    Thanks for the review. Own this and scrapped it for conceal carry as I could not always find the dot on draw. Will add it to a Canik and have a nice range gun.

    For cleaning the sight, I never use alcohol-based cleaners. I just use a Q-tip-soaked damp in distilled water to wipe the lens inside and outside. This picks up any dust and dirt without scratching the lens. The distilled water does not leave any hard water deposits. I also wipe the red or green lite bulb with the swab. It works very well.

    One thing missing in the Holosun booklet is the size of the two different screws included. they are 6x32 and 8x32.

    They had to modify the footprint in order to make it completely waterproof. Only red dot that is fully water proof

    mine does not auto-off. it's supposed to do that by default but doesn't. I even went through the steps of holding down + for 10 seconds, ensuring it was set to the 10 minute timer, and saving the setting. turned it back on, left it on my shelf and went out to grab food. about 30-40 minutes later I come back and check the optic without touching it and it's still on..

    I have M&P 9 shield, is there an adapter to make this fit? Do I remove the rear sight? In front the the rear sight I have the red “loaded when up” feature and I don’t think that’ll allow the red dot to sit over it.

    • @OpticsTradeEU

      I think it is best to contact Smith & Wesson. I do not know of any adapters, suitable for 407 and 507K, that go on this pistol directly.

      You could get one of these (designed for the Shield RMS/SMS footprint) and have them modified for the 407, 507K footprint (which is a modification of that footprint). You have to remove the rear sight.

    How do you get the battery out? I removed the screw on side and mine doesn’t slide out easily. I don’t want to force it. Is it necessary to pry it?

    How do I set the timer for sleep mode or whatever?

    • @OpticsTradeEU
      @OpticsTradeEU  2 роки тому +3

      The default timer setting is 10 minutes, you enter the adjustment by holding the '+' button for 10 seconds. There are 4 options - 10 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours or 'sleep mode disabled'.
      You set the time with the '+' and '-' buttons. The number of the blinks of the LED tells you the current time (1 = 10 min., 2 = 1 h, 3 = 12 h, 4 = sleep mode disabled).
      You save the setting by pressing the '+' and '-' buttons simultaneously (the dot powers off).

    They had to change the footprint so that way the optic can be waterproof.

    It is cut for an RMR/DOC footprint, not a Shield. It is because RMR is the most popular footprint.

    Will there be a chance we can buy the version with the ACSS reticle and big circle from you?

    • @OpticsTradeEU
      @OpticsTradeEU  3 роки тому +4

      The ACSS models are a result of cooperation between Holosun and Primary Arms. Holosun hasn't introduced the 507K model of theirs with an ACSS reticle as of yet. If Holosun & Primary Arms do come up with it, you will be able to purchase it from us, of course.

      not sure why they would use an ACSS reticle or any reticle with BDC on a red dot _primarily intended for a pistol_ . You wouldn't normally shoot at a range that you would need BDC.

      @@chiboy002 Think they want one single reticle in all used optics. I use the ACSS too, in all my scopes and red dots on AK (.223) and AR (.300blk). Only not the longrange .300WinMag rifle;-) But I‘m with you… for my pistols I use only circle dots and think the ACSS are not reasonable.
