This comprehensive review by retired SGM Karl Erickson compares top combat pistol optics: Trijicon RMR, Aimpoint ACRO, Holosun 507/509, Vortex Defender CCW, and Primary Arms Vulcan. Key evaluation factors include battery life, glass clarity, window size, and extreme durability. The discussion highlights the evolution from iron sights to red dots and the benefits of enclosed emitters for harsh environments.
The Holosun 507 Competition RDO features a large window and RMR footprint, directly competing with the Trijicon SRO. While both optics offer similar benefits, the Holosun 507 Comp is positioned as a more budget-friendly alternative, costing $100-$150 less than the SRO. This makes it an attractive option for competitive shooters seeking a high-quality, large-window red dot sight without the premium price tag.
The EOTech EFLX is EOTech's first pistol-sized red dot sight, utilizing a reflector system and a large square window. It shares the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprint, allowing for top-loading battery changes without losing zero.
