Holosun 507 Comp vs. 507C Full Comparison: Choose The Right Red Dot

[@freedomgorilla1]

Hey Freedom Gorillas, we’ve covered the 507 comp and 507c on separate videos but we get asked about the differences a lot, so today we’re going to compare the similarities and differences of both these popular optics. Check to see if the 507 Comp or 507C will fit your slide with our fitment guides: freedomgorilla.com/blogs/news/holosun-pistol-optic-fitment-guide?yt 507 Comp Green: freedomgorilla.com/products/holosun-507-comp-gr-50k-hr-battery-life-c-r-s-8-20-32-moa-circle-2-moa-green-dot?yt 507 Comp Red: freedomgorilla.com/products/holosun-507-comp-rd-50k-hr-battery-life-c-r-s-8-20-32-moa-circle-2-moa-red-dot?yt 507C Green: freedomgorilla.com/products/holosun-507c-gr-x2-green-dot-32-moa-ring-2-moa-dot-solar-failsafe?yt 507C Red: freedomgorilla.com/products/holosun-507c-x2-red-dot-32-moa-ring-2-moa-dot-black-side-battery-solar-failsafe-mount-not-included?yt

Finally a good freaking video showing the important differences. I just wish the comp had the solar for backup

[@freedomgorilla1]

Thanks for watching! I asked Holosun about this and they said that competition shooters don't use auto mode, they want more control of the reticle so it wasn't included.

[@salpanahi]

@@freedomgorilla1 huh, I guess it makes sense, at least we know the reason now, thx!

you funny asf.. a slolar panel that the thing last over 50,000hours smh

I've heard others say that the solar is a gimmick

[@markanthonyart]

I just got the 507C in green as my first dot. I use it for range and home defense. The 507 Comp looks appealing because of the larger window. Seems like it would be better for my eyesight. I think i'll get the 507 Comp as my next one for range/home use.

[@alangwin3891]

Agreed. Looking for a red dot for my Springfield Prodigy. It is primarily a range and home defense tool. 👍 507 Comp looks like the ticket.

Nice i appendix carry a glock 17 gen 4 frame gen 3 slide frame chopped to 19 grip with the 507 comp and the p.id light. I have no problems ccw this setup. I ran the trijicon rm06 in the past the 507 comp is my favorite so far.

[@sedm35]

Covering all the bases and even replying to comments on old videos, I love this channel!!

[@MKemp-dr4xe]

I have bad astigmatism so have stayed away from red dots but I was shooting with a friend recently who had the 507comp on his staccato and I couldn’t believe how well I could see the dot and shoot accurately with it. It was the 2mo dot with 8moa circle I believe, and it worked great for me

[@mdbbox5660]

You can try reducing the brightness of the dot to cut down on the blooming/starburst if you have an astigmatism. Do you find green or red is better for you?

[@zakventer5117]

Which colour was better for the astigmatism? Or have you only had a chance shoot with one of them?

[@josephtucciarone6878]

Thank you for this. Many of us are interested in purchasing.

[@accord50]

i run the 507c on my EDC a Glock 19 Gen3. Works for me. I also use it when I shoot IDPA matches.

Totally torn on this and 508t, might go comp for quicker follow up range fun and hopefully one day some competition use

[@tomstevenson413]

Great video, I was wondering if the deck heights were exactly the same and the still picture you provided answered my question with certainty, thanks

[@freedomgorilla1]

Perfect that’s exactly what we strive for!

[@howlinhog]

I do carry with the comp. The dimensional differences are in fractions of an inch. It has zero effect for carry. Finding the reticle? Now that is important.

[@blakeproctor5199]

I carry the 507 comp in a Springfield Echelon

@blakeproctor5199 Any updates or complaints? Just picked up the echelon, looking to get the 507c or comp version but can’t decide

[@blakeproctor5199]

No complaints I love it! The glass it more clear than the 407-507c, it’s a bigger optic but I think it fits the gun great and I love the big window

[@grllaspeak]

I quess its just me but the 507 Comps base looks longer than 507C's could be an issue if you tried to attach to a subcompact milled slide. Great video

Yea it’s it’s the same length

[@anthonysantanas]

So what's the difference between these and the acss?

Perfect. Glad it was helpful!

[@thomaswaibel253]

With shake awake, does it stay on while walking? How do you know your battery level?

[@freedomgorilla1]

It would stay on while walking. There no way to see battery level per say but when the battery level is slow the dot will blink

Will the 507 com fit on a p320 without a plate, or does it need the plate?

[@freedomgorilla1]

@@jorgeuribe4512 it will fit but there will be a gap on the slide and you’ll need to find 6/40 screws, which is challenging. A filler plate fills in the space on the slide so the tension isn’t just on the screws and will provide the correct screws

Any coupon codes? Ill try a green Comp on a shadow 2 compact.

[@davesrandomchannel9444]

I just want to add, if you carry full size to begin with, the comp wouldn't be that big deal. I carry an Echelon with the comp daily and love every second of it. I do NOT conceal carry full size. If I conceal its usally a 365 or 43x

[@markbroad119]

I just got the sig Romeo zero for my GX4. Hope I like it. Still gotta get to the range

What's up fellow Gorillas--having a difficult time deciding between a green or red dot sight. I've seen pluses and minuses for both but just wanted to see what y'all recommend. I appreciate any help.

[@drilledarmory]

It's often a personal preference. Though if one has an astigmatism a red dot will appear more like a starburst. I use both … green stands out a little more for me.

[@alihaider-hn7sd]

I have canik mete sft which one is better??

If you daily carry, the 507C. If its just something you take to the range than I’d suggest the 507 comp

This is a great video. I was torn between purchasing the comp, I already have the C. The C is on my Sig P320 X Five Legion. I have a 507K on my P365 X Macro. But with your comparison, I think I'll upgrade to the comp and switch out the K with the C on my X Macro. Thank you. I also subscribed.

Any opinions on the 507 Comp on a Benelli m4? What adaptor would I need for the picatinny rail? Thanks

[@drilledarmory]

The 507 Comp is a great dot for shotgun with it’s large window. The Comp uses the Trijicon RMR/SRO footprint. You would need a RMR-to-Picatinny mount … Swampfox has one for $20. Others make them as well … prices vary.

Can you put the 507 Comp on a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite? I went to the fitment guide and the pistols not listed. Sorry, I’m pretty new to pistols but know I want some kind of red or green dot. I’m an old fart so me thinks bigger has got to be better.

[@drilledarmory]

Does that have a picatinny rail? If so, the 507 Comp uses the RMR footprint. You would need an RMR-to-Picatinny adapter. Swampfox has one for $20. Others make them as well.
