We sold steel and oil to Japan prior to WWII.

In irony, the Japanese used the oil to propel the ships and steel for bomb casings and attacked us at Pearl Harbor.

Would it be ironic to use Holosun products to fight the Chinese?

after the EMP, we'll be using iron sights.


Only a problem if the optic is connected to the grid.

@mancow

Yes, if the emitter gets occluded it is a problem. This has been known to happen. If it is a concern, that's where the enclosed emitter MRDS optics come in - your Aimpoint ACROs, Holosun 509ts, and the new enclosed 507.

That's why all I really want is for Trijicon to machine an RMR with a slightly bigger housing and another piece of glass. Keep the shitty battery compartment and everything else if you must - I can deal with confirming zero once a year or longer, if necessary. Just enclose that emitter, please.

If they're going through the trouble of enclosing the emitter, which I agree is a good idea since I have encountered a blocked emitter on an RMR before, then they need to make the battery replaceable without removing the optic. Of all the *featurez* Holosun has, those are the only two that are actually an improvement. Still not worth sending money to the CCP when it can be avoided, but the ACRO P-2 may cut into Trijicon's sales a fair amount.

I really just wonder if it's a valid concern.  Looking at the way the sights are generally attached, I would think you'd get just as much POI shift from removing/replacing the slide.  I suppose if you had a huge difference in the torque on the screws maybe... like barely tight enough to hold the sight on, and then gorilla'ed them down after the battery replacement.

That'd be about it, in my amateur estimation. Torque values being fairly important on these screws to avoid snapping them off in your slide, proper re-install should remove that factor, and going with a good machinist should remove most any other cause. Again, in my amateur observation.

Nearly everything that every person in the US uses has ties to China. LOL at the "never will put a Chinese xxx on my xxx", while typing on a device with Chinese parts if not outright made in China. It's just the way it is and a lot of "it's actually not how it seems".

After I saw the video of the Romeo 5 taking the load of birdshot I bought 3 and have abused the one on my 15-22 relentlessly. It has been dropped, tumbled off my ATV at speed, seen freezing weather and heat of a summer truck cab.

It hasn't lost zero and works perfectly. Glass is clear, parallax is virtually non-existent and the dot has far less distortion than the Aimpoints and MROs that are now gone, I have astigmatism.

Look, I'm not arguing with you. I'm simply stating facts and they are that every single company and corporation the PRC are "run" by the government at some level. That's not conjecture, that's a fact. Secondly China steals 100's of billions of dollars in intellectual property every single year.  Again, that's a fact and I'm little more than open source news familiar with that problem set.

Yes, the days of direct patent infringement of technology are coming to an end.

My point was simply that China, hence Chinese companies, have a sizable advantage.  In simple terms let's say that Trijicon invests $10M in some new technology and hopes to recoup their investment. What will occur is that China will steal that RD through industrial espionage. They'll examine the tech and modify it to avoid patent infringement. Hell, most the time they improve it and then using their government run and managed environment they manufacture that product for substantially less money…..and they saved the $10M in initial RD.

The fact is that China practices industrial espionage on scale the world has never seen before and if you don't understand that it plays a role even in something as mundane as a red dot then I'd say you're uninformed. They put the Israelis to shame...

Wait, a couple pages back it was stated this sight has a 2,000 hour charge life.  It just jumped by a factor of 10X to 20,000?  So you need to stick it under a light every couple of years for a few hours and then you can stick it in a safe for a couple more years?

No, I don't care about those features. I didn't list an improved battery compartment among my minimum requirements, so I would throw that back in because removing the optic to change the battery, no matter how infrequently, is annoying.

Beyond that, that's about it. Do those things and keep the same footprint and I'll pay extra for that from Trijicon over the enclosed Holosuns.

If they have indeed pulled this off it will revolutionize the rds on pistols.

If they pull this off, in my mind it truly is a “game changer“ in that you still can use your iron sights. Probably the biggest reason why people don’t switch from irons to a red dot is because of the delay in finding the red dot and retraining to be able to find the dot. With one of these, you come up and find your sites like you normally would and the dot should be there. It really should allow people to switch back-and-forth with very little training to get used to a new system.  Because of that reason alone, I could see this being a huge success.


The other thing is, if there is an issue with the dot, your sights are already there and you were just looking barely over them.  If they make one for the p365 I am in.

He addressed the other issue in the video which is after 10 years or so, the original battery likely will need to be replaced and he saying that that can be done, albeit by the manufacturer. Likely someone else will figure out how to do it as well even if holosun for some reason disappears.

My solar gshock watch lasted about 12 years on the first battery, and then I YouTubed to learn how to replace it.  I would expect something similar with these.

Yes, if the emitter gets occluded it is a problem. This has been known to happen. If it is a concern, that's where the enclosed emitter MRDS optics come in - your Aimpoint ACROs, Holosun 509ts, and the new enclosed 507.

That's why all I really want is for Trijicon to machine an RMR with a slightly bigger housing and another piece of glass. Keep the shitty battery compartment and everything else if you must - I can deal with confirming zero once a year or longer, if necessary. Just enclose that emitter, please.

If French citizens looking to arm themselves were getting shit on by politicians who'd been bought off by Germans to wreck French industry prior to the 1940 invasion, I don't think they'd waste too much time worrying about how the Poles were doing if they were going to get more bang for their buck with German glass.

We need to take what we can get.  The time to try and fix crap by buying American or at least from Western nations was over decades ago.

I dunno why people get butthurt that China is putting out better products. You can make excuses why all day, but when it comes to my money, I'm buying the best product I can afford. I'm not giving Trijicon money just because they're an American company. They gotta earn my business like everybody else. If they're content filling gov contracts forever and not worrying about innovation, great, but I'm not buying one out of pity. They can ride the gov gravy train forever because they will never authorize procurement  of a Chinese product.
