510C (green) @ $290 a good buy?

[balmo]

Decided that my next gun is a new PCC where my current will be relegated to being backup. Is Holosun 510C Green Dot a good buy at $290? Optics Planet and Primary Arms have it at the same price.

 

Thanks

You can beat that by a good margin by getting the Enos discount activated on a login over at Shooters Connection, and ordering through them.

Yeah I got mine a couple of weeks ago before Xmas sales season for cheaper than $290 from optics planet. There are better deals to be had right now.

Hello: The green seem to cost a little more than the red ones for some reason? I have used both and prefer the red over the green. You may want to look through both if you can. Thanks, Eric

I bought from there multiple times - no problems

I got an email from a Prince in Iran who vouched for them. He’s sending me $10,000 via money order right now.

MVO is a drop-shipped for a wholesaler like RSR. Same with Lanbo's Armory, etc. They're fine, but expect 7-10 days to get your stuff. 

 

I picked up my 3rd 510c for $200.70 + $15 shipping from Gun2Ammo. 

 

I like green reticles EXCEPT that I run a CMR-206 (green) laser, and I want the separation.

If your cmr is at the 12 oclock position, do you need a riser to see over the cmr with the 510c? I’m using a cmr at 12 oclock now, with a mro on a 1/3 mount and it’s no issue. I bought the 510c to try and waiting on it’s arrival. Bought it from shooterconnection today at 8am had shipping info by 10am.

510c is also a 1/3 co-witness, so it should be no issue. I don't like 12 o'clock since it can partially block my view if I don't get a good cheek weld. 

[longbeard]

If you aren't running an offset red dot I recommend moving your laser to this position.  Plenty of room behind the 510c for this.  Makes a decent poor man's offset optic and you can roll the gun when need be for tight shots within 10 yards or so.

I don't see the problem with drop ship - I bought a part from PSA that was in stock and it took 7 days for them just to ship it + another 6 days for it to arrive 

[Acer2428]

Not an issue, just explaining what they are since someone asked about experiences. They're a no-frills drop-shipper, but are g2g. Just don't expect LGS/retail type service and you'll be fine. That said, OF the several drop-shippers I've bought from, they are the slowest by a few days on the order to ship time frame. 

 

ETA: Look at Optics Planet for the green ones. They go on sale for $250-$260 w/ free shipping. Was somewhere in the $260's the other day.

Being colorblind......I've always gravitated towards green. That is until I purchased a 510C with the red circle/dot. WOW......I can pick that up with ease. The trick is not use use auto mode. I use manual mode and adjust the brightness myself depending on the time of day and sunny/cloudy. 

 

And yes, the 510C in green will be more expensive than in red
