If it doesn't have a battery, how does it power up once ambient light is not enough to drive the solar cell? What keeps it on when you have it in the dark, concealed under your clothes?
The only other solid state electrical energy storage device that I know of is a capacitor. And capacitors are burst discharge devices.
So.....
We're back to my original question. This thing either has a rechargeable battery to run when there's not enough solar cell output, in which case Holosun is lying. Or it has some self luminous source, in which case this is nothing new, since Trijicon already did it years ago.
Or?
Rather than fall for hype, I'd rather do some critical thinking and ask uncomfortable questions.
The MOS footprint integral base thing is somewhat creative, but it means fuck all to those who don't have Glocks.

I am not much of a pistol red dot guy, but I don't understand the excitement over that Holosun. With so many people already concealing RMRs why make an optic for a full size or compact gun that seems substantially smaller and less usable?

Above article shows the MOS sight in some detail.
No replaceable battery, just a solar panel. Holosun claims leaving it in the sun for a day charges it for 2,000 hours(!)
