The suffix on an EOTECH sight tells you something important: what you will see in its window. An EXPS3-0 and EXPS3-1 share a family name, but one has the familiar ring-and-dot pattern and the other has a dot without the ring. A model with more dots is not automatically a better version. Start with the…
The EOTECH G33, G43 and G45 look like three versions of the same purchase, but there are two separate decisions here. First, do you want 3x or 5x magnification? Second, how much do body length, weight and eye relief matter to you? Those questions lead to a more useful answer than simply buying the newest…
The EOTECH EFLX is an appealing option if you like a generous, square viewing window and want a compact reflex sight rather than a full-size holographic optic. Before choosing one, however, separate the original EFLX from the enclosed EFLX CE. They share a name, but the differences go well beyond a protective cover. The original…
The EOTECH Vudu lineup covers several very different purchases. A 1-6 LPVO, a super-short 3-9 and a 5-25 scope may wear the same name, but their size, viewing experience and reticle options are not interchangeable. Choose the scope family before choosing the reticle. Start with the lowest magnification you want, the physical size you are…
The Holosun 507COMP and Holosun 407COMP are both large-window competition pistol optics built for fast target transitions, wide sight picture, and high-tempo shooting. They share the same RMR footprint, large 1.1″ × 0.87″ window, side-loading battery tray, and competition-focused housing size. The main difference is the reticle. The Holosun 507COMP gives you a selectable PRS…
The Holosun SCS lineup is built around direct-fit pistol optics. Instead of starting with a universal optic and then figuring out plates, the SCS series is designed around specific handgun mounting systems and optic cuts. If you are shopping for a Holosun SCS MOS, SCS Carry, SCS 320, SCS PDP, SCS MP2, SCS VP9, or…
The Holosun 509T and Holosun EPS are both enclosed emitter pistol optics, but they are built around different footprints, housings, and mounting setups. The 509T is the titanium, 509T-footprint option. The EPS is the lower-profile K-footprint enclosed optic, with EPS Core models using an RMSc-style footprint. If you are choosing between the Holosun 509T vs…
Holosun thermal optics can be confusing at first because the DRS-TH, DRS-NV, and DPS-TH all blend red dot-style aiming with digital imaging technology. They are not the same optic, though. The DRS-TH is a rifle-style thermal red dot, the DRS-NV is a digital night vision red dot, and the DPS-TH is a thermal pistol red…
If you are shopping for a Holosun rifle red dot for an AR-15, three of the best places to start are the Holosun AEMS, Holosun 510C, and Holosun ARO. All three are built for rifle, carbine, and PCC setups, but they are not aimed at the exact same buyer. The AEMS is the compact enclosed-style…
The Holosun 510C is one of the most popular open reflex rifle sights for ARs, PCCs, carbines, shotguns, and range rifles. It gives shooters a large viewing window, fast reticle pickup, Solar Failsafe, Shake Awake, and Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System with a 2 MOA dot, 65 MOA circle, or circle-dot combination. If you are shopping for…
