Hey, thanks for this video! Was a big help! Very illustrative. Carry is something new here in NJ. So my needs in a red dot have changed. Size/fit moves up the requirements matrix- smaller being better - to a point. Seeing a 407/507 mounted is a huge help!! Having a sight overhang the sides of a purposefully slim pistol like a G48 seems counterproductive. So your side-by-side cleared that all up Plus Holosun naming gets confusing. So. Big thanks ! Btw. Love the range! To have that much space!! If only….

Very good comparison, after seeing the recitals and the dots, I think I need the circle, I struggle regaining the dot sometimes after recoil, I’m looking for accuracy and not so worried about speed right now though, I’m going to sleep on it and make a choice in the morning. I’m pretty sure the green chevron with the circle is my winner, the shake awake is what originally got my attention. Much better than having to push a button and hoping the last brightness setting is going to work for the current lighting , I will have to rewatch to see if the chevron came in a closed emitter version. That’s going to be the most trouble free choice long term I’m thinking. Thank you for this content!

I'm sure know this by now, but just in case, you can get the Holosun 509 with the ACSS Vulcan reticle. It is an enclosed emitter optic with the chevron and circle. Hope that helps!

Quality review! However, I think the title is a bit misleading. Regular 507c is a 2 moa dot w/ a 32 moa ring around it. 507c ACSS is the primary arms variation with the chevron and the massive ring to help you find the dot.

I've owned and shot just about every brand MRD on the market, and I've come to the conclusion that the Holosun 407Cx2 is pretty much the best all around red dot on the market. Reliability, price, battery life, battery placement, brightness, and durability... It checks all the boxs. Are there "better" options? I'm sure, because better is completely subjective, but when everything is put on paper, the Holosun is just about impossible to beat. That said... I personally prefer the plane ol' 2moa dot (talking to you Holosun 407k!!) It's all preference, but I've always shot the smaller dots, so the 6moa (and up) just seems huge.

I only recently discovered the ACSS Vulcan system with a 250MOA circle. I find that most helpful for someone who is new to red dots and needs some "training wheels" so to speak with learning to quickly acquire the center reticle. The chevron is very cool, but I prefer a dot. On a defensive CCW I think a 6MOA is perfect, while the 2MOA is better for accuracy. The 2MOA dot / 32MOA circle on the MRS system is really great, but costs the most.
@ADudeAndSomeGuns5 ай бұрын
I would much rather a dot instead of the chevron for a pistol. I keep telling them that. I think we’ll see that soon. The acss Vulcan dot is already in a few of their dots. But not the 507 dot. Still waiting.

@@ADudeAndSomeGuns Sometimes there are too many options to consider. A 2MOA dot is for accuracy, a 250MOA circle is for learning.

I'm no expert, but you questioned whether the point of impact on the chevron is the top (point), center, or bottom. The whole point of the chevron is to provide a finite point for exact accuracy; so it's the point at the top. That said, I'm sure some guns simply do not impact on the point depending on loads, etc, , but you should adjust the sight until it does. Right?
@ADudeAndSomeGuns Жыл бұрын
I didn't question where ther impact should be, but when presenting the chevron on target, you have to remember thr tip is the POI. The Chevron takes up alot of the target. I'd prefer a dot honestly....

I have that same gun. I went 507C Green with the multi reticle option. He didn't cover that here, which is a shame, as it has some nice features. Just sent my slide, 507C and suppressor sights off to JagerWerks for a milling, nitride finish and sight install. Black Friday sale was $105 and my shipping was $25. So 140 for a direct milling mount specifically for the 507C. Ameriglo sights were 60 on amazon, and the 507C was black friday deal at 295. Merry XMas to me, can't wait to get it back! I also have a 9mm conversion barrel for this gun, so i get the best of both worlds. And i got it as a police trade in, which made it cheap enough to have the finger bumps removed. My only "modded" pistol, so a slide milling seemed in order...

They said it would take 2-3 weeks for everything. When my slide gets back, I plan on mounting a Holosun 508T on it.

That's the only thing I have ever given holosun a ding for. ...but to be fair to Holosun, I've never owned an auto adjust red dot that was great.

Full sunlight will dim it passed being visible, and a TLR1 HL light will completely wash out the triangle. It really only works well if you go into a completely dark closet, with no other light source. Then it glows like new money... But at that point, you can't see what's in front of the gun to aim at!

And it’s also made without a cheap label plastered in big white letters across each side. That label alone should steer you away from Holosun.
