One of the top 10 firearms/training UA-cam channels ever. The thing is though, a lot of us religiously watching Aarons videos are dedicated higher volume shooters who use our vacation time and bonus pay to take training classes. Consequently, we surround ourselves with people that do the same.
former pilgrim Exactly. Like I need the VERY best bang for my buck. Instead of spending like 600 dollars on something I come here and can find something just about as good for about half that or 400 for example.
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Enoch Cannon thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
As always, great review. I agree with you about the usefulness of the circle dot combination reticle for those who are new to red dot optics. Very helpful feature when learning how to acquire the dot. After six months with the circle dot combo, I switched to the 2 MOA dot and haven’t looked back!
Awesome review! I preordered one about a week and half ago so I’m glad to see the review do so well. BTW I love the shirt and want one! Aaron, you are one of 4 channels I follow but definitely my favorite for sure
recently found your channel as I've been looking to make the switch to handgun rds. Needless to say there is a treasure trove of info on your channel. Love the statistics and science background to your logic. And not to be forgotten; you have great taste in intro music.
As far as the strength of different shapes, yes, triangles are the strongest in compression. Circles are the strongest in tension. More important than the strength of the shape is directing forces around critical components. that's why the RMR is so durable. It directs the majority of impact forces around the lens - the most fragile component of the optic.
Just received my 507c V2 today. First pistol RDS. Now time to train and get proficient. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge on RDS, and vidoes on how to better hone our skills.
Absolutely amazing optic for your firearms! I've put about 15k rds through all three of my 508T-x2 and have no issues at all! The dot and lens is very clean/crisp! I highly recommend this optic from Holosuns!
Thanks for the informational video, Brother. I'm now getting into pistol RDS optics after years of rifle and sub gun RDS use. It's definitely a step up from Trijicon HD irons for my old retired eyes.
Good stuff, thanks for your feedback. I've been happy with the RMR and due to the durability had no reason to consider something else. I'll be adding a RDS to my P10 soon and will take a look at this version.
Everyone of the youtube channels ive watched has mentioned you. You've got a REGISTERED autosear. Im jealous as hell because science matters to me. Keep it up brother
I have both the 507C and 508T version 1s after watching your reviews. Got a hell of a deal on both of them. I've been waiting for the 508Tv2 review and will be my next order to replace my 507C where it will go to be used as a canted offset optic on my AR15
Can’t wait for these to get to distributors, just got done ordering the finishing pieces to a new carry pistol. This will be going on top as my first pistol optic
I've been trying to get one of these things for way too long now and cant find them. Thanks for the review, now i want one even more.... and still cant find one
@@jamesraab9004 optics planet has mine on back order but hopefully ranges open back up by the time it comes in so I can run it. It will be my first pistol dot
I sent my 508T back to Holosun on the 4th of May using the prepaid label they sent me. I had no problems with my 508T but the auto brightness setting that I don’t use anyway did not work. Since the competition season was put on hold I figured I would go ahead and send it back to Holosun for repair. Today, May 22 I received my return package from Holosun with a brand new 508T V2 inside. What a great company! I know its a Chinese company but I can’t deny how good their optics are. I have one Trijicon RMR and three Holosun’s. I like the Holosun’s better.
I know this is a year old, but I'm pretty sure its an American company with production in China. Like basically every company right now minus gun companies.
I love your reviews. I know its not a duty optic, but itd be awesome if you reviewed the holosun 507k once it finally ships, it looks like it could be a really solid optic for daily carry
I ordered my HE508T-GR V2 a few days ago because I've got several Holosun optics and I love them. Not to say my Trijicon and Vortex optics aren't great as well but I really wanted to add this one into my rotation. Thanks for the video Aaron! Keep up the great work! 👍👌
I know your comment was 3 years ago, but I'm just watching these videos. Did you ever get the Halosun is so, how does it stack up to your Trijicon RMR? Which one do you recommend? Thanms.
After watching the first Holosun video and purchasing one for CCW, I honestly was expecting to see the glass break after those drop tests. Seems like it improved in every aspect.
Aaron is not arrogant or condescending to viewers. He shoots one HELL of a lot of rounds and through experience, knows what he is doing. Thanks for the review. I own a 508T Vers. 1 on a Zev\\ built on a G19 Gen3 Gripframe. I am VERY positive on Holosun in my personal experience.
Have had mine on pre order for a few weeks, still waiting. Was thinking about the 509t instead but still debating it. It’s for Glock 10 MM MOS...Glad to see this awesome video on it
I researched them both quite a bit. I'd stick with the 508t v1 or v2 green or red reticle ( I prefer green on pistol dots ) the 509t is great but id stick in on a smg like B&T apc9 or ghm9. 508tv2 is the best pistol dot. And the new 507k is the best for compacts
@@brighthought11 Why is 509t bad for pistols, the size? The base isn't any bigger than the 508t, and I was worried rain or dirt etc. might affect the 508t
@@edxlee never said it was bad. It just requires a different mounting footprint than the rmr cut the 508 shares with. Thats enough for me. If the elements are your concern the 509t is perfect im sure! 508t v2 looks better to me as well but thats subjective.
Just ordered my 508T v2 yesterday, first red dot for my first pistol, got an email today saying 1-3 months to restock. Really hoping it gets here sooner can’t wait to try it out
You can appreciate a company that innovates and improves their product because they know they can do better and not because someone in the market is taking their sales.
Excellent content as always. Out of curiosity, would you consider doing a designated review of the selector backplate? Obviously it won’t be something that practically applies to very many viewers, but I’m sure many of us would still be interested to hear your thoughts - Process for acquiring one, if it truly is just a range toy or if you can think of any real practical applications where you’d want to have the FA option, how it runs with comps, etc. Just a suggestion/request!
More on topic for this video - I purchased the 508T V1 based on your and other recommendations and of course two months later they announced the V2 with the side-loading battery tray. Oh well though, I’ll just wait the two or three years until I need to change the first battery in my V1 and swap it out for the V2 at that time 🤘
Thank you so much this review helps alot, as much as I want the trijicon it is way too expensive for me, I could probably buy another gun for that price. So Holosun probably my best choice.
I’ve had the V2 for about a month and a half now as Holosun was so generous to upgrade my RMA from a gen 1 to gen 2 and I absolutely LOVE the gen 2 even more so than the gen 1 now. One thing that wasn’t talked about it and I’m not sure if you noticed but when using a light, unlike other optics including the RMR, the dot DOES NOT lose any intensity no matter what setting it’s on. I’m not sure how they did that but it’s one of the first things I noticed about the gen2. Love it.
I went to the party too early and have a 507c g1. Aron's just killing my wallet. In order for me to upgrade to the 508t g2 i'll need another RMR cut pistol.....🤔😁! I like my 507c enough that I just have to keep it! Best Wishes Aron!
I appreciate the detailed review and testing. I'm going to order one of these now lol. I do have a question though. Why was the last drop test 5 test shot cut in-between shots?
is the mounting the same as the version 1? I would like to mount this on an offset mount on my rifle using the Arisaka offset but it is not specific as to the mount for the version/Gen 2. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else watching this for the third time while waiting for your 508t gen2 preorder to actually ship?

When does it release? Debating between this and the 507c

Man can’t wait for the 507K review, that optic is what has me most excited this year.

Yes.

This is an excellent channel! Thank you for the testing and information. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Very thorough review, just ordered one. Thank you.
Your reviews of RDS optics is my go to source for this info. Seems like this is a great option!

I got mine at midway.

Man u just sold me on this optic. Was debating between this or the rmr. Glad i watched this video.

whiskey and sage dynamics doing and reviews of something i am thinking of buy, nice little friday.
Finally a review on this optic I purchased one 2 weeks ago still waiting 1-3 months to ship .....

I finally got mine... Took forever to come back in stock... I love this thing!
Hell yeah brother! Thanks for reviewing this.

If the gun you have is a glock pattern, Brownells' RMR cut stripped slides are pretty good.
