I do not like the size of the bezel on that optic. Not sure if the reticle options would be enough to sway me to try the optic or not. Although it does intrigue me to have options for a reticle. It’s super easy to smudge the glass if you’re charging your gun with the optic face. The glass also sits very close to the front of the frame.

Thank you. im still kind of lost why they went with all this complexity instead of a few simple large dots..maybe we will see more versions in the future.

mandiesel Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Underwhelmed with the reticle selection.. Hope they make some changes in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I was able to pick up a few 507 comps (green) this weekend from a LGS, got them mounted up and sighted in and will be shooting a match this weekend with it, so far really impressed I like the dot and 8 MOA circle so far. Will try other combos this weekend tho. 3 LGS had the optics in stock over the weekend, most shops had the red, only 1 shop had the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to swap on the fly worked out well for me this weekend. Used 3 different combos: - 2moa dot + 20 moa circle for “hosey” stages. Just like a rifle optic, the larger circle lets you see the dot approaching where you want it to be more easily. - 2moa dot + 8moa circle for most of the stages. Looks basically just like a big single dot at typical intensities - 2moa dot only for a stage that had tons of 25yd partials. I really like the optic and think the reticle options were pretty well thought out (though I don’t see a need for the 32moa circle - it’s just too big).

I wonder if that will ever be considered a violation of 5.1.7 Competitors must use the same firearm and type of sights for all courses of fire in a match.

I wonder if that will ever be considered a violation of 5.1.7 Competitors must use the same firearm and type of sights for all courses of fire in a match. 5.1.3.2 is quite generic in the definition of optical/electronic sight. Just needs a battery. 5.1.3.3 leaves some wiggle room to further define. Slippery slope though. Broke your red fiber optic and can only bum a green from someone… nah. 5.1.7 violation. Sun in your face… occlude your dot lens… 5.1.7 violation. I think the intent of 5.1.7 is just to prevent a swap between “open” sights and “optical sights”. But it is something that could stand to be clarified. Tons of folks running other Holosuns that have the ability.

I would never have even thought that different reticles in the same sight would be an issue but if they wanted to take it to that level of stupid, then you shouldn't be able to change the intensity of the dot either. Sights with different reticles such as EOTECHs have been used on PCC's since its inception so I don't see why it would be an issue on a pistol Edited June 27, 2023 by AKJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoNick Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 After playing with a buddies 507 comp in green over the weekend I want one. The 8 MOA ring by itself is much more crisp to my eyes than the 5 MOA dot on my SRO. Now only to find one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotI Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I was lucky to find 2 at Brownells before they sold out…pissed that I never received a “back in stock” notification. I was just lucky to be there at the right time. as others mentioned I like the 8MOA circle so far, but I’ll play with it with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whan Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Just got my green 507comp in. Will live-fire this weekend, but didn’t end up liking the 8moa circle (either with or without 2moa dot) nearly as much as I would have thought. I’m coming from a 5moa SRO, and at least in dryfire found the 8moa circle a bit imprecise in use - perhaps 8moa is just a bit too big for my taste (though I have no problem with the 6moa green dot on my CCW with EPS Carry). The 8moa circle also feels slightly distracting and tends to draw my focus, even with the center 2moa dot I perceive it as a circle/dot combo vs just an 8moa dot If anything I was surprised how much I liked the 2moa dot option, coming from running mostly 5-6moa dots previously. My eyes pick up green quite a bit better than red (hence why I bought the holosun to try), and have no issue picking up the dot despite small size. Also if run on a slightly higher brightness it really feels more like 3.5moa or so. Separately, I’m impressed with how bright the optic gets. My older 510c green doesn’t come close, comparing 2moa vs 2moa at least Edited June 28, 2023 by whan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had multiple distributors post on social media that they have gotten a small shipment of the red dots, but they are not sending the in-stock notification emails I've signed up for. By the time I see the social media post, they are sold out. If I were to get the actual notification I signed up for, I probably would have gotten one weeks ago at this point. I ended up getting an SRO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Stoeger Pro shop for the green via a social media post. A red from a stock notification at Rifle Gear. A red from a backorder at midway. Took about 10-12 days to fulfill. Good timing on my part.

Those website in-stock notifications are typically cron jobs that run periodically. If the cycle period is too long, say once every hour, the item goes in and out of stock before the job runs it never sees the item as in-stock and the emails don't go out. It's not typically a push notification, at least not in my experience. If you want to get something that sells out fast you'll have to use a website tracker that checks every few minutes.

I may have to try this on my old SP01 Shadow after seeing how it looks on your S2. it looks like the deck on the optic is pretty low also. Looks nice!
