Holosun HE512C-GD Gold Multi-Reticle Circle Dot Enclosed Reflex Sight w/Solar Failsafe and Shake Awake

After years of EO-Techs this reticle just makes sense to me. Shake awake is awesome. It’s very light and actually not any larger than anything else. The shape throws you off since I thought it was going to be a school bus.So far I’ve had ZERO issues & beat the crap out of this thing (lives on a 300 8” pistol that goes in/out of my truck multiple times per-day).Only thing is sometimes the shake awake needs a little nudge more than picking it up from the bed side trying to be quiet. That’s a me problem though. HahaHighly recommend this for a fraction of the cost vs others with the same reticle.If they made this as a holographic, it would be the best red (actually gold) dot on the market.

I bought this too target shoot with and to test to see how well it works and to see if they are as good as everyone talks about. When i got it I was super pleased with the clarity of the glass even though it has a little green tent to it. The gold dot I love i even had my mom try it because she’s blind in one eye and she actually really liked it as well. I like how you can do the 3 different reticles they are very visible and goes super bright and all the way down to night vision. I’m super happy and impressed with this sight I’ll definitely be buying more holosuns. I bought the 512 just because it has the closed emitter plus I wanted something tough because I’m paraplegic and I drop things at times so I didn’t want anything getting in and blocking the LED from shining. It definitely seems durable. I’m sure the battery life is good even if it’s not it has solar to back it up which is why I went with it as well normally I just go with scopes so I don’t have to mess with batteries. The price I paid I was happy with and it’s super easy to install my mom helped tightened the screws for me since my grip strength isn’t that great. Definitely worth it and happy with it!

This is a bit preliminary. However, I have a lot of experience in the firearm world and from the overall feel of this optic I think its safe to say its high quality. the reticles are crisp and clear. This is compared to eotechs and the holosun is about half the price of the 512. Lines are far more crisp. The reticle on this one is "gold" color which I was not expecting. Honestly, I don't foresee it causing an issue. It did throw me off as I'm used to a red reticle. Will see how it holds up after some abuse.

I have astigmatism and it's very clear minimum flair

LOVE THE GOLD STOOD OUT NICE AND BRIGHT EVEN OUTDOORS AGAINST THE BROWNS AND YELLOWS AND GREENS AND BLUES OF OUTDOORS. HIGHLY RECOMENDED

Have one for my MPX works great. Little too low for ARs but fits great on MPX, low battery in 18 months with brand new good quality battery is less than expected.

Partially color blind so needed something that wasn’t red/green. It is very bright when needed, levels and dot can be changed with simply holding the correct button. Has a long battery life.

Got this to put on a high end AR pistol after looking and shopping for a while. I knew I wanted a dot scope but I love holographic sights. We’re getting ready for my son to start shooting and he’s color blind, reds show up as grey to him so the Eotech I have on my other rifle is visible to him but it doesn’t pop out like it does for non color blind people,so I figured a good gold dot reticle would solve that.Unpacking and mounting was super easy. I was surprised at how big and clunky the sight looks, but that’s also a factor of how solid it is. Once it’s mounted it’s a rock, no flex or wobble at all. Motion activation is perfect and the reticle is nice and bright with plenty of adjustment. Zero was easy with a laser boresight, I wanted 50 yards so just had to drop elevation a bit. Handed it to my son and he can see it quite easily to I’d chalk that up as a success.First range visit was perfect. It was zeroed perfectly and didn’t move at all after a couple hundred rounds. The giant side profile all bit disappears when you’re looking through the sights, and cowitness with my flip up sights was perfect.Overall wish it didn’t look like a LEGO block, but for performance and visibility no complaints at all. Recommended.
