Another great presentation as usual Lenny! Thanks so much for your time and knowledge presenting these great products.

Excellent explanation of the 32 MOA circle and 2 MOA dot and how they work at defense, competition and long distances.

best down to earth and practical MOA explanation I have seen. well done and thanks

I have been a fan of Holosun for my rifles for quite a while. Best bang for the buck at short and intermediate (

Superb video Mr Magill. Excellent all the way around. You have that DJ voice of late night radio Top 10 countdown.

For those of you wondering if you trust the shake awake system, let me say this. I didnt even know my sight had it because its so fast and so reliable every time I would pick up the gun it was already on, so I just assumed it never turned off. When I found out my red dot had this feature I didnt believe it. So I laid my gun down horizontally on a table and let it sit for about twenty minutes, I got down and looked through the window without moving it, and god damn if it wasnt off. There was no red dot. And as soon as I even baaaaarely touched it... boom it was on.

@@bflatmusic8123 I used red once for a front sight...and heating there wasn't a big issue. Then I had a comp in the front of a barrel...now that was a big pain in the A to get off....it was so hot to come off that I used an oven mitt with a wrench and the mitt burned down....now that would melt all the electronics inside the red dot (I guess). And I also had one red dot come off to my face (was just trying it out before using blue) and torque it down.

I am a lifetime shooter, I started competing with a pistol 51 yrs ago, but only recently became interested in Glock type pistols, specifically the Polymer 80. I have been watching a lot of your videos to learn more about this while waiting for my parts to arrive. I had found the advantage of red dots several years ago and how they help with aging eyes, I have found your videos to be very informative, including this one with one significant exception, your recommendation to use Red Loctite on the screws. Loctite recommends: 'Loctite Threadlocker Red is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners.' Take note of the reference to permanent, it is really intended to uses where the item won't be taken apart after assembly, but if you have to, here is there recommendation: 'It is only removable once cured by heating up parts to 500°F'. Since you have to remove the red dot to replace the battery, I don't think that red dot could survive the use of high heat to remove it. This is a perfect application for Blue Loctite, the Red would be a poor choice in this situation.

I would appreciate that list. I built my P80 and am having some problems with it I haven't been able to work out. Fails to go into battery when shooting, every shot have to push slide forward about that last 1/8". I think more shooting may solve that. Biggest problem is striker is hitting the primer near the edge, way off center, a few rounds it has taken 3 tries to get some ammo to fire, I have no idea what to do about the way off center primer hits.

He puts out a lot of good content. Your awesome Lenny I just would stick to the blue loctite my own preference!

Thanks Lenny, I truly value your opinion

Lenny, this is a great video. I am on the hunt for a red dot for my Glock 43 and my Glock 20SF long slide. The hunt is fascinating and you are helping. Thanks

Man I though I did well with a 280.00 price tag. I think it's worth the wait. Aimpoint and Trijicon better start to take the new companies like Holosun and Atibal. But then again AP. and Trij. most likely content will their sales to the U.S. Military. Both companies make excellent optics but the price point can hurt some Holosun will most likely begin to get the love they deserve from the shooting community. Never had problems with Holosun and Atibal products. Just keep your fingers crossed for Optics Planet to start getting them sometime this July. Holosun has a very good relationship with O.P. From what I can remember O.P. was the first major company to sell Holosun way back. Take care brother and enjoy it when you get it. Brent

ill be needing some work on a gen 4&5 glock 26, my gen 4&5 19, and possibly my competition 34. I've been looking and following many companies but still by far am impressed with every thing you guys and gals can do there!

Lenny my man, you do a great review.

that's pretty impressive for real!!! its just so cool all the stuff you can do and get these days. thanks a lot lenny for your channels, videos etc you've been able to help me with so many decisions on firearms, custom builds, parts, accessories etc. I do greatly appreciate it man. keep up the PHENOMINAL work and again thank you! can't say that enough. I need to come visit the GS next time I go to Cali for vacation👍 be awesome to meet and talk with you in person and see the store. again thank you sir! been great help

Great explanation I'm new to optics, I just got the 507k for my 43x but haven't installed it yet. the slide is out being milled for it. This helps me clear a few things up that i had questions about .

Lenny still relevant and "jacked" after all these years! Keep pumping buddy! :)

I had GS mill the slide on my Glock 23 for a Vortex Venom, took about 8 weeks to get it back but it was perfect.

This guy Lenny McGill is friggin awesome. Not only does he make his explanation easy to understand for even novice shooters, He also makes it sound like it’s coming from just an average guy. Hell this guy sounds like he could be anyones uncle! You could meet him for the 1st time somewhere and in 1 minute you could be talking to him like you’ve know him for years! He’s just that kind of guy. Just one more reason why i like Glocks!

Just got the 507c v2 for my 509 tactical. Great sight.

Just ordered one through your website, thanks for the In depth video.

With the 32 moa circle you could also calculate drop at long distance and know exactly where to aim and place the dot to hit your target. If you’re accurate enough....

I have the 507c v2 green dot .....LOVE IT ...put it on a p80 G19 with co witness ....absolutely great optic....well worth the money

Oh also just to add... I ordered a GLOCK part from MIDWAYUSA here in magnificent Missouri and it shipped same day!!

Great, simple, MOA explanation. Thanks!

Loctite 262 is fine. It's 271 that you want to be careful with. They're both red in color.

One of the reasons I bought one. FNX 45 Tactical came with a Trijicon plate so this will mount right on

Well now that was a interesting video and when I mount my red dots I never use the red because I want to be able to get it off and with the holosun 507c battery is on the bottom and when the battery quits you will need to remove the red dot however it does have the shake awake so it shuts itself off and the battery will last a very long time so it's not going to be anything you have to replace very often but when you need to it's got to come off.

Lenny your the man.thank you sir.

So when you say the solar panel will supercede the battery when there is light. Do you mean even if the sight is in battery mode the solar will take over and save the battery? Or do you have to put the sight in to solar mode and that deactivates the battery

Hi Lenny is the Holosun 507c will it work with the Springfield XDm 4.5 I will like to thank you for your excellent videos

I just purchased a CZ 75 SP-01 not too long ago. So I'm new to handguns. The Holosun 507C really has my attention.

What in the hell are you talking about? Have you ever used Blue locktite in your life? It's has a break away torque of anywhere between 20-168 lbs.....Hit it with a damn hair dryer and it loosens up to almost nothing... And anyone saying that reflex sights come off pistols either neglected to apply the propped amount of torque during installation or bought an inadequate optic for that particular caliber. They work fine.

Great comments about MOA. The new generation 507C is easier to replace the battery.

regarding the red loctite, you can get a CA glue remover as well as a little heat and it will come off. I have used red on font sights before, but I prefer NEW tubes of blue for rear sights. Purple is great for mounts, but if it doesn't work for you then I suggest Blue.

It's 7075 aircraft aluminum and is bullet proof. Color me wrong if I am but, I believe the battery life is 50k/100k, not 100k/200k. Another person who's reviewed this optic had to edit in a correction. Either way, you won't have to worry about it for a long time. I have the 515, rifle red dot sitting on top of my Hi Power, over-the-slide mount combat pistol, leaving the iron sights unobstructed for immediate, up close engagement or if you took a bullet to your optic and, since the optic isn't mounted to the slide, it doesn't reciprocate. Re-aquisition for following shots is amazing. It is also great for anything out to 100yds. It's a room-clearing, run and gun machine! I'm thinking of putting one of these on that pistol (as well as my Glock) for the sake of weight as the Hi Power (with a rail adapter underneath for a light and the metal, side mounted rail for the optic) is pretty heavy with a full magazine but, that weight tends to mitigate recoil so. It has its advantages. :) For anyone who wants to try this sight without having a special slide, there us a Glock, rear sight dovetail adapter which replaces the rear sight. The mount just slides into the dovetail and has a plate to accept the optic. You won't have a rear sight but you can decide if you really like it red dot before having your slide cut or buying an MOS style pistol. I love mine and I can put other things on it, too, like a laser sight in the rear sight position.

Bought one but does not work.....solar panel doesn't work either...emailing back and fourth for possible warranty....

Is it necessary to use a plate for the rmr or just to the slide directly?

@Oxibase

3 жыл бұрын

I know it’s been awhile since you posted this question, but I also have astigmatism and the red dot on my HS510c looks really clear. When I first turned it on, it did appear really blurry, but then I realized what the problem was. This was my first red dot, so I hadn’t had much experience with them before. I quickly realized that when focusing my eyes on the target I was aiming at, the dot comes clearly into focus, which makes a lot of sense. Before, I was focusing on the dot itself, which is not the correct way of looking at it. You shouldn’t have a problem with the dot as long as you are wearing your glasses or contact lenses.

I have this sight, and I love it, but they only offer 2MOA. I wish they had a 3 or 4 in this model. Or... if they have the tech to change the reticle why not have an adjustable MOA? Just my 2 cents.

Pretty sure that dot math is wrong, Correct me if I’m wrong, but the dot appears as a larger section of the target the farther out you go, and actually appears smaller the closer you are to the target.
