Disagree on the PSA front.

The avg person has no clue of how many guns and parts those guys churn out.

Also, they didn’t reinvent the wheel, they came in at a lower price than the rest of the market.

They didn’t “revolutionize” anything.

PSA is a perfect example of an American success story. They’ve completely revolutionized the market and as a result, have helped change the entire “assault weapon” political debate by putting so many guns in people’s hands.

Holosun, on the other hand, demonstrates everything wrong with much of America today. Holosun puts out a superior product at a very good price. Their design, reticles, battery placement, solar cells, and reliability put US competitors to shame.  

I’d pay up for a U.S. designed and made brand, but it probably wouldn’t be as good.

I disagree.

They revolutionized communications in the industry by actually listening to and interacting with customers, and manufacturing products they asked for.

They revolutionized the manner in which to get more guns in to common use by implementing a business model to make their products affordable.

I don't understand the need for multiple reticles on an unmagnified red dot optic? And is there really a need for a solar panel when an Aimpoint offers 5+ years of battery life? I'm all for innovation but those two things just seem like a gimmick.  The other features you listed have been available from Aimpoint offerings for many years.

I prefer an Eotech reticle for most shooting, especially on full auto with a subgun, with the ability to switch to just a dot for distance or under NVG's. Is there a need for solar with 5+ year battery life? Maybe not, but the fact is having it is better than not having it. Aimpoint doesn't offer a large windowed dot with an Eotech style reticle. Their optics are MUCH bulkier than an AEMS. Eotech doesn't offer a high battery life optic with their reticle and a low mounting platform for subguns and non-AR platforms. Let's be realistic, Aimpoint and Eotech have offered essentially the same products for the past 20 years. Aimpoint has offered a few different battery options and flavors for placement, but that's about it.

They don't have to stop making stuff they already make. Im not buying anymore open emitter RMRs, and they could also offer more LED ACOGs.

Primary Arms is probably 2-3 iterations away from surpassing the ACOG anyways, and Trijicon wants $1200 for em.

From a consumer standpoint, an Aimpoint will remain more future proof and hold its value longer than a thermal/red dot combo. The thermal will become outdated when a newer cheaper model is introduced but the Aimpoint will still be compatible with whatever nods you have in the future.

The customers they don't lose, maybe.

I own a RM06 and a SRO. I'll almost certainly never buy another RMR unless they update the damn thing or I find one at silly cheap prices. Holosun is absolutely destroying them with real, meaningful design advancements. Sig isn't far behind.

I'll probably keep buying ACOGs, though.

I bought one of their 1x prisms, and it's the most disappointing optic I think I've ever bought.

Looking through it gives me a headache like I'm wearing the wrong eyeglass prescription or something.

Maybe that's just a 1x prism thing or it's not truly 1x, but makes me a little hesitant to try anything else from the brand.

I think Holosun is on the right track with the EPS, EPS Carry, and that enclosed SCS 320 thing they just introduced to fit Sigs.

I also think it's brilliant that Holosun is making a line of optics that direct mounts to the factory optics cuts from Glock, S&W, Sig, HK, and Walther. That's not a gimmick. That's awesome.

Sig themselves got the memo on how to build a pistol optic in the 2020s and just introduced this thing:



That has a lot of potential.

Innovation? What have they done this century that's innovative?

They have like 11 SKUs of ARs, and they're all 16" 5.56 guns except for the three retro models. Only three are free floated.

They make a variety of 1911s, but they're all single stack, and I don't think any are optics ready.

I applaud them for bringing back the DA snake guns, but that's not really innovation, either.

The SAA seems to be a unicorn, too. I don't think I've ever seen a new one for sale.

I have a few Colt firearms, and a King Cobra is on my short list. I'm not a hater. But they clearly have failed to bring anything actually new to the table in a very long time.

PSA is vertically integrated the other direction, too. They keep buying their suppliers or establishing their own inside suppliers to the extent that, IIRC, they make everything that goes into most of their guns except for springs. That makes a huge difference.

They also have a level of consumer engagement you don't typically see from a company their size. They talk to us, and they listen to us.

With the traditional sales model, distributors order what they think will sell from manufacturers, and dealers order what they think will sell from distributors, and the consumer has a choice of what's on the shelf after those middle-man inputs. With PSA's direct model, the manufacturer gets more accurate input of what consumers actually want.

All of this matters and makes a difference.

I will agree that the direct mounting optic is a good idea.
Not having to use suppressor height sights is pretty cool too.
Everythingg else that gets touted as 'innovation' just seems like what Chinese optics have been doing for years such as multi colored and different reticles on a non-magnified optic.  

The problem lies somewhat is that there is no industry standard for optics cut which results in almost everyone buying a factory 'optics ready' gun having to use adapter plates.  I can only speak for myself but I am happy with my slides that have been cut specifically for the optic I wanted to use such as the RMR.  I would however prefer not to have to use suppressor height sights and to have my optic sit as low as possible.

Meanwhile legacy companies like Trijicon, Glock, aim point, etc are resting on their laurels and acting like the market hasn’t changed since 2005.

Trijicon still can’t get the fact that closed emitters are the future and the market won’t accept the RMRcc footprint. Basic shit they could change that would make them money hand over fist.

Glock finally came out with a gen 5 Glock 20 and 21 nearly SIX years after the initial gen 5 release? A OEM trigger that is finally on par with the competition? Meanwhile I’m still waiting on a Glock 26 with a rail and an MOS slide… Factory milled slides/slide assemblies/frames from the factory, able to be purchased separately ala PSA?

It was popular because it was one of the first quality LPVOs, and it was also a wild change up to their product line, contradicting the idea they don't change because that's what their customers want.

This is true, but the people who don’t pay attention to such things eventually follow the people that do.

A few years ago carry optics was not well received even in the training/tactical community.

That’s changed, and as a result the market has changed.

My current primary carry gun (Glock 19.5 MOS) wears an RMR.

I doubt my next carry optic will be a Trijicon, unless they pull their head out of their ass.
