Holographic vs Reflex
This guide clarifies the distinction between holographic and reflex sights, drawing on insights from Shortshot Tony. Reflex sights use LED reflection off a curved lens, are generally more compact and affordable, but have parallax and a visible emitter. Holographic sights use lasers and mirrors, offering zero parallax and durability with broken glass, but are typically larger and heavier. Understanding these differences is key for selecting the right optic for your firearm.
