If I could like your comment multiple times I would. Aaron should have more subscribers but the online gun culture would rather watch buffoon shills like hickok45 ramble on about nothing while shooting steel. They would rather be entertained than educated and that's why the guy has 4+ million subscribers. The information Aaron shares for free is invaluable.
"Well...I cant only have one. I can have as many as I can afford..." I get your point about that question 100%...but for some folks, 1 IS as many as they can afford. Really glad you answered that question. Even though you hate it and I understand why. People ask that because you have become an authority on this stuff. If I can afford 10 or 20 RDS...who cares if I buy the right one. If I can only afford one, it needs to be right. You are the guy I would ask "which one" if that was my situation. Thanks for all the hard work!
I can understand & appreciate what you are saying to an extent. But in all honesty for the overwhelming majority of people how many you can afford is merely an exercise in the ranking & placement of priorities. For those saying the "only have 1" remark they usually mean that they can only afford 1 right now without changing anything in their lives, how they are currently living, or making changes to their current spending habits. If you truly want something bad enough then you will find a way to be able to get it, for the most part. That is because you jump it higher on your priority list which might be at the cost of some priorities lower on the list. It's just that in general, most people don't like making any compromises or cut backs nor do they truly analyze their spending habits & how much gets pissed away in a year by nickel & diming on small shit that didn't matter which we've all been good at from time to time. It all adds up quick. Rank, prioritize & if need be, make concessions to the lower priorities
@@blwngt1598 I agree with that. Anything is possilbe if we make it work. I just think that in reality, people that attack life that way are in short supply. Most are just trying to stay above water. Haha

I literally learn something every time I watch a SageDynamics video. Your videos and the generosity to keep making them is priceless in this community. Thanks again Aaron.
It always amazes me when I hear other officers offer opinions on red dots when they A-have limited to no experience with any red dots And B- haven't heard of your reviews. Thanks for being the only decent RDS reviewer.
I wouldn't put a lot of weight into what officers say. I once had one tell me he just carries in G26 in the front pouch of his sweatshirt while off duty no holster. And another one (same department) told me he carries his off duty gun in his belt pressed up against his skin to "keep it secure". I was left speechless.
I was on the fence but still went for an ACRO and happy with it! I’ll add a 509t to my next optic ready pistol just to have both to compare. They are both good the ACRO is just better built and tested harder. But let’s see

@@tylerehrig6722 last time I checked the human body is not bomb proof. I don't need anything to literally be bomb proof when the bomb will surely kill me. It's a waste of money to have a standard that high.
Holosun is absolutely killing it. They're the optic company we've always needed and wanted. Even their rifle optics are super nice. Sig optics are hot garbage
@Gabriel Morgan primary arms, holosun, sig are all made in the same factory. While this will not be admitted by the individual companies, several parts on different models can be seen to come off the same part lines. QD levers, bolts, glass, housings, button covers.
jbarker83 from what I’ve seen, the plate they are shipping with is a Glock MOS plate, not for a slide that’s been already cut specifically for an RMR/507/508.
Well that took the YT algorithm for ever to finally suggest this channel & even though I wish I would of know about it for a while I’m glad to be the newest subscriber, awesome work with your review & info.
I founded this channel a few years ago and found it when researching the streamlight hl-x and the tlr1-hL. I got hooked. No BS, knowledgeable, smart, great content and the video is as long as it needs to be. Packed with information from start to finish. Welcome to the channel brother
I've held up diving into the pistol red dot optics rage, but I think it's time to dive in with this new Holosun. It's got everything the acro is missing. JUMP
Man I really like this.. Can't wait to see how this stacks up in the Whitepaper! Thanks for all the hard work and continued service you provide to the gun community. 🤘
I finally got my 508t after black fridays sales, takes a while to get high demand stuff from europe to aus at the end of the year, took a gamble with the green version, and its taken a couple weeks to get used to it over my DPP, but im absolutely loving it. Thanks for having some of the best thorough and honest reviews on this kind of gear around.
I literally just got a 507. Still in the box. Oh well it's affordable, available, and it will be a good way to get my feet wet in the pistol RDS world.
You're the man! Glad to see Holosun stepping up their game even more. I've got a 503GU on my AR that I pulled off an AK. Hoping to take a carbine class with my wife when finances straighten out, and I'm excited to see how it holds up to being used that much at once.
Best reviews ever thank you I’ve been waiting on this optic to come out and I feel safe spending my hard earned money on it knowing you’ve reviewed it.
The Holosun web site states the 509T ships with an RMR plate, which to me means you mount the plate to your RMR mounting holes then mount the 509T on the plate.
I really want to thank you for your honest reviews, actual facts, torture test, and pure knowledge of firearms safety and education. I have watched tons of your videos but didn't know I wasnt a subscriber. I now am. please keep up the great work and the cringe worthy torture test. (rmr).......... thank you!!!
@@Lawman-196 lol what would it take for you to concede that holosun isnt junk? I think people like you are so dogmatic that there isnt much to convince you. Literally EVERYONE who matters who reviews these RAVE about them. Have fun paying twice the price for half the optic.
@@Lawman-196 I feel you sir. I try to buy American win I can. I just bought a Kershaw usa made knife as a matter of fact. It's just hard to for me as a casual shooter to justify The money that aimpoint wants. I did go holosun and have no regrets, but for sure. I buy American more often than not.
"Can I only have one" is applicable for using a specific optic for daily carry. In this case, you can, actually, "only have one" which makes the question valid for me.
Literally bought a Holosun 509T today based on this review. Only paid 360 out the door for it! Not sure they had it priced right, but that’s not my problem lol. Looking forward to using it!
Aaron has some of the best reviews on red dots out there. I got my 507C after watching his review. I now own the 512C for my AR. Looking at this 509T and 507K as my next option. I'm liking the features of the new gen 2 versions...squared off top instead of round, larger buttons, and quick change batteries.
Thanks for this and all your prior reviews. I have a slide going out to Jaegerworks for a 509T specific cut, one optic already on a PDW build, and I'm picking up a second to go on the aforementioned G19 slide which will end up replacing the slide I presently have on my daily carry gun that's equipped with a 507 (that slide will get transferred to my nightstand gun).
I bought a top tier Holosun red dot as I really liked some of the innovative features. Unfortunately it died shortly after purchase before I even got a chance to shoot with it. I returned it for repair eight months ago and it has still not been returned to me. When they work they are great but they fail far more than US made products and the warranty support is terrible
Would you explain your reasoning? I’m in the process of looking for a red dot for my G35 MOS and was leaning towards the DPP, but was concerned about the height for backup iron sights. It appears the Holosun is shorter - so you don’t need the Uber tall sights as compared to the DPP? Also, the DPP didn’t really survive the drop test and for a carry gun optic that is important to me. I thought about the RMR, but the battery location would end up pissing me off. So, all that to say, I would appreciate your input since you have the experience with all 3 of them. Lastly, why not the 508? What is the advantage beyond fogging of it being enclosed? - or is that the main benefit.
I really don't know what else to say after Rilian other than I really appreciate the torture tests. I baby my firearms but it is nice to know what these products are capable of. Once again well done!
Awesome optic from Holosun. I absolutely love your optic videos , Aaron !!!!!!!!!!! They are So enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great content , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching your burn downs and round count comments in February of 2021 is really bumming me out. Obviously you caused the ammo crisis. Great review. 👌🏼🇺🇸👌🏼
I've always felt the reason people ask "If you can only have one, which would you choose?" is because they are buying their first and might only be able to afford one and want to get the most recommended by someone who has tried many.
I just watched I think 6 maybe 7 of your videos. You seem to know some things, dont seem arrogant and are not too annoying. Gave you some 👍along the way, now you have earned my submission as well. I look forward to watching more of your to the point, and informative videos. You do nice work. Thank you for what you do.
Hey man, I would love to see a review of the 507k, it’s a microdot that actually looks like it could survive hard use. I know the sig Romeo zero and shield rmsc crumbled from one drop. It would be nice to have an optic to put on my 43x. Thanks for all the work you do, it’s greatly appreciated.
Fantastic Info. Aaron...Yeah I tried to slave my iron sights to the red dot....Did not work for me ....making the adjustment. very informative...Thanks
Great review. Would have been awesome if you also included a water spray/submersion test for leaks and how it affects visibility, target acquisition, distortion, and accuracy.
Yes he has some of what I think are the best unbiased reviews on the net not to mention the dry humor mixed in , although a sound effect added to the drop test , say a ww2 airplane screaming in with a bang or a pull out depending on out come of drop test
Better than the ACRO in every way. Have both and I wouldn’t get another ACRO, nor would I recommend anyone get an ACRO, period. Holosun has really stepped their game up of late, and they have some upper echelon products. Their 508T, and 509T can go toe to toe with any high end MRDS. They’re reliability and ruggedness has been proven, so at this point you’re getting just as much bang, if not more bang for your buck with the Holosun’s. The 509T is a real fuck you to Aimpoint. They basically said “here, we’ll fix all your issues, and add more features in a smaller package for less money”. In regards to the ACRO alone, the battery life is all you have to say. 509T will give you years, and the ACRO will give you months lol.
Your thread strength is proportional. On average your thread strength is going to be your first 2-3 threads, meaning failure will occur regardless of length of the threads on a fastener. Also, mil handbook 60 is a good reference for clamping loads.
A lot of people say the things you doing reviews aren't necessary and real world. What if your pistol gets dropped while running bangs up against the environment in a fight or flight. It must be as predictable as an iron sight. Excellent I love your abs on your RMR sights.
I just bought and am mounting a 512c as I watch this. Well this is bad ass I love the box looks!!! Well i guess I'll be ordering two for my p10c's. I liked the acro. But that is so damn expensive!! So this is a great choice for me!!! Thanks for the review Aaron!!
T Bundy Im wanting a 512 also but waiting for a review. I like the box look as well. Looked at the vortex Huey, Leupold, and the 512. I think the 512 will be getting my money.
Spot on testing and review. As a retired Marine with aging eyes, I've been seeking red dot options for my H&K series of handguns. I have Aimpoint and EOTech's mounted on my rifles and they make a world of difference. So, it stands to reason a pistol mounted dot will help me stay on target as well. Although Trijicon and the rest are battle proven and meet MILSPEC, I cannot afford them. Your reviews of the Holosun products have convinced me they are rugged, reliable, and affordable. My question is, can they be mounted on my H&K P30 and VP9 without having my slides cut, and if so how? Thank you in advance
Fyi. The 509t comes with an rmr adaptor plate. So you can mount it to rmr milled guns using the plate. Disadvantage to that is the optic will sit higher than an rmr/507 etc due to adding the plate.
I have been a Holosun fan from day one. My first one I got off EBay and it had issues when it would heat up and I called them and they asked for 2 pictures of it and they sent me a new one at no charge and no bullshit
With aimpoint releasing new even more expensive optics they should be nervous...holosun is getting better and better with features and quality and the price point is increasing, but definitely not floundering out of control
I've running a Type 2 RM06 on a Glock 19 Gen5 MOS. My optics plate seemed pretty flat on install and I made sure to get the sealing plate kit with the proper screws from Trijicon (it should just come with that IMO) and applied blue loctite. No issues so far, but I'm below 1000 rd at this point with the optic installed. If I could go back and do it again I'd probably just do a direct mount, but I do like having the plates as an option.
This guy should have a million subscribers..Straight up, intelligent, no BS reviews. Well done

The 508T is an outstanding RDS. Not enough improvement or additional features in the 509 for me to upgrade. That’s just IMO.

Awesome review! Let’s see one on the 507k or Romeo zero! You make absolutely the best videos for optics, mrds, and shooting skills.
I like your voice tone and very intuitive explanation! Good review!!
Awesome optic from Holosun. I absolutely love your optic videos , Aaron !!!!!!!!!!! They are So enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great content , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time seeing your videos. You talk fast but I like your review. You seem to be actually putting the optic through a real test. Subscribed.
Watching your burn downs and round count comments in February of 2021 is really bumming me out. Obviously you caused the ammo crisis. Great review. 👌🏼🇺🇸👌🏼
Gotta love Georgia in the winter. 70 -something last week, multiple 20 degree days this week. What the hell. Getting all the seasons within a few days
GiveMeThatCake you southerners have it so good. In Alberta it’s 5c right now, this time last week, it was -35c.
@@MaxwellAerialPhotography I come from a long lineage of Minnesotans. I'll gladly take northern weather over Southern.
Great review. Straight forward with no sarcasm or bullshit. Hope your channel grows. Subscribed
Definitely some of the best vids on optics and anything gun related
I've always felt the reason people ask "If you can only have one, which would you choose?" is because they are buying their first and might only be able to afford one and want to get the most recommended by someone who has tried many.
exactly
I just watched I think 6 maybe 7 of your videos. You seem to know some things, dont seem arrogant and are not too annoying. Gave you some 👍along the way, now you have earned my submission as well. I look forward to watching more of your to the point, and informative videos. You do nice work. Thank you for what you do.
Hey man, I would love to see a review of the 507k, it’s a microdot that actually looks like it could survive hard use. I know the sig Romeo zero and shield rmsc crumbled from one drop. It would be nice to have an optic to put on my 43x. Thanks for all the work you do, it’s greatly appreciated.
509 on the 509!
Cant wait! 🔫😎🇺🇸
Two minute gang rise up!
Thanks for the time and money you put into these vids man!
Thank you for the special ending. Great video
Most informative YT gun channel, appreciate your efforts 👍
Awesome review. And congrats on the SOLGW gig.
Fantastic Info. Aaron...Yeah I tried to slave my iron sights to the red dot....Did not work for me ....making the adjustment. very informative...Thanks
Great review. Would have been awesome if you also included a water spray/submersion test for leaks and how it affects visibility, target acquisition, distortion, and accuracy.
Your content is consistently good Aaron.
Yes he has some of what I think are the best unbiased reviews on the net not to mention the dry humor mixed in , although a sound effect added to the drop test , say a ww2 airplane screaming in with a bang or a pull out depending on out come of drop test
Its the one I have been waiting for!
I'm mad that youtube didn't give me the recommendation to watch this and I had to scroll through my subscription list.
Same
Throwing this on my AR as a backup, canted 45. Excited to say the least
Does the mount that comes with it attach to picitanny?
@@BrunoMcChicken yessir it’s made by Trex arms. It has a riser plate as well. It’s a solid mount.
Better than the ACRO in every way. Have both and I wouldn’t get another ACRO, nor would I recommend anyone get an ACRO, period. Holosun has really stepped their game up of late, and they have some upper echelon products. Their 508T, and 509T can go toe to toe with any high end MRDS. They’re reliability and ruggedness has been proven, so at this point you’re getting just as much bang, if not more bang for your buck with the Holosun’s. The 509T is a real fuck you to Aimpoint. They basically said “here, we’ll fix all your issues, and add more features in a smaller package for less money”.
In regards to the ACRO alone, the battery life is all you have to say. 509T will give you years, and the ACRO will give you months lol.
Another great review.. patiently waiting to see you show how the 507k performs
Your thread strength is proportional. On average your thread strength is going to be your first 2-3 threads, meaning failure will occur regardless of length of the threads on a fastener. Also, mil handbook 60 is a good reference for clamping loads.
Just got one and out it on my APX. It's a nice sight! Although I noticed that the glue along outside the front glass was a little messy.
A lot of people say the things you doing reviews aren't necessary and real world. What if your pistol gets dropped while running bangs up against the environment in a fight or flight. It must be as predictable as an iron sight. Excellent I love your abs on your RMR sights.
I just bought and am mounting a 512c as I watch this. Well this is bad ass I love the box looks!!! Well i guess I'll be ordering two for my p10c's. I liked the acro. But that is so damn expensive!! So this is a great choice for me!!! Thanks for the review Aaron!!
T Bundy Im wanting a 512 also but waiting for a review. I like the box look as well. Looked at the vortex Huey, Leupold, and the 512. I think the 512 will be getting my money.
As normal, excellent review in every respect. I was informed and entertained. Your shooting skill is impressive.
Spot on testing and review. As a retired Marine with aging eyes, I've been seeking red dot options for my H&K series of handguns. I have Aimpoint and EOTech's mounted on my rifles and they make a world of difference. So, it stands to reason a pistol mounted dot will help me stay on target as well. Although Trijicon and the rest are battle proven and meet MILSPEC, I cannot afford them. Your reviews of the Holosun products have convinced me they are rugged, reliable, and affordable. My question is, can they be mounted on my H&K P30 and VP9 without having my slides cut, and if so how? Thank you in advance
Fyi. The 509t comes with an rmr adaptor plate. So you can mount it to rmr milled guns using the plate. Disadvantage to that is the optic will sit higher than an rmr/507 etc due to adding the plate.
Just bought mine today. They have been sold out for months. They are back in stock most places (at the time of this post).
Great video and I think this is the best handgun red dot out right now!
I have a feeling holosun made a huge fanboy after they sent you a test model directly. Shows some balls.
I don't think so. Aaron probably gets free T&E stuff all the time and doesn't strike me as one to pull punches.
Awesome video as always. Like the objective review process. Looks like some tendinitis going on.
Nice video Aaron! Very well done. Now I want one.
Excellent test and review. Thanks for all you do 😎👍👍
I used a Attero Arms mount and installed a 509T RD on a Zastava ZPAP, it makes a nice rig.
I have been a Holosun fan from day one. My first one I got off EBay and it had issues when it would heat up and I called them and they asked for 2 pictures of it and they sent me a new one at no charge and no bullshit
Love getting notifications for a new video from y’all.
With aimpoint releasing new even more expensive optics they should be nervous...holosun is getting better and better with features and quality and the price point is increasing, but definitely not floundering out of control
I've running a Type 2 RM06 on a Glock 19 Gen5 MOS. My optics plate seemed pretty flat on install and I made sure to get the sealing plate kit with the proper screws from Trijicon (it should just come with that IMO) and applied blue loctite. No issues so far, but I'm below 1000 rd at this point with the optic installed. If I could go back and do it again I'd probably just do a direct mount, but I do like having the plates as an option.
If trijicon comes out w an enclosed version of the rmr, the world's gonna sh!t.
We shit alright.. but more over the cost
