Nice video + comparison. I never noticed the more solid 2 pic slot mount on the 512 till u pointed it out. 👍 Thank you. I was debating between the two and ultimately chose the 510 for $250 including tax + shipping. I Loved that the 512 is closed, but I wanted a QD just in case the dot ever took a 💩 on my Ruger PC + I needed 2 take it off ASAP. Prob will never actually be in that situation, at least I hope not, but still.... I would of paid up for the 512 if it had a QD built in that didn't raise the height.(or not by much) I feel the same about the AEMS.....wish it had a low mount with QD. So,....I just got the 510 4 now. Good enough for my 1st one I guess.

one of my favorites. got the gold dot. the aems is a winner also. good review. they also make a titanium version. IMO it's a good to go hard use optic. i have had mine for about 3 years on my 9 inch galil ace in x39. hasn't lost zero. i love it for big window like eotech but the battery doesn't die every time ya take it out like eotech. with the shake awake the battery really last. mine still has original battery.

Best review of the 512c I’ve seen. This review provided the info I needed to make a purchase decision.
@ericb.43582 жыл бұрын
My choice is the AEMS which I put on my RUGER PC chassis carbine. (And the AEMS uses 7075 aluminum, stronger than the 6061aluminum of the HS5212C.) BUT to get perfect eye-to-reticle alignment I had to put a MAGPUL MOE 1/4" high cheekpiece on the factory supplied MOE stock. CHEAP and FAST solution. IMHO the AEMS sight is perfect for PCCs. Light, "small"(er) than an HS512C or EOTECH sight and has lens covers.

510 was my first Holosun optic, and I loved it! But after 400 rounds of shooting when I was cleaning my 16in AR i noticed the optic had moved just smidgen maybe couple mm. I clamped the shit out of the QD arm when first mounting it . That’s my only grip with is it did move a lil on the railing top the gun . It definitely needs those stop blocks or what ever call them that’s on the 512 optics , 515, 530 optics that’s I’ve seen . 510 was the first of all the optics for Holosun and I know they’ve learned a lot that optic.. I’m huge Holosun fan and there are I run on my rifles and pistols. The shake awake and there bright for a sunny day. Just perfect optic in my opinion!!

I prefer the newer HOLOSUN AEMS sight over this larger 512C. I have theAEMS on my 9 mm RUGER PC carbine (16" barrel). IMHO the AEMS is the best PCC sight for 2023 and likely for several years to come.

With the 65 MOA ring, the 6 o’clock position of the ring should be good for closer range for height-over-bore offset. So at 5-10 yards, use the 6 o’clock of the ring as your aiming point

You make a sound judgement on the HS512C for an AR or any PCC. I would like it as long as green is available. I'm older, 51 yrs, and green is going to replace all my red because I can see it better. Not trying to be bougie or anything it's just better for me.

Holosun 512 or AEMS?
@tommyguns4018

it depends on the platform. i run the AEMS on sig mpx with telescoping brace, the 512 on a bigger platform with a drop on the brace/stock. the AEMS I believe sits higher. they both are great optics with maybe the 512 being bigger with a bigger perceived window, but if you shoot with both eyes open It's really no winner. main thing is making sure the sight picture when you bring the gun up to fire come right up to your natural riser height. Otherwise you may need to add a riser. both good. If i had to pick one I'd probably say 512, only because it doesn't have a raised mount and possibly more durable.
