Huh, me too. When I punch in Holosun in Duckduckgo it gives me a dead link.
Welp, the one you gave works and I will bookmark it, thank you kindly sir.
I am quite interested in putting a 515g on the NYGF build and I have come to believe the merits of the Holosun product are beyond the price point. Though the 515 series is not particularly cheap.
The Holosun competitor to the Aimpoint ARCO is also appealing.
I will most likely be getting a 509 once KE Arms comes out with their RMR to 509 plate and. Well maybe not right as they do since my RMR works perfect and switching over to the 509 is more of a just want than need
And on topic a 407k/507k really has me considering snagging up a g43 for a grab and go sweat pants gun
At this point they would have to come with something absolutely amazing. Pretty much most of the big names in MRDS on handguns have already decided holosun is on par with Trijicon.
I know Aaron Crowen has said 50% of the time his guns are running RMRs the other 50% its holosun.
And I know Steve Fisher is all about holosun as well
Holosun gained a good reputation with the durability and price of the optics they manufactured for Primary Arms and now under their own brand they have added extra features on. While I have been leary of adding a Chinese built optic onto my rifles for both patriotic and quality concerns I have seen more than enough data to suggest bullet proof reliability and durabilty for even serious use. My only problem is the impenetrable nomenclature of their products. That said their company moto of "your next optic" is very apt in my case.
I am trying to find out how much their 530, 30mm series weighs vs their 20mm 515 series and if tge extra FOV would be worth it. The 515 is already on the high side for red dot weight, but I'll take it for the extra strudy construction and the built in clear lens covers. I also like the idea of the circle dot reticle, seems like a convenient hold under index for HD distances.
Oh trust me I am an RMR fan i still think they are top but it's a marginal lead, the gen 2 507/508 look better and I wanted an ACRO until the 509 and hope KE arms comes out with an RMR to 509 adapter plate and I'll maybe scoop one up
I run the 507C and the 507C-GR on my carry guns, which are also my class/teaching/practice guns.
Awesome product. They really got it going on. 1/3 of the price of an RMR, and just as durable.

Mounted a 507c on my G19 with a one-piece dovetail plate (since I don't have a milled slide). I mostly use the 2 MOA dot, so I could have gone with the 407c. I really like the optic. It makes acquiring follow-up shots much faster for me.
Can't wait to give it a workout at a course this weekend.
I'm now looking for a G19 gen4 milled slide.
I have one for sale.
