Absolutely stunning list of benefits. - Co-witness and seemingly lowest mounting of a red dot yet - Claims to have solved the standing in lowlight -> looking into bright light issue with "auto adjusting" reticle brightness - Offers a single stack enclosed emitter - Rechargeable batteries! Holosun continuing to be one of the few manufacturers to keep pushing ahead even when they're near or at the front of the pack. Absolute gamechanger.

[@timunderbakke8756]

I’d honestly rather have a replaceable battery because my pistol only sees light when it’s being used. That means it’s going to spend most of its time in the dark and eventually the battery will drain. Maybe it takes a while, but that recharge days (the text article says from dead it’s something like 4 days) will be a pain.

@@timunderbakke8756 the battery will last 2.3 years in the dark. If you do not pick up your handgun in that time you should probably sell it 😉

[@TheDriversPerspective]

100% agree. I had been wanting an EOtech for years and then I held the Holosun AEMS next to it. Better optical quality, lighter and innovative...the AEMS ended up coming home.

[@TheBlahblahblahhh]

@@timunderbakke8756 stick an led light in your safe?

[@timunderbakke8756]

@ The issue isn't that it will always be there, but it's going from dark spot (safe or lockbox) to dark place (concealed carry) to the range for a bit, and then back again to one of two dark places. It will last longer than 2.3 years because of incidental sunlight, maybe, but how long until it dies and then stays out of commission?

It looks cool but it’s gonna increase price and now they have to make a different model for each style of handgun. If the version for your gun is out of stock there might be a dozen others that are available but will look weird on your gun.

Underrated feature about the SCS is that it actually has a button to turn it off. Thanks for actually listening to your customers, Holosun.

[@wesleyroberts7119]

My 507c has a button to turn it off. Hold + I believe. Is this not on other holosuns?

[@nmtay]

I guess I should've been more specific, sorry. Most other manufacturers that make micro red dots make them so that they're "always on" without the ability to turn them off, if you'd like. I, personally, think it is an added feature to have the option to turn it off, but there are also people out there that don't care. Which is fine, too. I guess the argument behind it is that it's better to have it always on, in case you need to use it, but not every firearm is a defensive firearm. Like, I have rifle that has a buttonless RMR atop an ACOG and I rarely pull it out or use it because it's in the back of the safe and I have others, and it basically just sits there and dies because I can't turn it off, and even more-so annoying because I have to dismount the RMR to replace the battery. One of the main things I like about Holosun is not only the options that their optics have, but the solutions they provide to things that consumers complain about.

[@hblegal8309]

Now if they would make it with the ACSS Vulcan Retieal that includes the 250 MOA outer circle you would have perfection! Hop is a no BS reviewer! I think I saw him smile? I am pretty sure we will never see him running around shooting in booty shorts like someone else we know. :)

I milled the slide of the Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special and fitted the HoloSun 507K X-2 to it, and just finished milling and fitting a 407 on my carry commander in 9mm. Next I will tri top the commanders slide and remove the front sight. I point shoot well, so no worry if the red dot goes down at the wrong time. The 507 co-witnesses well on the Les Baer with no modifications required. I simply milled the slide deep enough to get a spot on alignment. The o-ring on the 407 I just bought was damaged and I was required to jump thru hoops to get a replacement. PITA. I expected better customer service than what was rec'd. Guess that is the way things are now days. KnifeMaker

The old Holosuns were pretty gimmicky in my opinion because in daylight you couldn't see the dot when it was just powered by solar (the theory that if the battery died you could keep using it wasn't really true in most situations). That said, my HS510C has a great reticle and has been dropped on concrete a few times and not broken, so I do like Holosun. And this seems cool.

[@Murphy82nd]

When I used the auto setting on my 507C, which is supposed to use the solar panel as I don't believe the manual setting does use the solar panel, I found I could see the dot outside well enough IF there was bright sun. Indoors or not much light outside and it was like you said, practically useless. Either way, I don't really see the need for a battery backup when these sights can run 50,000 hr on a battery as is. I replace them every year just to be on the safe side. There's an argument I suppose for a battery dying early and needing the backup or the ever popular end of the world scenario, but for me it's a feature I never use. I'm more interested in the sight using the MOS connection points directly.
