IDAHOAASHOOTER Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So, to be blunt I really like this dot. I didn't get a chance to sight it in before the match so I showed up early, found zero, drew from the holster a few times and went to the shooters meeting. I don't have the best eyes, so the larger dot window makes a huge difference. I tried the circle and dot the first few stages, (granted this was an outlaw match and all steel except for one classifiers. ) It was a little goofy so I went to just the dot. I could draw and aquire much faster than my rts2. First shots were considerably faster, I didn't feel as slow on transition from Target to Target I never caught myself over running targets in transition. It was absolute s#!t weather low 30's and windy, but I wanted to get out and try this new optic. I have to say from the perspective of a very low B shooter I liked it and will be sticking with it!

bigbob21 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Sounds good to me... I have one coming in this week.I normally run a deltapoint and am getting frustrated with the 2 moa... I could’ve sworn it was a good dot when I got it a year ago... but right now I feel like it’s lost its brightness? If that’s even possible...I peeked at a friends rts2 yesterday and it was literally double the brightness of my deltapoint... (it was a 6moa though)Looking forward to running the 510 soon.Thanks for your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) @bigbob21 batteries matter more than you think. Does it have a quality name brand battery in it, and is it new? Edited February 25, 2019 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbob21 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 [mention=62101]bigbob21[/mention] batteries matter more than you think. Does it have a quality name brand battery in it, and is it new? @memphismechanicYea I thought it might be battery related...Maybe it’s bc I took winter off, but once I started practicing and shooting again in January I noticed the dot was hard to see... it’s not the weather, as it’s pretty much always sunny in Texas.Changed batteries twice in the past two months with energizers... I just chalked it up to maybe my eyes. Me wanting the 510 was irrespective of my recent concerns tho.Had be interested in the bigger window size and finally decided to try it.

Aircooled6racer Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hello: You are not the first with the DPP getting dimmer. You will like the Holosun 510C. Just remove the cover to make it lighter. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k1llapanda Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 i love my 510c on my pcc. when they first started getting cool i got one on my open gun using the tevo single sided mount and i loved it. dot was easy to find, and i didn't mind the size. i would only use the dot tho. unlessss i shot weak hand, then i would use "eotech" reticle. after about a month on my 38SC open gun, it completely died. holosun did warranty it out quick and painless tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this a while back and freaked out before I figured it out. The DPP is one of the most intense dots I’ve ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odesláno z mého ONEPLUS A3003 pomocí Tapatalk I was certainly concerned about the dot being to small, but as you extend your arms the reticle gets larger and brighter. If you leave it on the circle/dot reticle you will notice it ALOT more from when you first draw u til your at full arms length. Not as noticeable with just the center dot on the screen.

B_Seehawer Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Handled an Atlas with a 510c on it today, dot seemed nice and wasn’t as unsightly huge as it seemed in some of the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Does anyone have a photo that compares the 510c to an upright slideride and a RTS2 from the back to better visualize the height of the optic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbob21 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Looks to be very close to the same ride height...I don’t have an rts2... but I have a dpp and currently installing my new 510 right now. My dpp is .48” and my 510 is .5” without mounting plates or mounts, etc... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetAwayDriva Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I had ejection issues. The back end of the optic was dinged up from brass hitting and getting flicked back in to the ejection port. I tried moving the scope mount forward one screw hole so that I was only using 4 of the 5 mount screws. No ejection issues after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDAHOAASHOOTER Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 I've seen some very light marks on the very corner of mine. Hasn't caused any issues, I'm about 650 RD's in now. Hopefully stays that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
