Holosun 510c is a better value than most optics. For those obsessed with Made in the USA, you’re reading this on a Chinese made smartphone. Get over it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Holosun. They're killing it in price, weight, and features. The new ACSS Vulcan pistol reticle is gonna be a game changer and it's on a Holosun. They're doing big things.

65 MOA is perfect for 12 gauges since it roughly represents the size of the spread. So there’s your answer to why there’s an option for a 65 MOA circle with no dot

510c was my first red dot for my first AR. Works great!

I am a total gear snob as well. My whole philosophy was by once cry once and I loved my eotechs. That being said I think Holosun has some really quality stuff and the 510 rivals eotech in almost every category

I’m subscribed already bro calm down 😂😂

If you don't like the open emitter thing then Holosun makes the 512c which is basically the 510c completely encapsulated. Holosun solving criticisms like it's their job.... ;)

The 510C I’ve been rocking this optic for 3 years now on my honey badger, and it’s been absolutely rock solid!

The difference you see this one better is because the Eotech is a holographic and utilizes a laser. The Holosun uses an LED. The LED produces a much larger signature against the refracting surface and appears to be sharper. Because the laser is so fine it appears to be blurry because the human eye can’t focus on that small of an item. I don’t have a Holosun but will agree that my Trijicon MRO HD (LED) appears to be sharper than my Eotech EXPS3-4 (laser-holographic) but for more precise shooting, the Eotech is better under magnification as the 1 MOA dot remains at just that. In my MRO HD the 2 MOA dot gets magnified by whatever the magnifier is (in my case a 3x Trijicon magnifier makes it a 6 MOA dot.) Long explanation but each have their pros and cons. LED battery lasts longer and is “sharper” when looking at the dot but dot gets bigger under magnification. The holographic if a window gets cracked or broken you can still use it and it doesn’t provide forward infrared emissions when fighting against an enemy with night vision. I love them both! Edited for grammar

I love the flex talking about the holosun on that sweet mix virtus which is like the hardest Gun to get hands on in the current market

I bought a Holosun 403R a little over 2 years ago and have been using it as a beater optic to see if I could make it fail. Kept it on a truck gun for most of its life and honestly, have been stupid impressed by it. On setting 10 it got over 2 years of battery life and has survived falls, drops, etc. My only complaint is that the factory mounts are trash, so I stuck it on a Scalarworks T2 mount and it’s never lost zero through all the abuse. Definitely turned me into a believer of theirs.

The circle-only reticle is good for tactical shoty, nice and quick, the circle also gives a good reference of pattern.

I have a holosun 510c elite on my lwrc smg45, it works really well. Nice and lightweight, and bright. And the shake awke is cool option. I also like the different reticle options.

You are hilarious man. I loved what you said about people that just use the circle 😆 because I thought to myself the same thing.

First video of yours I’ve seen and the amount of sass I’m getting 7 minutes in has made me feel the need to subscribe. You earned this one.

Holosun stated in an interview about their newest dots that the green versions actually used less power than red, but green cost around $30 more.

I love the Type A rifles, glad to see you running it in your videos.

I don’t have any experience with 510C, but the 508T is the best in class. I love it!

I have owned Eotech, Aimpoint, Holosun, vortex, Leopoldo. The Holosun’s are hard to beat. My 510c and 515GM are my favorites of all of the optics I have tried over the years. My astigmatism limits my use of red dots but for whatever reason these are astigmatism friendly.

I've really come to enjoy and appreciate your channel... Came for the 1911's and stayed for the chuckles, other blasters and gear.

Subscribed….. only cause you asked nicely.

i held off buying one for a long time because im generally an eotech or trijicon guy. im happy i went for it as they are a really great product, and they price makes them exceptional. the built in qd mount retains zero perfectly from my experience, the crisp reticle makes eotech look like the cheaper optic. These go on all my guns now and i have sold quite a few of my really expensive optics that were just sitting on the shelf because they were replaced by these. i forgot to mention the main reason i even wanted one of these to begin with, its the perfect size for an AR or sub gun. the eotechs are just too big and goofy looking.

Love your reviews! Thanks for putting this one out.

Love the outdoor views

The beginning was funny when you was telling people to subscribe 🤣🤣🤣

brother, this content is great! Sometimes I need tech specs, sometimes I need real talk. Great job man.

Mine arrives tomorrow. Can’t wait. Great review.

“It’s not a rough conditions battle optic” - Man, I would say the same thing (open emitter), which is why it’s been a surprise to see pics showing *tons* of 510Cs running around on rifles in the Russo-Ukraine war.

Great review!

My thoughts exactly! Great sight for the price point. Crazy I went to my LGS and picked up my qd mount for my dead air Nomad and left with this damned sight as well...

I have these on two of my inside boys. No issues. Nice to see the dingo.

I really like this guys style! Bravo!

Just ordered the HE510c after this. Thanks for the great video man

They have a plate that mounts in between the QD mount and 510c that makes it a 1/3rd co witness. Better option instead of having a riser thats attached to the rail on its own.

I love this Optic, I've ran torture test after torture test on the 510. No problems other than dings and scratches.

My first reaction to this video was “I’m already subscribed” don’t find me 😂😂 good video 👍🏼👍🏼

The EOTech looks fuzzy because it’s holographic. Despite the name, Holosun is not. FWIW the shake awake activates with the slightest of nudges. Really any touch will do it. Great optic.

That intro is spot on, when your video first played I thought it was at least 1440. So I went to see if 4K was available only to be shocked that this is 1080P!

I have one in green that I use for my offset site and my wife absolutely loves it

I picked up one also. I am snobby also and I love this thing. I krylon mine all black.

I usually ignored these videos because it was a jinj and had 1911 in the title, but I was fairly amused. Good work on a video with a fair assessment.

Just put the 510c on my B&T apc9k pro. Fits it well and co-witnesses perfect with iron sights.

This came up in holiday season lol also everyones dream to buy a land … spot on!

Dude thanks 👍🏻 also those sunglasses fire lol

Hopes and dreams shot down inside of 3 min. Nice work.

I think people are overthinking the whole open emitter thing. Yes, it could be a problem but it's actually just one finger swipe away from being cleared up just like getting mud on the lens of any other optic. The biggest concern I had was getting stuff on the "inside" of the glass, under the hood. Even that isn't a big deal though, it's just harder too deal with than simply wiping it with a finger.

That is one of your better videos. Great job. Audio easy to pick up. Your banter delivery was crisp.

Just picked this sight up for my first rifle, took it out to the range and I am impressed with how good it is for the price highly recommend it for the semi budget kind of people who don't want to go out and spend something like $700 for an EOTECH.

Budget red dot optic: $350 Gucci piston rifle: $5k Simultaneously appealing to a man’s sensibility, while slapping him with an epic flex: Pricele$$

Nailed it! It's Tuesday!! *double checks* Yep!

Great content, i love this channel

I have the same optic including the mid range sight and I love it ,no problems very reliable

Love this channel

My favorite optic of all time. Best money value and quality

I love it great price great performance

Holosun has an LED emitter like an RMR or an Aimpoint or MRO...the 510C essentially being like a large RMR. Eotechs are laser-projected holographic through a series of mirrors, so the reticle is more pixelated and for some blurrier. Also why the battery life on Holosun is much longer than the Eotech's. Holosun also makes a riser/spacer for the 510C which will bring it up to lower-1/3rd height. It installs between the main unit and its quick-detach base. I had a 510C and liked it, but for my go-to SHTF/bugout rifle I wanted an enclosed unit just in case of debris or water, and a little less bulk so I changed for a Holosun HS515GM. I considered the enclosed version of the 510c, the 512C which has that 'mailbox' look like the Vortex UH-1 (which is holographic like the Eotechs). But the 512C's main unit and base are one solid thing with no way to insert a spacer, and it's absolute cowitness height only.

The Eotech delamination issue is real and they will not fix it under warranty down the road. The open emitter of the 510c gave me a little pause but realistically for general use, it's not an issue. The field of view, shake-awake and battery life is what sold me on it.

the shake awake is amazing. Keep it on my bedside ar

3 gunners beat the shit out of these with no issues. Love mine as well.

I have one on my custom AR9, built on a Spikes Tactical ST-9X lower. I have it sitting on a Unity Fast Mount. Honestly, this is the first time playing with a "close to" 1.93 height optic and it's AMAZING! This is a must have on shorter CQB type setups that have sub-10.5 inch barrels. Fast target acquisition makes it good for tight urban spaces, and the mount and optic combination has that aesthetic that really works with the backward angle of glock mags. Makes the gun look like its surging forward. This is what I wanted, because most other Glock-mag fed AR9s look weird with 97% of all other optics. Really nice optic for urban concrete jungles, but the open emitter makes it a no-go in natural/rural, open environments. Overall, a really good option for the city dwellers looking for a home defense or truck gun option. Great vid as always my dude!!!😁👍

Like it brother.

We would all appreciate a greater emphasis on that well-trained dog! And maybe, just maybe, a t-shirt with him on it!

I have a 510c I like it besides the open emitter. And I didn't know i could use it on other mounts so now to search or find a unity riser since I definitely want a higher head position.

Well I'll be damned, 4 and a half months later and I am watching this on a Tuesday. Well played Jake, well played.

Made me subscribe just minutes in! Too funny

Not sure about that model, but Holosun states their 407C/507C green models have better battery life than the red models. I had previously assumed the opposite like most people.

I ran this for a while before getting a tube style red dot instead with BDC

I've had a 510c on my cz scorpion evo3 for while now, and I love it. It's become quite popular in IPSC PPC division here in Europe, because it makes you fast, and the reticle is very sharp, even for many folks with astigmatism(including me)🙂. But I don't see it as "battlefield red dot"..then I would get one with enclosed emitter, and something that doesn't reveal your position in the dark, 100%.

I just got one of these a month ago and I love it. I would have preferred to get the 512... but I can’t find one anywhere.

Solid and reliable optic...full stop.

Holosun makes Sig red dots BTW✌️🏾

I am watching this on a Tuesday 😄 🤣 definitely have to like and subscribe now

I think the 512C closed reflex beats the eotech , it’s just out of stock everywhere like TP in the beginning of COVID-19

That’s a very good boy back there.

I’ve seen a few of these mounted on AKs in combat in Ukrainian war footage. Can’t say much more than that, but they seem to be out in the wild and seeing combat.

I was two seconds away from hitting the subscribe button, then you said the 'F' word and my mom said "No!". On a side note, 04:47 is a damn fine looking firearm.

Your dog was scouting while you were screwing around. I like what you said so I'm subscribed.

Great optic, one catch on that ,”solar panel” is that it powers a capacitor and apparently if that craps out then the optic runs into issues. Look up capacitor issues on the 510.

As of now. Tuesday Jan 9th 2024 I am subscribing because you guessed it was a Tuesday and commented that I enjoy my drink. As for HoloSun I work in the firearms industry and don't understand the bad rap they get. Look around you almost everything around is made over seas. Quality is quality and HoloSun makes quality. As fsr as I am concerned quality is more important than where it's made.

Some of the best reviews hands down!!! Grade 4 bush league..lmao

I'm actually thinking about getting one of these lol

You can actually get better battery life with a green dot if you understand how it works. If you look at two dots of light at the same power level, the green dot will appear to be 30 times as bright as the red light. This means that lower power levels can be used for green, saving battery power.

Videos very good this month

I run the Holosun 510C green on both my Daniel Defense M4V7 Ar15s and really like them.

Don't worry - even when you get set up as an industry partner, they never have anything in stock for you and won't put you on a wait list. You just have to keep calling, kind of like being #10 on the radio station

Good stuff

Lol ruined my dream right away 😩🤣🤣🤣🤣 “if ya looking for land to shoot on might as well shut that one down” lmaooo

I am also a gear snob. Most of my rifles rock Aimpoint, Nightforce, Eotech, etc. But for my dedicated home defense supressed SBR, the 510C just works too well to pass up. I have astigmatism and so prism red dots just work better for me. It's held up well through multiple carbine courses and has my full confidence. It does feel a bit weird sitting on a suppressed Teir 1 SBR (DD Mk18), but I can't argue with the performance. I threw a riser on it and run it 1/3 cowitness with some fixed DD irons. The open emitter really isn't a big problem. Reflex optics have been this way for a long time, even ones fielded in the military. Even in heavy rain the image will still be clear. The only thing that might occlude the image is if dirt gets packed in there or you legit are under water. This optic can still take a crazy beating and work in adverse conditions. I actually ran this for a few days without a battery without knowing, since the solar panel generated enough power for a sufficient image. The shit just works! It's the number 1 $300 price point optic I recommend.

I have zero reason to not like holosun 🔥

I like it dude ur awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask you have to do is "tap" "touch" "move" and it turns on BUT NOT IF YOU MANUALLY TURN IT OFF. you have to give it 10min after you turn it off to let it shut it stuff down after it turns is self off, you activate the dishes awake function

Nice Review I want this sight on my Ar pistol.

I just bought mine on Saturday lol

Eotech is a holographic sight, not a red dot, that’s why the Holosun is more clear. I love my 512c - it’s the closed emitter version of the 510. Not sure if they make them anymore, but they’re out there for what it’s worth. Bring on that MCX review 🙃

OK man. I subscribed. Stop yelling at me! haha. great channel and video!

My 510c lasted 5 months. One day just didn’t turn on. Never submerged it, dropped it or torcher tested it in anyway. Battery was fine and facing the right side up, of course. Holosun was more than awesome in letting me exchange it for another one. That one lasted 11 months. Exact same thing. Just stopped working. I have two other older Holosun red dots and they are fantastic. I think I’ll just upgrade from the 510c. 🤷🏻 Too bad, I really Iiked this optic.

The reason you like the sig features too is because holosun makes sig optics.

As far as the shake required to turn the Holosun optics on; I've looked at my gun hard enough to get it to turn on.

I swear I subscribed bro✋

I had a few red dots and when I got this I was surprised it was so much better. Accurate for sure.
