of the items were listed in stock when I ordered them.

I believe they drop ship from RSR and don't have any product on hand.

Guys,
G&R Tactical has 509Ts for $429 but with a 15% discount if you use "Optics21" code, bringing the total down to $365, and you don't have to wonder if you're going to get it shipped from Sketchville, USA on time or not.

I had communicated with them about updating the order to the new green dot 509, and they just got back to me this morning saying that the green version wasn't in stock. Yesterday was the 30 day mark where I could get a refund instead of store credit, so I requested cancellation and refund.

Does the 509T sit up higher on the slide due to its mounting set up?

Depends on how it’s mounted. If you mount it on an RMR cut using the adapter, then yes, it will sit higher. If mounted on a Glock MOS with proper plate, then no, it won’t be any higher on the slide. If direct milled, it may even be lower. Look at JagerWerks and how deep they can cut the slide for the 509T.

DMCutter

I got a refund from Dack and ordered one from G&R, which arrived yesterday. I was just messing with it and my new MR920. I will have to turn down the cover plate screw heads to make them fit but otherwise the mounting plate fits tightly with the thickest spacer Shadow Systems provides. It does sit significantly higher than the RMR and 507c/508t, so the stock irons aren't going to work.

Just ordered a 509T from Schuyler Arms. This will be my first MRDS for a pistol...now all I need is to send my slide to be milled...buy a slide...or just get an MR920 :o

But the deal was too good to pass up. Thanks for the heads up guys!

It's funny I just noticed that they are in Tucson, AZ, I'm in Sedona AZ, so shipping ought to be quick :D ...if there is gas for the trucks!

EDIT: I also searched for "are they legit/gtg" before ordering and got good feedback from ARFCOM and SnipersHide, for what it's worth.

For the 509T, go with the Jagerwerks direct mill. It gets it way lower than any other option, and you don't even have to use super high sights.

That is so tempting....but, Since I'm a newbie to pistol RDS I am also looking at the AOS mounting system from Agency Arms just so I can have the option to change to whatever RDS I want..including rear sight pre and post optic. I'm suffering from I gotta have it now syndrome now too, so I'm even looking at complete slides/guns from Agency or even at an MR or DR920!

But yeah, that Jagerwerks direct mill for the 509T is amazing (edit: seemingly, I have no direct experience)....just not sure if I wanna to fully commit at this point!

I mounted my 509t on my new MR920 yesterday. I had to grind a fraction of an inch off the heads of the cover plate screws to get them below the Holosun mounting plate (0.08" according to Richie at Shadow Systems, but I didn't measure it, just went trial and error). Unfortunately it sits higher than an RMR or 507 so I'm going to have to replace the stock sights with suppressor height. Otherwise there was no drama involved with the mounting and the dot was dead on at 20 yards out of the box.

Good info thank you. I'm really looking hard at a Flat Dark Earth MR920 Elite so it is good to know that one can 'jimmy' it in there. If it came down to it I could mount my 509T on my Arisaka offset mount for my Recce rifle and get a 508T or even an RMR for the 920.

..I would love to have an Agency Arms AOS set up, at least at this point, but a stripped slide costs as much as the whole MR920! Daaaanng..

If you aren't going to direct mill, I'd probably suggest going with something other than the 509t to start with. You'll have a lot more options with something like the 508t since it uses a more standard footprint.

The 509t does work well as an offset though, I have two that I use for that role.

Copy! If I get the MR920 I'll do just what you describe, time to look for a 508t just to have that option.

Last week I paid $420 at a local brick and mortar. When I tried to turn it on in the parking lot it would only run on solar. A bit miffed I went inside and asked if they would put in a new battery. They did and it still wouldn’t adjust. Dude then handed me a different one that I checked and made sure all the different modes worked and out the door I went.

After all that I was glad I ended up paying the brick and mortar tax for such an quick and easy product exchange. I would have been a lot more frustrated having to ship it back and wait etc.

I've noticed the price of certain calibers is dropping too. 7.62x39 is down to 32 cents per round compared to the 40 from a month and a half ago

I saw that and I am super tempted to get one to put it on something but I have nothing I could put it on. It's kind of tempted to get for like a backup for a rifle or something though. I know as soon as I get one they will finally make my dream come true and out the 8 MOA ring into one.

Something with less distortion would be a pretty big improvement for me. I noticed a pretty big variance in the ones that I've used with the "best" units being only slightly worse than an RMR and the "worst" units actually being a little difficult to use because of it.

I replied in the other Holosun thread, but from what i heard they are updating the 509t with better more clear glass and a new circuit board that lets you have the dot, dot/circle or just the circle. Should be out in a month or two.

Unfortunately, this can be said for the entire Holosun lineup. There are huge variances between samples of the same model line.

Having said this, i've found the distortion to still be better, even on the worst samples than anything Trijicon has ever put out in the RMR lineup. In my opinion, Trijicon glass in their red dot optics is absolute garbage. The exception to that opinion being the SRO. The SRO to me is extremely clear edge to edge and the magnification is about as close to zero as you can get.

In speaking to somebody fairly close to the source, I believe this to be accurate. Definitely a lens redesign. Probably a fringe benefit for Holosun of getting to call it an X2 and making the nomenclature line up with the rest of the pistol optics. For most folks this will be a great opportunity to get a cheap 509T. Hopefully the green dot 509T gets here soon.
