Get Shredded!
Just curious who uses them and what dot do you use?

I personally use the Holosun 507Cx2 and Trijicon RMRCC.

I have three Holosun's. Two 507C's and a 407C. The 407 is only a dot, so not much choices there. I like the circle in the 507's. I have a cheap one on my AR. It actually came with a cheap scope package. It's a red and green dot and circle. It actually works very well for costing next to nothing. Eventually I want a Holosun on the AR.

You can see the red dot on top of the scope. It usually just sits right on the rail with no scope.

Thanks brother. That's the new SFX Rival. It shoots really nice nice like the Walther. The M&P 40 is a little beast of it's own. The Apex trigger made a huge difference in that gun, and now it ranks up there with one of my favorites.

I got my first red dot when I bought my Staccato P it has a RMR type 2 and have gotten 2 more. I have a holosun 407k on my 43X and a 507 C on my shadow system 920. Only issue that I don’t like with the RMR is having to remove it to replace the batteries.

I have a Holosun 407C on my Staccato C2 DPO. I swear, every time I take it to the range, it feels like I'm cheating.

The Staccato is an amazing tool. After shooting my staccato and switching to another pistol I’m humbled very quickly that I’m not as good as I think lol

Yeah....that sucks and is really a pain to switch the battery and re-zero. Shadow Systems is a well run company...I like the management team alot.....great handguns.

509t and 507k by holosun are my go to reddots of choice. Rmr type 2 1moa is decent. Also like my delta point pro because of window size.

I'm glad to see people are happy with Holosun products. My son wants a magnifier for a red dot optic on his rifle and has looked
at that brand but was unsure of the quality.

Lots of good stuff out there. Holosun makes fine products...so does Trijicon and many others.

I do not have one. Used them in the military, and loved them but stuck with iron sights and scopes since being out. Never wanted to spend the money on them for a pistol till using one recently. Next gun with have one.

My Son swears by them for being able to keep your eyes on the target while firing, especially if it is moving.

That is on a rifle, but I could see where it would benefit a handgun.

Just picked up the vortex and want something else . Works and shoots just fine for range use but for carry I really want something else . It has no shake awake so you need to manually turn it on or leave it powered up killing the battery that is located on the bottom so you will need to remove it . Looking at the holosun one with solar strip or the rmr but they are pretty pricey .

507cx2 is a good option.....shake awake is an absolute must

Made a big difference for these old eyes on both handgun and rifle. Funny how the accuracy improves when you can see things.

How sensitive is the shake awake feature? Is there a specific motion or intensity of motion that turns it on? I was curious if the sight would turn
on with everyday activities.
