Which one did you choose and why? Here is our fitment guide which is extremely helpful --> freedomgorilla.com/blogs/news/holosun-pistol-optic-fitment-guide

[@12monkey57]

Just bought my 3rd 507K! The bigger lens over the EPS did it for me

[@Skidz1818]

If you are looking to get an optic (especially for a pistol) I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. EXTREME customer service, SUPER knowledgeable and INSANE shipping costs and speed. I personally have talked to Paul both online and over the phone and he spent over 15 min with me and at no point did I ever feel rushed or "stupid" with all the questions and clarity I needed. These are a GO TO resource for your optic needs!

[@freedomgorilla1]

Thank you! We appreciate you!!

[@vicpal57]

I TOTALLY agree! Paul and the company is awesome!

[@freedomgorilla1]

Thank u! So r u!

[@stanthebamafan]

If anyone is thinking about the SCS series, don’t hesitate. The auto brightness adjust works really well In all lighting conditions. The internal battery charging feature is really well designed as well.

[@diceydie-c]

My favorite is the SCS 320. I love the closed emitter and also the cuts on the optic line up with my Echelon and looks like it was made for it. Oh and being green is nice. I also have the SCRS on my AR9 pistol and it's great. I've had it on my AR15 and I can hit at 100 all day w it

[@rushthezeppelin]

EPS Carry MRS FTW! Just got it recently and this thing is great especially paired with the Canik MC9. It fits directly on the slide with no plate.

[@fredkumm1305]

Best explanations and help yet. Thank you.

Are you going to make a rifle edition? This is a great video. Thank you

Bought the new glx rs15 from you guys, and immediately had an issue with it haha. Primary arms warrantied it and now it’s running fine. Will see how it holds up over the next 1000-2000 rounds

[@The3Bigcat9]

They also make a SCS for the H&K VP9 as well.

I have the 507c accs and 507 comp from you guys. I wasn't sure what red dot to pick up so I sent an email. You guys were very helpful plus you have great KZbin videos. Thank you

[@dananderson4487]

I own a Glock 22 Gen 1. What is the best way to go without cutting or replacing the slide. Would appreciate your feedback and my purchase options for mounting.

[@onpsxmember]

Great video. I'm trending towards an EPS, since I want it enclosed, adjustable and still not that heavy. That one as T version making it even lighter would be cool. an EPS is 39g, a carry is 28g. 509T is 49g which is amazing for the size and toughness. An Acro C-2 is 59g (P-2 is 2g more), an RCR is 56g, Steiner MPS 58g. The heaviest I've seen is the Swampfox Kraken with 67g. Now add a plate as well. One downside of the EPS is a CR1620 battery. It isn't about the battery life, but availability is way worse than a 2032 or a 1632 and there is less variety. Could you do a battery low temperature endurance test till they go down while mounted?

[@sjaakvaak5439]

Great informational video👍

[@freedomgorilla1]

@@sjaakvaak5439 thanks for watching!

[@1oddentity]

According to Steve, a freedom gorilla employee, the 509 ACSS vulcan WILL fit onto the 509T footprint, but I hangs off the front slightly. In other words, it will most likely not fit on a pistol slide, but it could be used for any application involving a picatinny to SCRS/509 mount

[@freedomgorilla1]

I just talked to Steve he said he never said that so maybe there is some confusion. The 509 ACSS Vulcan and the 509T are meant for pistols and will both fit on pistols. The 509 ACSS has a different foorprint than then 509t but they both come with their own individual adapter plates. We have seen someone mount a 509acss on a 509t picatinny mount but we don’t recommend it.

[@1oddentity]

@freedomgorilla1 you're right I just went back to the messages I sent to Steve and the question I asked was "will the 509 ACSS vulvan fit on a SCRS picatinny mount" that's when he told me that it does fit, it just hangs off the front a little bit, and I assume that's the reason you don't recommend it?

[@chris123457839]

Does the eps carry sit low enough to cowitness with the stock irons on the p365 xmacro

508t been my go too but think ima switch to 509t or eps

[@WolfNRaven]

Will the scs mp2 fit on the shield plus?

[@gunnutbikenut6939]

I just got my slide milled for a rmr cut that’s the way I will go from now on like it a lot better than the mos

[@mr.rem2609]

Any disadvantage of just getting the smaller dot over the larger one? I see green is more money, is green better?

[@terryvincent3788]

How about the SCS for the VP9 ?

[@Skidz1818]

Thats what I am running on MY VP9L. It is an OUTSTANDING optic and very easy to use.

[@jerrenortonjr.7405]

Great video

[@freedomgorilla1]

Thank you!

[@joshs2138]

Will the scs sights (pc10) be able to see over a suppressor?

[@JerryHarris-o6t]

Which optic is best for vp9

[@jasondavis5027]

I have the G2C can I use the 507k x2

[@shootsouthpaw7771]

Sent you guys an email a week ago. Every site and video covers the K footprint is a modified RMSc so the a K pattern optic will not fit on an RMSC. My question was will a RMSc fit on a K plate? Your website shows 2 slide examples. The K with 2 lugs and 2 raised screw posts and the RMSc with 4 lugs and 2 flush screw holes.

[@freedomgorilla1]

Yes an RMSc will fit on a k series footprint

[@stickman-1]

I have color blindness. I have the gold on my rifle and love it. But can't find the gold MRS Reticle for a pistol. Do you know why? Did I miss one?

[@freedomgorilla1]

It doesn’t exist currently for pistol red dots

[@jamesreid8582]

The best one is the one you find that works for you

[@freedomgorilla1]

Exactly

[@Goebel38]

We need an scs mos for the 48/43 the scs mos on my 45 is the best the eps carry is okay I want direct mount

[@zeusdagmire6185]

What is best pistol optic for 44 mag lever rifle?

[@token112]

Do you think they will make a primary arms acss version of the scs carry?

[@freedomgorilla1]

It’s hard to say. I do think PA should make an enclosed emitter ACSS. Maybe and eps carry or eps

[@brianv3ntura]

I have the scs mos and the co witness is very good, but the auto brightness is extremely bright hit or miss. Low light conditions, the dot is drowned out by my 600 lumens wml. Nomal house indoor lighting condition esp at night, the dot is wayy too bright.

[@freedomgorilla1]

Great feedback

[@fancyhitchpin8675]

On the 507 comp, when you say "not by any means a duty optic" do you mean it's not as sturdy, or just that it's bulky?

[@freedomgorilla1]

Great question. Hopefully i didn’t come off too strong there. I just meant that Holosun didn’t make it to be a duty optic, they made it for competition. It is still strong because it’s 7075 aluminum, but it is also quite large, so not the most concealable. Can it be used for EDC? Yea for sure people use it, i just wanted to make it clear that it wasn’t really designed for that.

[@xray5043]

Such a great video but im still confused😢

[@freedomgorilla1]

[@TARandFEATHERS]

Will any of the enclosed emitter optics work on pic rail like on a Rossi rifle??

[@freedomgorilla1]

Yep they totally will. We have pic rail adapters for any of them

[@TARandFEATHERS]

@@freedomgorilla1 Thx. I'm saving up for an enclosed emitter for my Rossi R92. I'll check out your website.

[@robertbuchanan562]

Holosun needs to make the 507 comp with 3, 6 or 8 moa only options. Don't need all those circle options. Please Holosun

[@freedomgorilla1]

The crs reticle kind of does that. The smaller outer rings blend together and make it look like a dot

[@AJohnSmith]

508T is great.

[@user-oc2zy8fv3w]

lol avoid this brand, purchased A 507, for A 34 Glock 5th gen mos, c & h plate. The elevation doesn’t go do enough, the dot chassis is too high to co-witness. Buy cheap, buy twice! Lesson learned

[@joemarchinski914]

Just a note on alluminum,. 7075 aluminum is " military grade " it is NOT T6.. 6061 ALUMINUM is " aerospace grade" and is T6.. please get your facts correct so you don't mislead people

[@freedomgorilla1]

It literally says on holosuns website they are made out of 7075 t6 aluminum. I’m not a metallurgist but i have no idea what you’re trying to say. AR lower receivers are also 7075 T6 aluminum.

I believe that you think that you are better than you are. When I was looking for a red dot for the S&W 5.7 I landed on your page and within you stated that you would provide the specific screws needed to mount the Holosun optic for free. I contacted you asking how to get the free set of screws needed for the S&W pistol. I never heard back from you. You don’t even have anyone answering your phones. BTW you don’t list them. You make every effort to shield yourself from your customers. You need to raise the level of your customer support. You pretend to be customer centric but you are not! Not trolling just telling you why I don’t do business with you. You sell at the same price as Amazon and provide the same level of pre-sales support as them which is nothing. The difference is that you are an unknown entity, whereas I been doing business with Amazon for years. You really don’t offer any significant advantage buying from you. I pray that you learn something from this comment as most customer just walk away and never tell you what’s wrong.

[@freedomgorilla1]

Appreciate your feedback, we answer tickets through email and if you listen to our voicemail you would hear us recommend contacting us that way and we’re very responsive. We do answer phones also but we can’t answer every single call at this stage in our lifecycle. 2000+ written and verified customers would completely disagree with you about our support. We answer every ticket that comes through. Anyone who has ever asked for free screws gets them. Amazon is a faceless organization, and optics you get from them may be new or may be returns. Amazon also won’t help you choose your optic, or know the nuances of screws or adapter plates like we do. We also don’t charge tax in many states so many people save money that way. I appreciate you writing the comment however your comment is not an accurate depiction of our company, i encourage you to read our reviews and also contact us via email or text, then you will see the service we offer. From your comment it sounds like you didn’t even listen to our voicemail and don’t grasp fully that we are a small growing company vs a trillion dollar marketplace like Amazon. I’d say the bigger takeaway here is that i do wish we could answer our phones, we are working towards that, and i also encourage you to buy from whoever you feel most comfortable with! Hopefully you found the information helpful that we provided - not Amazon. P.S. if you want free screws just email us on our website and we’ll happily send them to you if you ordered from us no matter when you placed your order. Also I’d be happy to look up a previous email you sent if you said we never responded. We have a policy to answer every single email that comes through no matter what

[@Quality_Guru]

@@freedomgorilla1 Just to put it in perspective, I can talk to “someone” when ordering a 20 dollar pizza from a mom & pop shop. You are correct in that I should be able to speak to someone when I call or at least have someone call me back should I be able to leave a message. While the rest of the world is working on multimedia connections, you are only utilizing email. You are not significantly growing your business if you limit yourself to a single customer interaction media. Enough said!
