      Would the c series work with a regular stock Glock 19?

    • @patriotfirst
      @patriotfirst 11 місяців тому

      Which one if any would have the least overhang and fill in all the gaps. I guess what I'm asking is which of the 3 would look the cleanest. Thanks for the help. I also noticed that some of them required different screws that are currently out of stock, any idea when they will be back in stock for the echelon

    As others have commented, this video explains Holosun's product lineup Far more clearly and concisely than their own website and marketing materials. I've been considering buying a Holosun for months and have struggled to know which was right for me up until watching this video. Just became your customer! Looking forward to that sweet 509T arriving in the mail.

    I most genuinely cannot accurately express via comment how much I appreciate your vid--My wife & I have been 'researching' (ie; Googling shit) pistol red dots for our pair of G19s. I'm 20+ yrs extensive experience w/ firearms, & her, abt 5 now, under my guidance. But neither of us know about pistol red dots...carbines, sure...pistols, nope.
    You did a damn good job explaining the ins & outs of Holosun red dots in easily understood detail. My dear wife says a huge thank you for clear explanations, & I'm thrilled you gave a more technical description when necessary--thanks.
    Subbed--You earned it.

    Bless you my son, you are a god. I just spent 2 hours on Holosun's site trying to figure out that which you have beautifully summarized. That site is a nightmare to use. You explained everything clearly and then are providing us with a sheet to really decide what fits our needs best. I appreciate the link and will purchase through you. I think you should apply to Holosun for a job or sell them your comparison sheet.
    I do have a question though. What happened to the Vulcan reticle? It was like an instant trainer to really improve one's muscle memory

    Was curious about the vulcan acss in green, but looks like you addressed that in the comments below.
    I don't see any mention of the gold reticle?
    Is this only available in the larger rifle optic eg. the HE512CGD? Any thoughts on whether this will be offered in the smaller pistol optics?
    I have an astigmatism and have found green is easier to see than the red dots, and am curious if gold/yellow reticle improves on that.
