The joke here is that Trijicon sues everyone for anything that might be similar to something they do. Browe was a Triji employee who wanted to push the tech envelope with ACOGs (battery op and other tech) and was told “NO”. So he left, and designed his own scope that was battery operated and adjusted the reticle brightness to the light level of the target. Now Triji is taking his reticle brightness adjusting idea and putting it into a pistol optic. Hence Browe should sue Triji. I love my TA33, but the Browe 4x I owned had unbelievable glass and the reticle tech worked. |

That dude reminds me of Fred Durst Aaron Cowan runs Sage Dynamics. I actually really like him for the most part. He wrote a ton of white papers and has standardized durability testing for red dots. He also does comparisons and compiles data. He's honestly one of the best objective sources of information, but he sure ain't perfect. He totally ignored this failure, although I'll give him credit I think it's still up on the video so he didn't blatantly try to hide it, but he wouldn't talk about it which leads me to the conclusion he was compensated. Which is fine, BTW you're never going to get perfect data unless you pay for it and legit give zero shits about the outcome. What kinda makes me butthurt is he hit the SRO for durability, which was totally warranted. We all know the SRO isn't a hardened optic, it's just a fantastic big open view optic. So it breaks I'm fine. In fact it makes sense. I mean I'm sure you've all seen SROs, they're great for shooting but just looking at them you can tell you better not drop them a bunch or abuse them. They're giant circles of glass of course they're going to be less rugged. But he totally ignored this part with Holofag which raised eyebrows |

The shoulder height drop test thing is better than nothing, but isn't exactly a good overall durability test. It's going to get very inconsistent results, when you only do it on one optic. It could be very misleading. |

I opted to do an RMR over a SRO because I value durability over larger and easier. I've done some abuse with mine and it's been great. |

Apparently I was wrong. He didn’t ignore it, it didn’t happen during his initial 2,000 round review of that optic. That’s a Holosun 507K. Here’s his video review in full: ![]() Holosun 507K And here’s his review of the Shield Arms S15 magazine, which is where that GIF is from. The failure happens at about the 5:50 mark: ![]() Shield Arms S15 Magazine He didn’t talk about it in the S15 magazine review because it wasn’t prosaic to the topic of that video. The lens failure happened during his long-term review process of the optic, after continuing to put rounds, drops, manipulations, and other abuse on it. If you’ve watched his other long-term optic reviews, he himself states that similar or worse failures have happened with Trijicon, other Holosun, Aimpoint, and plenty of other otherwise highly regarded manufacturer’s products. Mechanical shit breaks, especially when you use it as roughly as he does. And a sample size of one isn’t data. That’s why I posted his most recent white paper, which does provide actual data showing that Holosun is at least as reliable and durable as Trijicon products, or that Trijicon is as prone to failures as Holosun optics. God forbid anyone in GD actually take the time to read and analyze something longer than a paragraph though. His data-driven white paper is where I get my current list of acceptably reliable duty-rated optics, which is (in no particular order): Trijicon RMR, Trijicon SRO w/ Jagerwerks BROS, Trijicon RMRcc, any Holosun, Aimpoint Acro, Steiner MPS, Sig Romeo 2. And now for all evidence you can add Trijicon’s RMR HD and RCR to that list. I don’t dislike Trijicon, they make good shit. And yeah, it’d be nice if Holosun was based in the US. You can dislike that it’s a Chinese-owned company, you can dislike that it’s made in China. But objective, data-driven evidence is that their products are at least as reliable and durable as Trijicon’s optics, and stating otherwise is simply factually incorrect - regardless of how many out-of-context GIFs you post.

That dude reminds me of Fred Durst It was from a Shield Arms S15 Magazine review video (5:48), not a review about the optic, hence it not being discussed during that video. Maybe he should have, but I think that's important context. I see. It looks like a 507K. I wonder if it's the same one he had already completed the 2,000+ rounds test and several drops with? 507K isn't exactly the most robust pistol optic Holosun makes. It's definitely not going to hold up to abuse, or even routine use, as well as an RMR. They are not even the same category. It is. He often does long-term reviews of optics that pass his initial 2,000 round review process. He continues with the same protocol - using the optic to manipulate the slide off barricades, dropping it every 500 rounds, confirming it held zero, etc. It’s all kept recorded and organized in his white paper I posted earlier, keeping track of round counts and issues/breakages. Here are his 10,000 round reviews of a RMR Type 2, Holosun 509T, and Aimpoint ACRO: ![]() Trijicon RMR Type 2 Extended Review ![]() Holosun 509T at 10K rounds ![]() Aimpoint ACRO at 10K Rounds And here’s a 20,000 round review of a RMR Type 2, likely the same one from the 10,000 round review: ![]() Trijicon Type 2 RMR at 20K Not an optic, but related to all of these reviews - here’s his video on his Agency Arms G17 after 100,000 rounds: ![]() Agency Arms Full Build at 100K Rounds He always adds the disclaimer that he doesn’t “review” anything from Agency Arms and I think made the same disclaimer about the FN 509 pistol because he was sponsored/financially compensated by those companies for his input and assistance |

Regarding the 507K not being as robust as the RMR - more recently he decided to split up his review process for pistol optics into “duty” and “carry” use, the duty optics being the ones expected to be more robust and durable. The review process is basically the same except only the duty tested optics get dropped every 500 rounds. When he reviewed the 507K, he hadn’t made that delineation between duty and carry optics so during the initial 2,000 round review he still dropped it every 500 rounds, and during the process of that initial review nothing broke or failed

The comments I made before are my opinion, based on the fact that I own multiple RMRs and multiple 507Ks. I'm no expert by any means, but I have owned multiple designs by both trijicon and Holosun, for a few years now, and shoot them multiple times a month on pistols or rifles. I recently had a button go bad on a 507K, it's the only Holosun I've had to send in for warranty work so far. Generally speaking, I would not be afraid to use any Trijicon or Holosun for CC and to defend myself. Of those I've tried, here's my take on durability/reliability: 1. RMR 2. 509T 3. 507C 4. 507K 5. SRO |

I’m not advocating anyone who’s currently got a RMR on their pistol should ditch it for a Holosun product, Trijicon makes good shit. My only point is despite any animosity towards the country of origin/manufacture - duly warranted, in much case - Holosun isn’t trash. I don’t have a problem with people hating things, people, places, or anything. I just think it’d be nice if they were factually accurate while doing so. I’m done though, I’ve said my piece. If I’m ever on the range with anyone here and the opportunity comes up y’all are more than welcome to as much trigger time on the X-Five as you please. That includes you, Whiskers ![]() |

I started fucking around with pistol-mounted RDS back when Sig had first introduced their Romeo 1 sight and it was coming pre-installed on various P320 models. That thing was junk, and I had multiple problems with them. No issues since using Holosun though |
