Frequently Asked Questions

What new pistol red dot sights did Holosun release at SHOT Show 2023?

Holosun expanded their SCS (Solar Charging Sight) series with new models for the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0, Walther PDP, and H&K VP9. They also introduced the SCS 320, an enclosed optic featuring a Delta Point Pro footprint, addressing requests for more robust designs.

What makes the Holosun 507 Competition sight unique for shooters?

The 507 Competition sight boasts a large window and the innovative Competition Reticle System (CRS). This system allows users to switch between a 2 MOA dot, 8 MOA ring, 20 MOA ring, or 32 MOA ring, adapting the aiming point for various shooting distances and competition stages.

What is the Holosun DRS and how does it work?

The DRS (Digital Rifle Sight) is a revolutionary optic that overlays a digital thermal image onto a traditional red dot sight. It uses a unique projection system that reflects the thermal image directly into the user's eye, minimizing lag and allowing for real-time thermal viewing alongside the red dot.

What are the price ranges for Holosun's new thermal and night vision devices?

Holosun is making advanced thermal and night vision technology more accessible. Their DRS thermal models range from approximately $1,600 for the mid-range to $2,300 for the upgraded version with a larger sensor. Night vision versions with an IR illuminator are priced around $1,000.

Can the Holosun SCS Rifle Sight be used on pistols?

Holosun explicitly advises against mounting the SCS Rifle Sight on pistols. The windage and elevation turrets are calibrated for rifle recoil, and the unit is not designed to withstand the stresses of a reciprocating pistol slide, which could lead to damage.
