This year, I've bought seven Holosuns with 6MOA dot and one with ACSS reticle, so I'm doing my best to support the 6MOA club. I think part of it is the "top-of-the-line" model with the solar panels and MRS has a 2MOA dot. For some reason, the majority of consumers seem to think the solar and switchable reticles are necessary. I'll happily continue to buy the less-expensive 6MOA versions.Originally Posted by G19Fan
I like having mrs and solar (only because I have had twice now that battery trays launched off a the range and I used solar no battery to finish session).
I carey circle so I like mrs. I wish there was a 6mo and circle (no dot) option
Part of my routine with new Holosuns is install a new Duracell battery, blue Loctite and paint-mark the battery tray screw. They've mostly come with finger-tight battery tray screws, well under the 5 in-lb stated in the manual. I only have a couple thousand rounds on one and a few hundred through each of the rest. I did notice that an EPS Carry with 5000+ serial number came with a significantly tighter battery tray screw and almost excessive thread-locker. Holosun may be getting tired of warranty calls for replacement battery screws.
I def loctite but should witness marl the screw tray screw. Smart ideaPart of my routine with new Holosuns is install a new Duracell battery, blue Loctite and paint-mark the battery tray screw.

Ditto. Been shooting irons for over a year, so to get back to dots I put an EPSc MRS on my P365 X-Macro, and set it to circle only. It would have been nice to have a 6 MOA dot option, I really liked the sight picture on the 407k I had.
After having and shooting both dots I prefer the 6 moa version for now.
Difficult to photograph but a pretty good representation to the difference in size.
I was finding that I was using the EPS Carry optic to rack the slide of my P365 XMacro frankengun more and more. Being the coating is pretty slippery, I thought I'd just cut some hockey tape and stick it on for a bit more grip...
Well. Being a retired engineer with time on my hands, one thing led to another...you know how it goes.
I ended up creating a template, then used it to cut a cover to fit:
(It's not nearly as sketchy looking in person, for some reason the photo came out poorly and highlights all the defects.)
Later on (of course!) I found that Ranger Wraps make basically the same thing for around $20, but in case this helps out anyone else who just wants to DIY one, I attached the pattern and pdf below. I may still end up buying one, but this one seemed to work pretty well in Dry Practice today.
Oh yeah, the grid is 0.1". I tried to make the pattern so you'd only have to make straight cuts. You can still depress the buttons through the fabric. I put a length of tape onto a cardboard box top that had shiny tape still on it and a sharp knife to cut it out. I was too skeered to adhere it to the optic body and cut out the square for the solar panel. All you really need to do this is a length of 1" hockey tape or similar; I had some black laying around so that's what I used.

Will the Forward Control OPF-G-RMR work with the 407K?
No the RMR footprint us different. A 407C or 507C uses an RMR footprint, the 407K/507K/EPS use a modified Shield RMSC footprint.
