It's too heavy and doesn't fair well when tested against water. Holosun came up with their own enclosed design instead of copying and hit it out of the park in my opinion. The only thing they need to do is offer all of the EPS options on the 509, and if they adopted the Acro footprint that would be very interesting on what it does to the market on this type of optic.
