General Holosun pistol optic thread

[dontshakepandas]

If you guys don’t know/follow @AsianJedi (Modern Samurai Project) I’d suggest doing so. He sees A LOT of optics in his classes since that’s really all he does - teach RDS classes. The last time I talked to him (last summer at RDS Instructor class) he really only recommended 2 brands as duty optics - RMR and Holosun. The DPP and ACRO he sees each have their own issues.

Do you know what type of issues he’s seen with the ACRO? I was considering having a slide milled for one soon, but there really isn’t much info available about them other than the well documented battery problems.

That’s what the issue was. Crappy battery life. Which really isn’t an issue if your .gov and aren’t buying batteries.

What do you mean by "better glass"? I have both ( and have had just about everything) and don't understand that comment. If you mean clearer I will grant you that, but the Trijicon are not clear on purpose.

Less tint and less fish-eye distortion edge to edge. Like I said I don't think it really matters that much for a pistol mounted red dot as with target focus I don't notice it much at all, but it is a pretty obvious difference. Some people seem to be more annoyed by the tint/distortion on the RMR than others, I am not personally bothered by it

For what it's worth I've been playing with the battery settings on my ACRO P1s. When left on setting 8 I got 6 weeks of life before I noticed the battery was visibly low. Aaron Cowan said that on the same setting he only got 2 weeks of life out of them, not really sure how to explain that. I have another that I have left on setting 7 that is going on its 3rd month with no issues.

Given side loading battery that you can swap out in about 30 seconds, I don't really see this as that much of a limitation.

Thanks. If I do it I’ll be going with the P-2 so hopefully battery life won’t be an issue anymore.

He’s running a 509/Walther PDP right now (he is part of the Defense Division).

I’m really hoping our new duty pistols come in soon. My 509 belongs on a pistol, not sitting in a desk drawer.

I’m hoping that Vortex gets their MRDS squared away soon. I’ve heard they’re working on it.

I just mounted up a Holosun micro w green circle dot on one of our new 40mm LL launchers. Can’t wait to get that out and get it zeroed.

Do you know where they sell those LMT 40mm launchers for for personal purchase? I have wanted one since I started carrying one professionally.

Don’t think I’ve ever see a 40mm for sale for personal purchase. I’ve seen various 37mm “flare” launchers, but that’s it.

Just mounted this 508T. Milling by Jagerwerks. Really happy with them but would probably go with Maple Leaf for any future doublestack glocks.... though not sure if I have a lot of those left without optics cuts either finished or in the works sooner than later.

I need to pick up a HS 407c x2 for a USPSA gun. Is there a go to site for purchase these days? Any rumint on new offerings on the horizon from HS?

I bought my last one, a 507k from Brownell’s. Before that I bought a 507c at my LGS, who matched the Amazon price I quoted them.

We have the 507c X2, 507k X2 and 508T in stock right now
