    Haven’t seen any yet, with optics you get what you pay for. How’s their warranty? It’s a rough life being an optic living on a semi auto pistol slide.

    I've never heard of them. Honestly at that price point I can't imagine them being that good. I had a cheap red dot years ago, never again.

    Just pay a little more and get a Swampfox or a Primary Arms that isn't going to poop the bed in a few months. And if it does, they have a fantastic warranty to back it up

    I have one (didn't buy it), and it is rebranded garbage that will not last on a centerfire pistol.

    The RFX-35 is out there for $150, get that.

    Swampfox would be a good choice. Have over a dozen of their optics and none have failed yet

    Holosun is a benchmark brand on feature/price/value, point of origin notwithstanding. I have RDS from Zeiss, Trijicon, Meopta, (had Burris), Sig and Holosun. On build quality, materials, design, battery life and reticle color and pattern options, the Holosuns are the new standard-bearer. Trijicon falls short on battery life, price, battery accessibility and reticle selectability.

    I have heard good and bad on Holosun. If I had a choice I would take a Trijicon over all of those. While a selectable reticle is nice many optics after switching you do need to re-zero. THe one thing holosun has going for them is the solar cell on many of their optics.

    I have several Holosun's, use to have also have some Burris. Never had any problems with either. I perfer the Holosun for the reticle options and the solar cell.
