Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Holosun P.ID handgun lights?

The Holosun P.ID lights boast solid construction with a Picatinny mount, ambidextrous metal buttons, and magnetic USB charging. Models include the HC (high Candela), Plus (with green laser), and Dual (with IR laser), offering various tactical advantages.

How does the Holosun P.ID HC perform compared to the standard P.ID?

The standard P.ID emits a wider, colder white beam. The high Candela (HC) version, however, provides a more focused, yellowish-green beam that offers better target definition and edge clarity in low-light conditions.

What are the practical uses for the integrated lasers on the Holosun P.ID Plus and Dual lights?

The integrated lasers have limited practical applications, potentially useful when shooting around ballistic shields or in specific night shooting competitions. Visible lasers are generally too bright for night vision and can be obscured by smoke or ambient light.

Are there holster options available for the Holosun P.ID lights?

Yes, Battle Nome Solutions offers holsters specifically designed for the Holosun P.ID line, compatible with Glock handguns and similar models. These holsters come with passive and level two retention options.
