I hadn't been following new products lately, I see there is a Holosun 507k in green dot now - damn. I have a Holosun 510c (green dot) on a rifle and it is niceeee.
I was thinking of picking up a Taurus TX22 Competition (optic ready) when I can find a deal (ha), guess I could move the red dot to that and put the green on the 365XL.

510 is more for rifles, 407/507 for standard pistols, and 507k is for single stacks like the glock 43.I hadn't been following new products lately, I see there is a Holosun 507k in green dot now - damn. I have a Holosun 510c (green dot) on a rifle and it is niceeee.

Yes, I was just pointing out that my rifle dot is green which I prefer over the red. I have a slight astigmatism (went for a LASIK appt and they said my vision didn't warrant surgery, though I wear corrective lenses for sharpness), and the green is almost completely crisp compared to the red. At least to my eyes (could also be slightly better glass in the HE510C-GR..

Copy that, green is typically easier for the eyes to pick up over red, but red is easier on our natural night vision. I just went to eye doc today and my prescription increased a fair bit (had to be no less than 6 years on same script). I lost all "sharpness" on things more than 20ft away for the most part, but my new glasses should help. When i look through my 507 with green dot i see a halo around it, and i took that picture i posted to see if it was my eyes or the unit itself. The picture confirmed it was my eyes. Gotta wait 2 weeks for new glasses with progressive lenses.

Oh...you know that I understand the drip all too well. My bank account probably understands the drip even more.Some people just don't understand the drip
Just because it has been updated fairly recently and I haven't shared it in some time.

Rather than wait for my permission slip to pick up the Gen 5 34 I grabbed a slide for my 19 from Brownells along with some Trijicon HD suppressor height sights. I also grabbed a Magpul gl mag well for the 19 but it wouldn't work as the factory magazines would not seat. I even tried trimming the Magwell and still no luck. I would actually have to trim the grip on the gun to allow enough clearance between the magazine base plate and
the bottom of the grip for the Magwell to sit there.
the bottom of the grip for the Magwell to sit there.
10 round factory mags are actually slightly smaller than 15 round magazines.. most magwells do not work.
But I have a solution for you
