New Micro RDS sight from Holosun. Looks to be more carbine oriented. Has dot, circle dot and circle only reticle options.

Subscribed for interest. It looks like a really useful and functional optic, if it is as described.
Generally speaking, how are the rifle-centric Holosun offerings holding up with time & use?
I could easily see grabbing myself a Vortex UH-1 based on futzing with one in a retail shop; and I like the EoTech EXP-2 and -3 examples I've examined (but don't intrinsically trust them, plus my P-F heroes tend to hate on 'em).
I am told that the Vortex unit is US made, too.
I've also messed with the Holosun HS510c, and rather liked the view and overall footprint, but am somewhat put off by the number of failed units I've heard about.

I don't see the UH-1 and EOTechs being comparable, due to size and differing technologies. The AEMS is an RDS, while the UH-1 and EOTechs are HWS; I'm not really sure what the draw of HWSes are these days outside of niche uses like passive use under NODs or specifically for pairing with a magnifier. The AEMS will have much better battery life, and can be left on like an Aimpoint, particularly with the ShakeAwake feature. That being said, I'm curious as to the mounting footprint; if it's proprietary, that would probably limit its draw.
Fair enough, and you are of course correct about them being differing tech*. I included them because the view area and targeting displays are becoming so similar between the two systems.
*I understand that the UH-1 has battery life more comparable to an RDS, but still nowhere near Aimpoint numbers.

Looks interesting, but that mount is a no go. I prefer absolute co-witness, not lower 1/3.

I will give one a try. I have a few guns that need rationally priced optics.
