- In this video I go over the Holosun 507C X2. I talk about the features, how they are applicable to operations and things I am not so fond of.
The audio is a little pitchy on this video. 🙏

![Holosun 507K & 507C Comparison [Plus Green Dot]](/img/n.gif)
This guy takes money from the Holosun Chinese Communist just like Joe Biden. A real patriot he is….sticking a knife in the back of our domestic weapons suppliers like Trijicon.
Everything you own is Chinese even the phone you typed that with. 😂 Ignorance is bliss.
@@frogmantactical this. these people are such clowns.
Absolutely every electronic component in the "American made" Trijicon is built by the chi-coms.

@@frogmantacticalI say the SAME EXACT thing you had sad lol people just don't get it. Bravo!
I bought this exact model red dot because of this video and I’ll say I think it is better than the RMR for the simple fact that I don’t have to take the entire red dot off of the gun to change the battery and then resight it in. Huge benefit that I think is overlooked and under appreciated
The Best review I’ve seen on the 507C X2 and educational. You sir provided additional in others didn’t cover. I like the fact you clarified the “made in China” issue & history. I own 3 optics from Holosun and they work great. Holosun customer service is excellent also. For the price point I couldn’t ask for more. You got my 👍🏻 and my subscription & referral 😎
Holy smokes, I am digging the honesty and grittiness. Imma subscribe, just based off of that alone. Also, I have 5 variations of the MRDS optics from Holosun. They're well made, affordable, and are allowed for duty use.
I got the 407c x2 the other day because of price. Real nice optic, good reviews. Solid. Thanks
I’m glad you found one that works for you. I just recently needed to get stronger prescription for my eyes. I have the Trijicon RM06 and this exact model, and in my opinion, they both work great. It’s definitely all with overall marksmanship.
Thank you for this review, cant wait to see how it holds up for you in testing. 🤙🏼
Love and appreciate your honesty. Subscribed asap! Finally a lefty who knows the struggles in a righthanded world.....
I had my gen 3 G19 slide milled by ATEi for my RMR. I've since changed the battery twice and have not needed to re-zero. I love the RMR. Having said that, I recently met someone at the range with HOLOSUN 507C-X2 ACSS Vulcan. Now I want one. With the RMR, if I'm squared up I will always find the dot. But one handed, leaning on an object, on my rear - then I may have to fish a little. This reticle is very interesting.
Jason hit every nail on the head with this review. I, too, got sucked into the lore of, "if it ain't Merican', it's shit!" while we watch a Trijicon RMR review on our Chinese phones. I picked up a HS507C-X2 Green off a Marketplace steal for brand new and proceeded to absolutely obliterate a 30 yard IPSC silhouette with the hostage target the size of my hand - doling out lasers and flipping it back and forth with a Boogeyman Customs LaLlorona G22 build that I built just to make the 9MM fanboys squirm. Chinese or what, this optic SLAPS, period. Don't forget, you might have $40,000 pano NVG's but you'll still get smoked in the Boogaloo by a dude with good cardio and a SKS with open sights who's been shooting that gun at the local gamelands since 2004.
As always great information big dawg God Bless you too
Thx 🐸 man 😊appreciate your time explaining,
i've been running the407c green. so far i like it. i haven't had it out at any rough trainings yet though....only shot at indoor range.
I love my 507c Gr acss vulcan reticle. One thing you didn't bring up that I've wondered about is the durability of the solar panel. If that baby takes a well placed impact what will the collateral damage be to the optic as a whole. So far I kinda like the auto brightness feature, but I will admit I haven't tried using one locked setting. Your right about going through your house and getting rid of everything not made in the U.S. You'd be naked as a jay bird sitting in an empty house. I look forward to your videos, thanks.
No it won't. It's covered by impact glass. You can drop it and throw it and it's not going to break. You'd have to purposefully smash it.
I have had an RMR for year's. I have changed the battery twice. The impact shift was zero to minimal. That being said, I have been thinking about the Holosun. I like the battery tray and the solar idea and have zero issues with holosun aimpoint style dots on ARs
Just got one and fired some rounds with it. I'm glad I bought it. My only issue is with the auto brightness. I tried it in a low light setting and it works great until YOU are the one in the light trying to shoot something in a low lit area. The reticle gets too bright, and blocks out what you're aiming at. So I'm fine with a low-mid brightness setting. Other than that, I think it's a good buy
I just bought the HE (Elite) 407c x2 green 2moa dot mainly because it was on sale & cheaper than the others at $225 on Optics Planet (battery came pre-installed, with long, med & short screws) & I have a astigmatism.
Love the auto dimming & Brightness, shake a wake, etc.
I mounted it straight to $179 Dagger SW4 GatorMouth cut RMR milled Complete Slide for my G19X frame 🤟
Runs great. Just swapped out the backplates
I bought the 507k X2 a year ago, the smaller model, and concur with everything you mentioned. The 507k doesn't have solar or other features, and it requires a modified RMR plate. I find level 5/6 to be best as well, otherwise the brightness overwhelms or gets lost against the target. Age too has affected my eyes, hence my new attraction to red dots over iron sights. I do find green easier on the eyes, especially outdoors. As you mentioned just easier to pick up. For me, the red setting tends to get lost against outdoor backgrounds. I do prefer the 32MOA over the 2MOA, - old eyes and I do not think it likely that I will need to engage targets much beyond 30 yards with a compact 9mm. The combo 32+2MOA is definitely information overload on the brain.
Love my Holosun HS407K-X2
The 6 MOA Dot is better for my bad eyesight and I can turn it down brightness wise for a crisp sight.
Being a direct fit for my P365xl was a good thing as well.
I'm 2yrs in and 15,000rds on my G19 with a gen 1 507c using the RMR footprint. I will say that the older ones need the RMR SS base plate. I ran the same gun at a class in central CA that you taught for my group. Hope to see you in the range again soon man. Tonay says "hi".
Jason is a great guy. Trained with him a while back.
You are correct, the footprint is the same for the RMR and a lot of the holoson optics. I’ve recently switched to mostly holosons as well.
this is a solid breakdown thank you sir! i recently picked one of these up I love it! I can sympathize with complaints that the auto feature tends to make the reticle too dim so i run it in manual mode. Looking into to it apparently the solar feature only works in auto mode which is a bummer, don't know if it's a limitation of the hardware or a design choice.
I love my holosun I have 3 of them and they have been rock solid for years .
Thanks for the info, i got one of those sights and was running the dot and the reticle. Seemed way to busy, was concerned that the dot alone was too small at 2 moa. but honestly its really bright so works well. 2moa on this optic is just fine.
Love holosun 507cx2 it's on my Gen5 glock17. The fact it doesnt lose zero when changing battery & it's on a side window and NOT underneath is solid. I'm not leo or military but you videos seem to be informative for all. Have learned from tactical videos too. Knives are just what I'm looking for in a fixed blade btw
Did you send your slide off or order one? I have a gen 5 g17 but I’m looking to get a green dot on my fn 509
@@IskateUphillHe probably has the MOS. I have a Gen 5 19 MOS but if you got the one that wasn't optic ready, you either have to pay new gun price for a new slide or have someone mill it.
@@GhostOperator91 I ended up getting the Vulcan on my fn509. I’ll probably just upgrade irons one of these days for the Glock
@@IskateUphill I use the suppressor height R3D tritium sights by XS sights. They're nice as hell.
I got a 507 c x2 as well and i love it took some getting used to , but now thst i train with it and put tounds on it it helps me get shots on target fster than irons .
I have one on my SS MR920 and love it.
Holosun Optics have really been super solid . The 509T-ACSS is my favorite optic for Pistols or top Hat mount on Carbine .
The only reason why RMR is so good is the design patent . That's why they are so rugged and durable .
Holosun Red dots are the only dots I use for the most part . I do have 1 RMR . I definitely favor the doughnut of death reticles and ACSS .
Yeah I've never understood those idiots that say I only buy Made in USA . Yet they are rocking Made in China Phone , TV , and Laptop .
That NIB blade looks pretty awesome bro . I've never seen 1095 blade with that type of coating ..
And those same people drive Asian trucks or cars (Tacomas and Civics).
Funny enought Eotechs, Aimpoint and all get their metal housings from china lol.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ I have no clue about that or not . I would think itz 7075 T6 Aluminum. That can be forged from any big forger
Also, RMR is open emitter while 509T is enclosed emitter.
@@OrganicHispanic209 Japanese cars but manufactured in the USA.
There are some eye exercises you can do to increase your visual acuity, even you don't have "young" eyes. Look up some videos- the exercises can yield results in a few weeks and it's worth the time. Thanks for the review, this helped me get off the fence for my next optic
Hell of good video!!!
I actually really enjoy the auto brightness setting! I feel like for me, if I set it to a 7 or 6 brightness, it either works great outside but too damn bright once inside, and then works great inside but too dim outside. So I personally run this optic in auto, so far has been working out great for me!
Stand 10 feet away from a door in the dark ,aim your sight at thatdoor turn ur flash light on and see how with auto brightness that light at the door makes the holographic completely disappear
I been riding with Hilo son since the HS525GM, all the options are amazing I have 2. They changed the game and unquestionably reliable. Offer more value than other expensive brands. Holosun isn’t cheap anymore, it’s an established brand now. Expect to pay 60-80% of Trijicon and Leupold. Can’t go wrong either way.
I must say I agree with 98 % of what you said. Great video bud !
Solid Optic customer service is outstanding no questions asked
I quit caring where a piece of equipment comes from the day in 1967 when we were being overrun at Cam Hieu, Vietnam and I picked up a battle field AK to keep fighting.
I agree with you on the USA/China issue, just believe it's a shame we can't or won"t produce more products here.
Years ago on TV there used to be a commercial that said look for the Union label buy American. People bitched it was too expensive. Fast-forward here we are today Chinese junk.
I got my first red dot, a Holosun 507c for my Taurus G3c which is having it's slide milled for the sight.
I have the newest chevron model and it's completely amazing is just like looking through a acog.
Have the 507cx2 on my Elite SC love it.
I also love the shake wake on this I did watch your zero video and this is going to be my edc so I'm thinking of front sight slaving the dot your opion and semper fi
I do not recommend slaving the dot to the front sight. You want the dot to be it’s own separate aiming point. If you’re slacking to the front sight, you might as well keep your irons
Dot alone on my 509T I have a hard time seeing and finding. The circle and dot for me makes getting the sight on target much faster.
Nice video👍🏻
The solar cell augments the battery life too. As far as I know the only time the battery kicks on is when the solar isn't strong enough to operate the unit
great video
Awesome Review love Holosun. Also whats the CC IWB holster in the thumbnail? Looks super nice.
LAO Performance 🙏
@@frogmantactical thank you sir, appreciate your response.
Nice! My G26 has a Vortex Venom on it.
I ditched the Vortex Viper after 6 years of service for this optic. The biggest issues with the Vortex is that it has manual locking screws that sit in front of the irons so you have to remove the dot to try and zero it or replace the battery, not to mention the adjustment screws are trash. It holds zero but getting it zeroed is a nightmare.
My brother do you happen to own the new holosun scs? Love the content sir!
Also I removed my rmr and changed battery zero maintained the same it all depends on how snug your cut or optic plate is
Are you going to check out the eotech when it comes out? From the vids I saw it doesn’t have any blueing on the window. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to review it for us!
I rarely keep up with these things. I didn’t even know EoTech was creating one but we will definitely do that. 🙏
Sir what do you think about ZERO COMPROMISE Optics scope? Where are they made & how great are they?
What holster do you use with that setup? I have a comp on mine and need an open end holster so it can fit.
I can verify it fits Rmr cut slides I have a brownells Rmr slide on my g19 gen 4 and the holosun hs507c x2 went right on no issues
I might have missed it but the knife you're wearing on your belt what is that one and why are you carrying it?? it's a very odd shaped blade thank you
100% Brother!!
So, when you lock the optic, the auto on/off doesn't work right? Just stays on?
My 507xc on a Shadow Systems RX920 failed. Changed battery and still failed. Got to send it back to Holosun and it will be at least 30 days.
So does the x2 or v2 have the battery on the side? Getting conflicting info
If you need a knife for personal protection in concealed carry that you can absolutely trust your life on, then T Kell Knives designs exactly what your looking for! And the best part is you don't need to have any special training or skills to use, but if you have training you know what you can do!
Frogman is my generation and he is speaking the truth, knows his stuff, been there done that brother! Truth is a MFer sometimes people, if you can’t handle truth, go somewhere else and post your stupid comments elsewhere.
Thank you 🐸man!
I wish holosun would make a model with bigger glass. If the new Swampfox justice had clicks for the adjustments, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But, I've got be 407C on my Walther PDP, and it's good enough.
I have an astigmatism, so I may end up trying a green dot to see if I can see it without the lightening bolts coming off of the dot.
Your wishes have been answer, 507Comp.
your comments about products made in china so true... people like to pick and choose what they like from china
Do you carry the 507 or RMR?
Did you slave it to the front sight post or would you suggest it I have one I am going to mount to a mr920l which they say will cowittness or would you do a 15 yard zero
15 yard zero. But start with a laser bore sight first to get it really close and then take it to the range and make the remaining adjustments. Slaving it to your front sight will cause height over bore to be way off. And even then, these optics require you to learn height over bore at close range and long range so you can account for every round.
I'm currently in the market for a red dot for my Springfield Ronin 9 mm 1911 and the 507k is what the gunsmith is recommending just wondering if you knew if the 507k and the 507c had the same footprint thank you. Great review
I believe the 507k is smaller than the 507c
507k is indeed a smaller footprint it was recommended because the slim profile
The holosun 508t is every bit as durable as the rmr due to the square hood and titanium construction sage dynamics did a review on it
We cannot buy red dot in South Africa, it is too expensive.
Love your videos - greetings from South Africa.
Nice one
I just bought the Holosun 507c x2 acss. Currently, my glock 23 has night sight from Ameriglo. It has an orange circle with a green dot that lights up at night. The Holosun 507c that I bought is a red dot sight. My question is, should I remove the ameriglo front sight and replace it with a regular black front sight with no night sight dot? Would having the ameriglo front night sight with the green dot throw off the holosun red dot sight?
I’ve never ran that combo however I like the Ameriglo. The only issue I had with them is once the barrel heats up it will melt the fiber out of the front sight.
I run straight black front and back personally.
Train with it and see how you like it.
What holster is that in your thumbnail of the video?
You know what if I can buy American made I will. Having said that I am not going to not get something I need cause of where it was made?
Facts
What pistol was mounted on? Did I miss it somewhere?
I just want to know where your holster came from

Tell them you saw it here. 🙏
There are only 3 places for optics glass, Zeiss (German) and Nikon (Japanese) own the market for optics glass. The only scope I know of that has american made glass is the Vortex AMG
China invented gunpowder, just saying.
who makes that iwb holster?
Is the Vulcan reticle better for those with poor eyesight ? I need the largest dot available
I really like the Vulcan but I’d go to a store and look for yourself just to be sure. 🙏
@@frogmantactical thank you sir
It's 50000 battery life on setting 6 its 100000 if u have it on solar automatic and u can only see that in absolute perfect conditions thats y Ihave the rmr and 507c and i prefer the rmr I like having mine set on automatic i dont like having to hit the button to change brightness depending on the conditions and for my eyes the rmrs automatic brightness is always perfect or a level to bright and I'd rather have it to bright then not bright enough don't get me wrong I like the 507c and the 508t and wouldn't hesitate to use um just perfer the rmr
If I could spell "purchase"" I could talk fancy just like him but I'm still BUYING stuff!

@@frogmantactical rad. Thank you for the response!
I have a brand new 507c that has only been on my Glock for 200 rounds, it’s been about a month or 2 and I’ve replaced the battery twice because of failure. I only have it on the recommended brightness or a little more when outside. Just replaced the battery yesterday and it’s already dead today. Piece of shit is broken, BRAND NEW.
Contact them and send it back. They should replace it. Sometimes that happens. Nothing is perfect.
My opinion on the Chinese products… I’m not upset at the Chinese, I’m more upset that American made items aren’t made at the same quality, for the same features, for the same price.
“AmEriCaN iS mAdE bEtTeR. ThAtS wHy yOu pAy mOrE.” Ok… but as the end user, made “better” does me no good if I can’t afford it. That’s a poor excuse for not wanting to compete price wise.
Holosun is currently wiping the floor with Trijicon’s face. And if trijicon or any other American made optic wants to step their game up, they’ll need to maintain their quality, at a lower price point.
Sure, American made would be cool. But it isn’t cool enough to me to spend another $200 more for. I’ll gladly stick with my Holosun 😂
I guess there’s hope for me with my screwed up eyeballs.
You got a Holosun HS507C-X2 but didn’t get the ACSS® Vulcan® Reticle? The Vulcan Reticle is truly a game changer. Maybe you can send that one back
Agree, the Vulcan is badass. Got one in green and love it.
Honestly I don’t study what’s out there. Until you said it I had no idea they had a chevron, however looking at it, it seems dominate abs I’m going to get one 😂. Thank you. 🙏

Great content n it's unfortunate we have everything these days made in China but it's reality that they wrk for less and can live and survive happily over there meanwhile here we wrk for so little and and!!!! Everything's price keeps increasing, so of course we not gonna wrk for the few dollars the Chinese do it for we just have to accept it and hopefully the government can make the changes that allow us to happily buy and live off all American made products and supplies till then if a country does it better and for less I can't complain or hate on em we should be thanking them
You gonna sell your RmR?!?
Is it a made in the USA only argument or is it a made in China argument? I laugh because some will say the Aimpoint is great(and they are) but they will make an exception to their made in the USA if they feel a product is better, or more expensive.
I get it, I too wish there was more USA products. But this is a very different world we live in compared to 20-30 years ago.
I have plenty of EOTECH’s and Trijicon’s but I also have Primary Arms and Holosun products. So far in the last 10 years they all have worked.
Yep. And we are going to change to American made stuff. Those days are over. It will never happen again. 🙏
@@frogmantactical
Completely agree.
I was in the automotive industry for the last 25 years. Even Ford, GM and Chrysler/Dodge haven’t been American made for over 20 years now.
If its from China I will put it back on the shelf. Thanks for letting us know.
Anyone else not able to change video resolution when watching gun videos?
Leupold is 100% made here I believe.
What's crazy is that, sure we'll all accept China products will be cheaper than US made products, but companies like Holosun are innovating leaps and bounds about American companies (ex. Leupold). That was our domain.
Leupold glass is engineered in America, made in China, QC'd, brought back to America and assembled in America.

Isn’t it interesting as to how Americans look at our past and slavery, and yet we’re still willing to support it. Even though most of us have absolutely NO say in it.
It is truly a shame that this country is as young as it is and became the greatest country in the world over night, in terms of how old civilization is, and it’s falling just as fast. All because some politicians and business folks are willing to take American ingenuity out of this country for ultra cheap labor. Only to bring it right back for us to purchase. Don’t get me wrong, I’m for world trade. But I much prefer the thought of trading needed natural resources and the ingenuity of others.
Evil has been able to master the manipulation of mankind of several thousand years so naturally the time it takes in newer civilizations will decrease each time. 🙏
