It's easy to innovate when you use cheap low risk chinese labor.

Mey, that's the current market place and why other technologies are so cheap. There is a common misconception that all Chinese products are of extremely low quality. Holosun is one of the companies that break this stereotype. Their products can match or come close to the quality of Japanese and even European optical devices.

Like the Chinese product or not, their shit works and works well. I really don't think Holosun is going to steal the market share away from Trijicon; they've been getting fat on military and LEO contracts...it's the nature of the free market. New companies (even Chinese companies) will add some competition and innovation. You may despise Holosun because of who owns it or where the products are made, but it the force the other monolithic optics companies to get off their ass and start innovating, that will be a win-win for the free market.

I like Trijicon, but Holsoun has so many better features and have proven pretty damn rugged and reliable over the past several years. I hate the CCP government, but I can appreciate an innovative, creative product and expert craftsmanship regardless of ethnicity.

Why anyone would buy Chinese shit over trijicon makes no sense to me. I just picked up an rmr for less than the holosun lineup at a local store. $400+ Chinese? Fuck that.

How hard is it to figure out you shouldn't have take an optic off to change the battery.

Don't give me I can rezero in a couple of rounds excuse. I can't trust an optic if doing something as simple as changing the battery makes it not trustworthy. Stop making excuses for lack of effort.

Just as reliable, vastly better access to battery compartments, fully water proof without sealing plate, much more innovative features from shake-awake to reticle choice and now choice of red or green.  I get the whole "if it's not broke, don't fix it" mentality, but some quite small innovative updates would vastly improve the RMR, which Trijicon simply doesn't think the end user is worth the investment or they're lazy with much larger contract sales.  Again, I like and appreciate the RMR for the rugged optic it is and being made in America, but Holosun blows their innovative pants off, and I don't give any company much slack when they're marketing features are over a decade old and they refuse to compete with features many in the market place are requesting.

His explanation of the battery power storage, charging and power use is also interesting.

I'll let others be the guinea pig (those days ended for me a long time ago), but if it works as they advertise, the only unanswered question is battery replacement down the road, unless I missed that some where.

Did you get your RMR online and only looked for holosun locally? Because a brand new 509t (actually enclosed, unlike your RMR) is 299.99.

Correct. The reps in the videos at SHOT Show have stated multiple times the internal battery holds 20,000 hours of charge or roughly two years. And to recharge it just take your slide off and leave it sitting under a lamp for a night

I've never had an RMR be off more than 1 click after a battery change.  I also only have slides milled for the RMR, so they fit tight, that might be different on a plate setup like the MOS???  I always check zero after a battery change, but if the zombie's are coming and I don't have to time to check zero....I wouldn't be scared of it being off much.

This optic is innovative and interesting for sure, not sure that I'd want jump on the gen 1 bandwagon but after it's been out in the market a while and proven I'd buy one.

In other news, they are releasing their new fully enclosed emitter EPS and EPS-k models that fit on the RMR/507 footprint.

Basically the advantages of the 509 without having to use a mounting plate. These puppies use the standard screws from a 507!

Where is the disconnect with everyone?

You get a cheap, reliable optic, in exchange for the Chinese chipping away at another US industry. Their end goal is to drive ALL companies out of business, and have every country depend on them. Not just US based companies.

It's easy to figure out.  But it just makes the sight body bigger than it needs to be, adds more parts, and solves a problem than nobody seems to actually have.

If US companies cared as much about consumers as .mil there wouldn't be a market to take away.  Look at the new Eotech MRDS entry, marketed directly at the .mil based on the footprint they chose.

I'm not saying I agree with buying everything from Holosun but they're the only company actually innovating in the MRDS market right now.

Not really.  Compare the RMRCC side-by-side with the K optics, both of which have the battery tray.  There is no real difference in size.

Also, if it really didnt matter, Trijicon wouldn't have added it to the SRO.

I get that. I'm not ignorant to that fact. Many of those products we simply don't get a choice with.

We have a CHOICE with these types of optics. When you CHOOSE a Chinese product over American, that's where you should CHOOSE not to give them your money.

I agree with that to a point, but by math. 2000 hr with a charge of 6-8 hours, going on the high end 30 mins should give 125 hours of use, or about 6 days. That assumes it does not shut down and wake up with shake awake. Also I would bet when covered it senses that and dims to its lowest setting or off. So with some assumptions 30 mins of light exposure could be weeks of stand by and 40 hours of use. ( or more )

And if trijicon made it for 50-100 bucks more I might buy it. But I would not spend twice as much for 10 year old tech. Thats your disconnect, they are 10 years behind and charging twice as much.

This is a game changer in slide mounted red dots, no battery to change ever. Smaller height that allows factory sights to work, and thats the big innovation here, if trijicon did that even with a battery that needs to be changed I would probably buy it. Screw the solar or the batterty, the height is whats getting me.

I have a staccato c2 dpo on order, I had to buy a plate, get taller sights to use a red dot. If I had known this was coming I would have gotten standard sights on my staccato and not had to order a plate. Infact I am tempted to contact staccato and try to change to standard height sights due to this one change in optic.

I get that. I'm not ignorant to that fact. Many of those products we simply don't get a choice with.

We have a CHOICE with these types of optics. When you CHOOSE a Chinese product over American, that's where you should CHOOSE not to give them your money.

Let's be real here, people are buying them for the price, not for solar power or battery tray.

RIF: from my post above "I would happily buy an American made product if there is any that offer the same level of technological advances at a reasonably competitive price with the same or better quality."

I had a buncha stuff typed out, but deleted it because we are sidetracking this thread.  Don't be like the leftists and demand everyone has to fall in line with your way of thinking.

I bought a 508T because it's made of titanium, has solar backup, shake awake, and a better reticle. I'll be buying the Gen2 508T soon for all of that and for the side loading battery, and the green LED. And I'd pay more for it than an RMR because it's better.

Don't assume to tell me my reasons for spending my money on shit

It's all part of their plan to dominate the world and have every single country depend on them for everything.
