General Holosun pistol optic thread

[Utm]

This question is for Holosun, specifically the 507c on a Glock 34 in my case: Are there any pre-existing "Zeroing" targets suitable for a pistol mounted red dot sight? I did a quick web search and came up with several options for rifle, and one, from Holosun Canada, for HS403s, which I believe is also for rifles or carbines. The one from HS has a grid and a couple circles. (Bear with me; I'm pretty new to guns, and brand new to dots as of like Sunday.)

So my 507c has a 2MOA dot and a 32 MOA circle. I shoot fairly often at 10 yards and 25 yards. So I was pondering making a target that had a couple circles, maybe a grid, to help me at my next range session? If there's no obvious "go here and print this file" available that does that, I am probably going to whip up a *.pdf using Libreoffice draw for myself.

Can someone check my math, though? I'm using basic trig to work out the numbers.

A MOA is a "Minute of Arc" is 1/60 of a degree, correct? To generate how big circles are, at various MOA and distances, I'm using:

C = R X tangent ( MOA )

Where

C = circle size
R = range
MOA = minutes of arc, expressed as degrees/radians

(all this with correct units of course)

Using that in a spreadsheet (cause I'm lazy) I get numbers like this:

At 10 yards:

2 MOA = 0.209"
32 MOA = 3.351"

At 25 yards:

2 MOA = 0.524"
32 MOA = 8.378"

If someone can verify the math, that'd be great if something like this ends up being useful.

Thanks, the Slytac target for pistol RDS sights has 1" squares and a center aiming dot:

I could not find the Kinetic Consulting target not behind a log-in wall. Scratch that, I did see a result with a pdf file with a 1" poa and a 1/4" grid:

https://inntakt.de/wp-content/upload...hird-mount.pdf

Neither of those has a grid sized in MOA increments, and don't have aiming points corresponding to the dots. I think a combination of the use of a laser boresighter (as @GJM has suggested) to get close, then a simple aiming point at the range to dial in the sight probably should work for my purposes. I will most likely go ahead and design a target specific to the HS 507c since 1) it's what I have and 2) I like designing targets.

I appreciate I may be overthinking this, but I find this kind of stuff interesting.

Great ideas, thanks. I went ahead and made up a couple for my use, and posted them in the printable targets thread. My obliged.

I have a BUIS question.

I’m going to install my HS 507c x2 on my G34 MOS with a V4 CHPWS plate soon. I currently have normal Glock sights. To guide me in selecting a set of higher sight heights to use with the optic, what is the correct sight picture to use, or does it matter?

Here’s a screen shot from a Lenny Magill video on the Holosun on a Glock for reference.

Understanding this is a 2D image, is this what I’m trying to achieve with correct BUIS?

I just want steel black back ups, so should I just order the Ameriglo GL-429 set and call it a day?

Attachment 66953

GL429s will be usable nubs similar to what GJM says you want. The Dawson MOS RMR cowitness sights will give you a lower 1/3ish sight picture.

I got a 508T in. Really dig it, seems like a professional version of a 507. (508 is in the middle)

[Up1911Fan]

Those 508T's look good. I think my next MRDS will be a 509. I've put off the ACRO due to the battery life.

FWIW I use the Kinetic Consulting target to zero all my pistol optics. That 10 yard zero hasn't required more than a click or two at 25 yet.

What are the effective differences between the 508t and 507? I have a 507C and a 507t green dot, which is probably my all time favorite. But I'm always open to the latest and greatest. What makes it the professional model?

Probably the biggest difference is it's titanium construction that reportedly makes it more durable. You can also notice in GJM's picture the windows are a little different in shape. My honest favorite feature of the 508t is that all of the Holosun logos are more subdued. Holosun proudly and loudly advertises their logos on the 507, etc. Reticles, color, etc. is all the same as the 507 as far as I'm aware. I have personally shot and played with the 508 and although I like it the differences didn't out weight the cost of replacing my three 507's.

I used the 508t on my 92 for a few months and went back to the 507. The flat top, and thus smaller window, made the dot reflect off the top in some lighting/dot brightness scenarios and bugged me. Didn’t feel I really needed the titanium body and $130ish higher price tag. I did like the blacked out logo. Nothing a sharpie didn’t fix on my 507 though. I also feel like the rounded top prints less with certain shirts as it’s rounded rather than pointy like the 508 or RMR.
