- The Holosun 507k, Sig Sauer Romeo Zero, and Swampfox Sentinel M are all very popular compact red dots. In this video we review the three sights side by side comparing and contrasting. While the 507k has the best shroud - the RomeoZero has the best dot - yet the SwampFox has the best button adjustment.

Which optic would you pick for your RMSC cutout?
None that were made in china if I could help it.
Put a 507k on my g48. So far so good. I actually like the 32 moa circle. Haha
The Holosun 507k, hands down. The combination of the robustness of the shroud, the battery tray, and the co-witnessing rear sight just seal the deal for me. I couldn't care less that it's a Chinese brand. If a Chinese company builds the superior product for the money I'm willing to spend, they deserve that money. If an American company wants to innovate and build a micro red dot with the features I want at a price I'm willing to pay, I'll be happy to buy one at some point.
Agree with you austin - make it in China or Antarctica as long as it’s a good piece of gear.
I have the sentienal A and love it
For my Sig P365XL I went with the Holosun 507k because of durability and ease in changing the battery. Great review video!
Already was planning to have my EDC G48 milled by JagerWerks for a HS507K-X2 for exactly the reasons it was your first choice. This review helps confirmation that I am on the right track and made the right choice. Thank You.
shopping for my first red/green dot pistol mounted dot. I found your video honest and helpful. Thanks.
Love the content, man!
I have the auto adjust sentinel on my Canik Elite SC, and I love it! Great conceal carry optic.
Excellent review. Handled the 507 and 509T recently and was impressed. Waiting to run an SRO on a friend's rig before deciding. You're an underrated treasure of info.
Those are all good dots, but in a different size category.
Thank you for the review. Regarding the Holosun , you can cycle through the reticle. Dot, circle dot , and just circle no dot. I have this sight mounted on my G43 clone and love it
As far as the 32moa ring of the 507k, I find that it helps to establish the red dot to your eye quickly. So it's a plus in my book.
Call me crazy but I have been carrying mine using the 32 moa ring with no dot in the middle. I'm faster and just as accurate with it after trying all 3. From 5-10 yards the circle is very easy to pick up and it's not so much going on and overcrowded without the precision dot in the middle but still very easy to place shots wherever you want them.
The quickly aquireable 32MOA by itself is a fast threat based redical. It's simple, move the big 32 moa circle to high center chest, pelvis or eye area of the head and go to work until its no longer a threat to you or those areound you. Try it and see for yourself.
I actually had a hard time specifically trying to find decent reflexes with a circle dot reticle (or similar, like ACSS horseshoe), incidentally these are the ones I'm considering as they offer circle dots. It's not that I don't like a regular dot, but depends on what my setup is, if it's the only optic on an intermediate range gun such as an ar15 I'd rather a dot than circle dot. But for close range on a pistol, shotgun, I like a circle dot, for the reason you mentioned of fast acquisition. Atm I'm planning to put one on a 45* offset on my AR10 to supplement the 4-14 scope, and see how that works out, if I don't like it it'll go on a p365 once I get one. I was going to get the Sig at first, but have seen a lot of negative stuff about it, like the lens scratching easily. Torn between the swampfox and holosun now, I like that the holosun is more durable, but also seems to take up more real estate and have less glass real estate, or at least that appears to be the case without seeing them in person.
That’s what I came to say. You can plink steel at 75 yards even with a compact pistol and the circle helps for quicker acquisition.
I own all the optics listed from Holosun, Sig and Swampfox that you reviewed and I'm a Holosun fan 100x over! I have replaced the majority of pistol, PCC and AR/AK optics with Holosun products. I personally love the circle of death aka 32 MOA for fast target acquisition and the 2 moa dot for precision longer range shots.
"6 moa is the best" ... that's ok, you're allowed to be wrong
Excellent review! You covered the pros and cons to all three. I have several Swampfox optics (Kingslayer, Liberty and justice)sights and have been very pleased with them. On January 25 2022 we picked up a sentinel for the Kimber R7 mako and it has not disappointed. I am curious how long the battery will last and once I remove the optic I will need to sight it in again. I watched your review and decided to try the Holosun 407K X2 6 moa green on my Sig X Macro slide. I love the idea of not having to remove the optic to change the battery and it gives me an opportunity to see what Holosun optics are like. Thank you for your thorough review!
Holosun 507K. I have 3; on my G43X MOS, G48 MOS, and S&W 9EZ Performance Center. Personally love the circle dot reticle option; helps me pick up the "dot" faster. As I get better at draw and acquisition, I may transition to just the dot. Having the option is nice.
excellent, excellent video you covered all of the nuances that we wish we knew prior to buying an item.
For me a red dot with a bottom battery is a no. But my choice is actually the 407K. Same tank class like the 507k, but with 6 MOA dot and cheaper.
Agree all I need is a dot.
Thought the 407k has 3 MOA
6 MOA wayyy to Big, 4 moa would be a great compromise although 3 is about perfect
From all the vids I have seen I would choose the Halosun 507k....Nice vid as love all the info and details of each sight....Good stuff....
Love the Swampfox. After trying it and the Holosun I went with the Sentinel and am very happy with it. It does have the 2032 battery and lasts well.
Great video...concise and informative. One note...the clear sticker on the Romeo zero actually attaches to the slide not the sight per the included instructions (don't judge me for reading instructions)
Awesome video, exactly what i was looking for.
Great review that hit all the key issues. Would like to see a part 2 with more options, including the Crimson Trace.
Extremely helpful video! Thanks
I run a 507C. 2moa dot combined with 32moa circle. The big circle makes it very easy to find your dot if you happen to lose it and just quick shooting at very close range. The 2moa dot provides good accuracy even out to 50yards on my FNX-45 tactical.
The 507c is nice because it has that solar panel on the top and doesn't run on battery if you have some sunlight.
I couldn't get rid of that Romeo zero fast enough. Happy with the 507k.
Me too. Romeo zero sucks imo
I’d be happy with a 407k, if I could find one.
That’s reassuring, considering that I just bought one yesterday.
Yup, sorry Sig. I just dont know how that made it to production. Non waterproof polymer everything, awkward power/brightness button, for $200 and no clicks? Swampfux is slow refresh rate. Strobo dot tracers when moving. Holosun is flawless other than Chinese.
I bought that from the gun shop when I purchased my pistol and asked them to put it on. They had such a hard time putting it on I felt bad for them. Then I got home and was like why can I see the battery underneath of it while im looking at it on my pistol( SA Hellcat). It wasnt all the way down and it looked awful. I hated that it never came on when I presented it at the range the next day. I took it off and took it back. I felt bad because the guys at the shop like got a dremel and cut the screws down for me and everything. I just hated it. They took it back gave me mymoney back so i bought a couple boxes of ammo and a owb holster for it while I was there.
I ordered the sentinel and will be putting the shroud on it.
Love the Holosun circle for fast acquisition and the 2moa dot for precision. I prefer 2” targets; 6 moa obliterates beyond 15 yds.
Not at all man. For practical accuracy I can put headbox shots in at 25 yards with an 8 moa dot . At 50 yards there is no difference due to how imprecise pistol shooting is. 2 moa is a lie about precision - near no one can exploit it - it can be done - but not by me or most.
It's a reflex sight on a pistol with a 3 inch barrel... Not a long scope on a rifle...
@@TheHumbleMarksman not so humble eh?
I like the 32 MOA circle ⭕️ I guess for quick target acquisition and fire I feel like the circle helps. love my 507k on my Hellcat haven’t thought about replacing it
Just bought a Hellcat. If I grind the nubs…will that make the slide unable to use any other red dot in the future? Did you have to order diff size mounting screws or mod the OEM screws to mount the Holosun?
looking at the 507k or eps carry if I can sell something :(. Did you direct mount or use a plate? If plate, how usable is the iron sites...it looks like only the top have visible.
I picked up a Holosun 507k to replace my Sig Romeo based on info in this video, so I came back to sub. The Romeo was so bad I thought pistol red dots in general were the problem. Freaking loving the Holosun now!
Just found this video and proceeded to get a holosun 407k green dot for my hellcat pro. Thanks for the info!
That shout out to Sage Dynamics at 6:40 is just the best 🤣🤣
I may need to subscribe to you just on that alone 👍🏼
I went with the holosun 407k green dot for my p365xl, which is a 6 moa dot. It doesn’t have other reticle options like the 507k but that’s the only difference besides it having the 6 moa dot. Also it’s about $100 cheaper.
Comparison video gets automatic thumbs up.
I’m not surprised with your picks. The Holosun is a great optic, however I have the Swampfox Sentinel on my home defense p365xl. I simply preferred the sight picture of the Swampfox over the Holosun. I don’t have a red dot on my EDC p365.
I'll have a P365XL this week. Already pulled a Holosun 407K off one of my G43X's to use on it. I have 3 more 407K's on order, so Christmas is looking good this year.
Bought a P365xl and picked up the Holosun 507k on recommendation from a friend. Sight is in hand, gun is slowly working its way to me so hope its as good as everyone says.
Good review! Love the Swampfox Green dot on my Canik SC
Great channel thank you Sir💪🏼
I’m loving the Swampfox Liberty on my M&P Compact OR. Definitely loooking at the Sentinal for my p365x
I really like the Holosun. I have its big-brother on my full-size and compacts and, adding to the drama, I really really like the circle with the dot in the middle! Yes i do! I do!!
My 6moa 407k on my g48 has surpassed all my expectations. Solid optic
I just got one myself. I’ve been impressed so far.
Digging my 507k so far...... been an irons guy for over 25 years..... but learning to shoot the red dot sight is a learning curve for sure. Been looking at the Holosun for a little while now. Pretty good sight for the money.
Swampfox Sentinel for me. Thank you for another well done and informative comparison.
Holosun all the way! Hard to compete with battery life and it's side install. Having a hard time trying to figure out which reticle i like. Using the 507k circle only on my P365, 407c dot only on a FN 509c, and the 507c gr circle dot on my SS MR920. Wish the green was more available, def prefer it over red. Gonna be trying a 510 on a rifle soon enough.
Thank you for the video Sir.
Timely video. I've gotta buy a micro dot for a BHP clone I have coming. I have a 407k on a carry gun and like it a bunch but as you point out, you just can't find them anywhere. I've got a few Swampfox optics I've bought on sale and like them OK but I don't have a Sentinel. I like the larger window and availability of the thing vs the Holosun and even tho it's more expensive I'm likely to just go with the Swampfox Sentinel since the BHP will never be a carry gun. Thanks for the great content.
I have the 507K on my edc P365XL and am extremely happy with it. I actually really like the circle dot reticle, I find it makes it easier to acquire the dot fast and I'm more concerned about getting on target fast with a carry gun than anything else. Of course I use a DPP with the 6 MOA dot on my CO/home defense pistol.
the circle is like 3 dot fiber optic sights to me - too much going on to be useful.
@@TheHumbleMarksman when you get to your late 50s with bifocals and astigmatism you will love the circle. Lol
I had the Romeo Zero for on day at the range ,returned , Now a happy owner of 507K -X2 .
I am more interested in the optic clarity of those awesome glasses you’re wearing. 😍😘
Lo and behold, I just received and mounted my HS407K on my Sig P322. Not unobtanium, got it from Brownells (The Holosun, not the P322). For me, the side access battery tray was a must for mounting to an aluminum slide. Don't want to go anywhere near risking stripping those threads with a battery change. I agree that 6MOA is the best dot size for a pistol.
A note on the notch on the rear of the Romeo Zero. If you mount it on a P365XL and use the shroud the rear is too tall and you end up hitting notably higher than POA.
I have found the same issue. I basically have to not see my front sight to use the iron sights.
You gave us enough information to make a choice... it's the Holosun 507 by a mile... Smaller reticle is better... additional reticles... access to the battery is better... construction is better... and the buttons on the side are big enough to easily adjust it, but small enough that they would be bumped and change the reticle. Thank you very much! Great job.
Love my 407k at 6moa. You’re right. That size is perfect for ccw. Have a 2 moa on my classes gun and it’s 2 moa is perfect for running classes.
"Train like you fight."
I actually carry my swampfox sentinel on my Glock 43 with the metal shield on it and it's been serving me well so far
Co witness?
Great information thank you
I picked the swapfox with the shroud for my hellcat. It works amazing. The brightness is always spot on and with its low profile I can still use the factory sights with no issues.
Thanks for sharing. Considering the Sentinal A. Heard good things about this optic. Never knew it was that low profile.
@@douglasphillips24 he just mentioned basic features the 507k also provides
I love the Holosun Circle/Dot. It's fantastic!!
I have the Swampfox and very happy with it. I dont see myself hammering anything with it. Not in the habit of dropping my G48 either. If I am that carless I will just buy another one. Plus it was available before the 507k or I would have gotten that one most likely . Agree the Sig one is junk. I would of thought Sig would of done a better job with it.
I’m picking the Holosun as it’s tough and the battery is a breeze to replace. It will be riding atop my Shield Plus in .30 Super Carry. Great vid. Thanks for sealing the deal. It was between the SwampFox and Holosun for me.
Holosun 407 k for me. I also have a Romeo O siting in a drawer somewhere. I got it with my 365 XL when I bought it carried it for about 9 months, 2 batteries a scratched lens and several zeroing in sessions I said enough. I went with the 407 k ,torqued it to recommend specs and when I went to the range to zero it, it was spot on. I have only changed the battery once because I change them routinely every 6 months especially on My EDC's.
Great comparison video. I started with the Swampfox on my 365XL but replaced it with the Holosun. No regrets. However, I also own a S&W M&P 9 2.0 Performance Center Shield with 4" barrel which comes equipped with a Crimson Trace optic. I haven't swapped it out (yet) but it is auto-adjust only. While it is satisfactory indoors and outdoors on overcast days, it suffers from a badly washed out dot in bright, sunny conditions. I am interested in the Hellcat RDP which comes with the HEX Wasp, also an auto-adjust only optic. I suspect it also will have a washed out dot in bright, sunny conditions. If you would review these two optics (and pistols too) and compare those optics with the three from this video, it would be appreciated.
Auto adjust doesn't work properly, even on $500 Trijicon RMR sights. I don't know if they set the brightness low to boost battery life, but it doesn't matter if it takes 5 seconds to find the too dim dot on a well lit target.
I had the Sig, but could never get it to adjust at all. The Holsun 507k x2 is aweome with the ring around the dot and very easy to use.
I got the 507 because I couldn’t find a 407 but so glad I did because just a dot with my astigmatism is almost unusable lol the circle dot actually looks like it should for me anyways
I agree, 507k x2 all the way
for carry and self defense I se t my 507K on just the ring. way easier to see and if the ring is center mass you will hit target just fine. Not like a self defense distance you need a precise dot. plus the housing is more robust of the sights.
@@leesamuelson I tried all 3 and the circle with no dot is what I settled on for the same reasons you said. Easy and fast to pick up, perfectly accurate 5-15yds, and not so cluttered and crowded in the window without the precision dot there. If you're like me and have astigmatism the dot in the middle of the circle can kind of bloom and make the whole window look very lit up.
@@leesamuelson Fully agree,
I would suggest an edit or note, that the sentinel with the ironsides and canik mounting plate, the tp9 sc stock iron sights just barely co-witness. I love the combo, it is my edc and the iron sights are still usable in a pinch, but it is worth the note that they are less visible
I got a deal on a Romeo Pro with a Foxtrot light for my Echelon. The pair was well under $200 shipped. The Romeo Pro has a metal frame you can use if you fear damaging the unit. The brightness button is inconvenient, but there is a function that allows you to hold it down for 5 seconds and then just tap the frame to choose among 8 brightness settings. Having to take it off to change the battery is a bit of a hassle, but they do last 20,000 hours. The performance is absolutely spectacular, and I prefer it to all of the others in the test.
EEEK! I just ordered the P365 xl with Romeo Zero since it was on sale for same price as pistol alone. I hope I like the red dot. If not, now I know which other ones to turn too. Thank you my good man.
Really do appreciate your honest reviews. Don't know if I missed it because on was riding the stationary bike but did you mention cost of each? Agreed that the Romeo zero has some issues but the cost is more affordable than the Holsun and Swamp Fox. Thanks again! Also I have the Canik TP9 SC so it is limited for optics.
Zero is 200$ everything else is +/- $300
I have a sig p365 xl with the Holosun 507k x2 and I love that sight especially with the sig p365xl.
Just purchased a 507k, love it!
Holosun all day, it has the ideal features at a reasonable price while being robust.
I have the Swampfox on my Shield Plus and so far so good. I'll probably get the Holosun some day when this when breaks. Thanks.
Got my slide milled on my standard p365 and added suppressor height sights from sig. I have the swampfox sentinel on it in green and absolutely love it. 1800 rounds and has held zero the entire time and I've been pretty hard on it because it's my edc. It's tougher then you give it credit for. Id take it over the other 2 in this video. Had the romeo on it for a while and hated it. The glass scratches while you try to adjust the brightness and finding the brightness you want is a bitch because of how it cycles. The buttons on the swampfox are a far superior design. Hope this helps anyone shopping! Plus the price of the sentinel compared to holosun is a no Brainer for what you get.
Having decent luck with my very first red dot, the crimson trace 1550. It came with the pistol new so no angst about which one to buy. now looking for a red dot for a Hellcat.
507k is generally what I would carry over the sentinel. I have both. One on a 43 and the other in a 43x. But I generally carry a 19 with a 407. Don't like the rmr v2 switching to auto.
Agree completely on the adjustments of the Romeo Zero, it’s more of an art than a science.
The holosun won the battery segment by far so honest reviews without playing favourites
Not picking the Holosun for best Battery situation is dumb. 50,000 hrs and side battery box is outstanding.
But a 2032 has nearly 2x the battery life
@@TheHumbleMarksman 5.7years isn't long enough? Chances are in that time a new better product will be the market anyway.
Clear sticker on Romeo Zero goes on the slide not the optic. It keeps oil from getting on the sight plus the Romeo Zero mow comes with a metal hat to help protect it.
he doesnt do much research! Didnt mention the shroud for the sig... probably why he only has 55k subs!!
What'd you expect chris he took the packaging as a factor in the quality of the optic thinking about finding a fine cherry wood case with some weathered brass hinges and latches and taking a shit in it and sending it to him to review guy will probably think it's the best optic he's ever used
I was definitely leaning towards the RomeoZero mounted on a Hellcat Pro, but this video talked me out of it. The 6 MOA is attractive, but the rest of the features just seem like a hassle. Great video!
Is there XL your main ccw now, since it had the 507k mounted?
Do you think the ACSS Vulcan reticle would be good for these things ccw pistols?
just a side note, sage dynamics uses his wrong hand to rack the slide with the holosun. we are not sure if using the correct hand would destroy it.
Would love to see this with red dot optic with a olight rechargeable wall charger someday!
But the batteries literally last for years, and more years if you use the shake awake
Holosun hands down. The battery is a big deal for me. Not only do you not have to re-zero, but not having to remove the sight means you don't have to risk stripping the screws, which is easy to do --- especially if you used a bit too much lock-tite the last time you installed them. Plus, I happen to like the circle and the dot for up close and switching to just a small dot when at a distance.
Good points, Dave!
I have a swamp fox kingslayer. Love it. Love it. Love it.
Love the Holosun optics
Great review. With the Sentinel on the canik tp9 elite SC, do you think the extra mount height from the shroud would interfere with ability to co-witness?
The Holosun 507K would be the best red dot sight for the Springfield XD subcompact 3” 9mm, it’s small with a big window,can be carried CCW and is durable, roughed and reliable I like the MOA circle with a dot reticle. Finally changing the battery is a big advantage
.
I had a very similar debate while choosing between the holosun and swampfox for my 43x. I also chose the holosun. I love em both. As you said….both winners. Excellent review as usual brotherman!! God Bless America and the 2A 🇺🇸
Is the holosun made in China?
@@jefff5842 I believe it is sir. I always try to buy American first. I was referring to being thankful for the 2A.
Good comparisons
Honestly ready to see a TRIJICON RMRCC vs a 507K
I have mainly Holosun 407 and 507's in Green, however I just ordered a Sentinel Green Manual Adjustment to try it out, it mounts directly to my new carry gun without adapter plate G43X/MOS
I just put a sig Romeo zero on my carry pistol about a month or two ago and it came with a metal shroud to protect it. Was easy to adjust also. Maybe they just stepped it up a little. I like it but might get a holosun to replace if I ever upgrade.
I also had no issues with mine on my 365 xl like sure no clicks but the sight adjustment doesn't have any sense of looseness about it feeling of it they definitely used the same polymer and grip texture as the receivers so points for durability if you take a razor blade to it can you scratch into it sure but that anodized metal sight is gonna scratch under identical circumstances and the button on the inside keeps it from getting pushed while inside my waistband plus the things lighter than the plate you take off to mount it but also rocking a sig foxtrot 365 on it just basically said screw it and went with a whole sig set up on it sure the dots always on and battery on the bottom of the optic which reminds me jackass didn't even look at it very well if he thought the sticker was integral to the operation of the sight clearly never looked at a vortex or a trijicon peasant thinks holosun is the epitome of optics and solar panels on optics is perfect for the apocalypse gawk gawk gawk etc. though that trijicon is a bit of a chonky boi running one on my VP9 wouldn't put it on anything smaller but yeah no idk never watched his other videos but I sure hope they're better than this one he barely even tested anything the rest was just watching him do guess work
Love Swampfox, I have many of their optics. plus they have that 30% discount for military.
They didn't fair very well in Sage Dynamics durability testing. Holosun and Trijicon are the only two pistol optics I would consider.

A few people I work with have the Romeo zero simply because that’s what came on their 365xl. After a few months being exposed, the plastic starts to show scratches and the dot looks more like a dot with a line, depending on where you look. Glass is good.
The sig comes with a metal shroud now so I guess they listened to all the complainants about the polymer and decided to give us a way to protect it. If I had to guess the only reason they used the polymer I. The first place was to keep the price down. It’s almost half the price of holosun and swamp fox.
I think I’m going with the Swampfox Sentinel M with the shield for extra protection. Mounting on my SAR 9X slide. Can’t wait‼️💯
I don't have the Swampfox but have numerous Holosuns on multiple weapons and like the durability , reticles and features. One point to consider is that those of us with astigmatism do not play well with red dots. Although I do have a 407A3 in red...the cluster of "dots" is unusable for me in any scenario where accuracy is required. By contrast I have a 507K with green circle dot reticle and the 32mm ring and green color are very usable. Even the 2moa green dot is more definitive with my astigmatism than the equal size red dot. Not sure why...but the green 507K reticle works well for me. In addition, the Holosun circle dot reticle...for me ...is quicker to pick up on a pistol than a singe dot. Especially in a busy or highly contrasted background. So is the ACSS reticle found on the larger 507C Holosuns when the slide is cut for the larger 507C footprint. Any sight that requires removal from the slide to change the battery is a deal breaker for me.
Just started watching. I predict the holosun wins.
Before I get to the end the holosun is the only one I'd carry out of these. For a range I wouldn't scoff at a swampfox. I hope they get to building a more durable optic for carry. They have potential.
Sig optics are made at the holosun factory with cheaper materials. Sig optics can kick rocks in my opinion.
The HE407K-GRX2 is my favorite with a 6 MOA dot but with my stig Im thinking about the 507. I have a Eotech on my AR and I like the choice of rectiles. It helps my old tired eyes aquire the sight picture quicker
Got a 407k green on optics planet for $207 , great optic. Durability with that dummy thick shroud and battery life cant be beat in this catagory and green is the future of dots . Your eyes have more rods that see green than red
While true, you may have more rods and cones in your eyes that pick up green, red is still much easier to pick up than green. However, green sights are much easier to focus with than red, on top of being brighter and having better battery life. Green is the future of sights.
Is it still there ? I need one.

Awesome thank you
My slide has RMR cut and considering the 507C, as it has the dot AND the dot inside circle and has same mount footprint of RMR.
How does Sentinel compare to the 507C? Is it same footprint screw pattern as well or require a plate?
Sounds like the Holosun 407k is the way to go, with its 6moa dot. You mentioned you would prefer it, except for availability issues. Probably more popular than they anticipated, and with current world conditions, hard to get anything produced. 2 years ago I never would have imagined that reflex optics would be "standard" for carry guns, now I'm rethinking that, and optics ready is looking like a "must have" for my next carry gun. Thanks for the video review!
Just picked one up at vance outdoors for 219.00 thrilled.
Is an adjustable MOA a thing? Seems we've long had the technology to adjust the size of a measly projected dot
How bad is the crimson trace? I feel like they have the gold standard for lasers but seeing it come on a sccy as well as s&w performance center is confusing!
No contest it's the holosun good video keep them coming.
