I was looking at going with a 507K X2 on my 509M for the same reason.

Looking to get my first optic. Should I wait for the Holosun EPS? Or get the 508 now?
This will be going on a M&P 5” |

The window isn't as large as the SRO, but it's larger the 507c and way larger than the RMR. Has a slight blue tint, but nothing like the RMR. The only downside to the MPS is that it only has 6 daytime brightness adjustments. Shooting it indoors, I felt that there was a jump in brightness. One setting was a bit too dim, but the next step was a bit too bright. I'll have to see how it performs outdoors. So far I'd say SRO > MPS > 507c > RMR. https://i.imgur.com/mgXLHMBh.jpg View Quote Who did the cut on the dw? |

The brightness settings were good and I felt that they increased in good increments (no dim to super bright jumps). I'm really liking it. I had originally planned on swapping it for a P2 but now I'm not so sure (especially since the P2 has a smaller window). |

Thanks. Was looking into nighthawk and dw optic cut plate system but will add Vulcan to the list. Pretty much decided on the Sro due to large sight picture.

Planning on adding a dot to my woods carry 686+. I use a chest holster and am a little concerned about winter carry. Anyone ever have the lens or emitter load up with snow/ice and become unusable? Thanks

Thanks View Quote Had my dot guns in duty Rigs in a fair bit of snow over the last five years and it's never been an issue. Granted there were hood covers on most of those holsters. It's even less of a concern/issue with an enclosed emmiter sight. I run the 509T, but there are plenty of options now. |

RMR or Holosun

Traded a member here for this 19.5 mos. Ordered a forward control designs RMR plate and got the whole thing put together. The plate fit snug on the pistol and the RMR took a couple gentle taps with a rubber hammer to seat into place. Feels super solid and drawing from holster the dot is in the window without me searching for it so hopefully the learning curve doesn’t take too long.

Mine was good enough at 10 yards when I used my irons. IIRC, it was shooting just a little low. And the Romeo isn't cut as deep as the one above. I think a stand alone rear would be more useable. And some of these optic sights with cut rears may or may not work with your particular front sight. I think it falls under the "try & buy" for your particular gun. |

View Quote Rear sight of the Romeo2 will do the job but it is designed to work with the Sig Suppressor height front sight. I have XRAY3’s on mine. That being said; I am still not convinced that BUIS are worth a shit anyway in an oh shit situation. There are alternate aiming methods with any pistol. But if that’s your stick then a set of XRAY3 super talls will fit the bill. Most of the sights you listed there, I can’t comment on because I have never used them. But it’s always good to have options and it is a sign of the times. Just watch out for junk. Cp |

Been watching this thread for a long time. Finally put a Holosun 507c on my 686 using than Allchin mount. Everything mounted up fine, but I've run out of elevation adjustment. Still about 3 inches high at 20 yards. Have a shim ordered, but still. Anyone else ever run into this problem?

This will be the next one to get an RMR if I can find a shop that mills them.

@Henny inspired me to test out rumble. Took 1 min to upload this via web interface. Pretty snappy and non-YT.
Stock Gen 5 (aside from milled RMR) at reduced c zone steel at 50Y out of concealed appendix. This was earlier this year. Was making consistent hits at these times (2.3-2.4 first hit). Also did it with mp shield (irons), but times were longer. Single plane aiming is a thing. |

So @Holdemdown mentioned this to me, which I was unaware.
In general, I'm still a big fan of the RMR Type 2 and personally don't see enclosed emitter as a really big deal, as evidenced by the water tests (see link at bottom of OP). The type 2 RMR has been the gold standard for a long time - they are tough and have seen broad use. That said, I am not opposed to Holosun and have one of their T1 clones on a rifle I love. The incremental benefits of their pistol optics are starting to add up. This new EPS looks neat - Link - RMR footprint - Larger Window - Solar Backup - Enclosed Emitter - Shake awake - Replaceable battery - Low profile base allowing use standard iron sights. This is a big deal as the lower the red dot, the easier it is to pick up, IMO. Now, 1 or 2 of these things dont really move me, but 5-6 small improvements are starting to add up. My carry guns will keep an RMR but I might need to get one of these to try out. |

Fooboy, I am impatiently waiting for Holosun to release them.

Completely new to pistol optics.
I have a PSA Dagger SW1 extreme carry slide with Docter cut optics footprint. Does the optics cut dictate what optics I need to look for? Or is it all about finding the right adapter plate? I'm trying to keep optic cost under $200, I just don't know what I'm doing to get everything to match up. And if it's all about the adapter, what adapter would I need? |

Your Doctor cut will fit optics like the Burris Fastfire III, J-Point and I think the Vortex Venom. The RMR cut will obviously fit RMRs, but also the SRO and Holosun 403/503. |
