General Holosun pistol optic thread

[Caballoflaco]

I had that happen with my first slide mounted RMR, an RMR 07 (gen 1) on a Suarez slide.

On my first trip to the range with that exact combo.

As another current thread reminds us, iron sights also occasionally lose zero. A serious red dot shooter should own a Wheeler laser bore sighted, or equivalent. We use ours almost daily, between mounting and check optics. The Wheeler gets us within an inch or two at 25 yards, and quickly shows if a zero has gone awry.

GJM:

The Wheeler laser bore sighter . . . . Red or green beam? Any preference?

We have red now, but if I had to do it again, I would go green as it makes it quicker to differentiate dot and laser.

The Wheeler has paid for itself many times by saving ammo for initial zeroing and subsequent confirmation. Game and carry guns.

Is it a big improvement vs the cheap little cartrdge sized laser boresighters?

I was shooting some 3 yd Eleanore drill's yesterday,
1/2 way through the 2nd mag my hit's were low,
thinking it was just me screwing up on hold over, I
took some shots at a 25 yd plate and shot under,
I checked and all witness marks were on the money
so I moved up to 15 yd's and all were low.
I went back and shot paper at 7 yds to find poi was
4.5" low.
It just so happens, I'd received a call a couple hrs earlier,
a 507K I'd ordered with a lgs 10 days ago is in.
This one has 3500 +/- rds and is my second Holosun
Holosun in 6 or so months to take a dump, the first was
a 407C VII that lost zero in the first few hundred rds.
I know their customer service is very good and it'll be
promptly taken care of but, it doesn't instill a lot of
confidence for daily carry.

You jinxed me!

I had a 508T lose zero today, and fortunately it was dramatic enough it was immediately obvious. Friend and I were discussing earlier, that while red dots have gotten better each year, they still are electronic things, and break periodically. The BUIS immediately made the zero problem obvious.

Ugh. My 509t x2 P-07 slide shipped yesterday, and I should have it in hand soon. I sure hope it doesn't have this problem. I had 4 Romeo 1's lose zero after a few thousand rounds each on a Shadow2.

Great point about the importance of confirming function with laser boresights and BUIS.

LOL...
Updating the old saying, electronics, tit's or wheel's
sooner or later, you're gonna have a problem!

I mounted a new 507K on my XL in place of the 407 last night,
if I can get home for the last 20 minutes of daylight, I'll see how
close the laser got me to zero.
I emailed Holosun on the 407 this am, no word back yet.

We sure think it is. The Wheeler, Fix it Sticks and a battery tester are the must have things for our red dot use.
