Holosun HS510C vs EOTech EXPS3 (with Night Vision)

Comparing the budget friendly Holosun HS510C to the industry standard EOTech reflex style sight

[grahamkracker]

This video made it very clear to me that I can save money with the Holosun over the EOTech. Thanks for such a great video!

The LEGO guy usage secured a follow from me

FYI: If you have Astigmatism the eotech reticle will be kinda blurry without your glasses but the holosun will be perfectly clear without glasses. I own both

Holographic sights tends to look fuzzy if you're focused on them. You're supposed to look through them, not at them. If you stay target-focused, the reticle will appear crisp.

OK the Simpson's cut was perfect, subscribed

I love quality in budget.
I want the best, but I am realistic.
I have no plans to be the next guy in a nightvision raid in some sandbox in the middle east, and I'm sure all the nightvision I'll need in the near future will be measured in lumens and candela.

I have the Holosun HS510C and I've been extremely happy with my purchase, I was able to find it on sale and couldn't pass it up. I was able to pickup a couple of the risers when they were in stock at Primary Arms and I highly recommend it if you like to have a higher ride height. I run fixed irons on my ARs and much rather have the higher 1/3 cowitness. For the $ I don't think you could go wrong with the Holosun, no it isn't battle tested like the Eotech, but for my uses I am highly satisfied with my choice. Thank you for the great video as always!

Your description on how an eotech works is spot on 😂

[MrCooper]

EOTech is on an entirely different level than their competition. The biggest factor that separates it is its minimal parallax shift at 100 yards. This is where the holographic sight comes into play over a traditional LED optic.

[RJMeix]

You didn't point out that although the Eotech is better with night vision, the Holosun lets you run that single dot, making it just as effective I would think, since it's not drowning out your target nearly as much... assuming you're cool with just the dot anyway. Would have liked to see that with night vision. Good video, good comparison!

[schotttaylor]

This is a really great walk through of the pros and cons of both optics. And, very non biased. It’s very hard to get opinions that aren’t trying promote one over the other. Thank you!

[mikejochem]

I wonder how much the green dot version would affect the night vision. Also would of like to have seen the holoson with the dot only in the night vision

[CoffeemyTavor]

One of the best reviews I've seen. Watch the whole thing.

[jakemiester]

I have the Holosun HS510C, love tthis optic. Was in the safe for the last 2 years, took it out yesterday and was dinging 6" plates at 200 yard, with no adjustments.

[michaelmignone]

I have and love both. Love the lighter weight, battery life and the auto on mode of the Holosun and the ruggedness of the eotech

I own a Holosun red dot and an Eotech, but I've installed the Holosun HS510C on two of my family member's firearms. Very detailed comparison, but I think a couple of things need to be mentioned.

1. The Holosun and Eotech utilizes two different types of technology to produce their image. The Holosun uses a LED laser, while the Eotech is holographic; pro's and con's to each.
2. The Eotech appears fuzzy by nature, per the owner's manual one should be focusing on the target rather than the reticle and the image should clear up.
3. The Holosun's auto brightness seems great on paper, but I wouldn't recommend having that feature on for two reasons: 1) when using a white light the reticle will be washed out completely. 2) light intensity may differ between you and the target, which the optic may dim the reticle too much to use.
4. The Holosun HS510c is pretty much a large open-reflex sight, debris may obstruct the laser from reaching the lens.

All in all, I think the Holosun is a great bang for the buck optic with nice features. The Holosun should satisfy most consumers whether they use it for recreation or home defense. When it comes to ruggedness and reliability I'll take the Eotech, I just wish Eotech would include a shake and wake feature. Great video!

I have both a red and green Holosun HS510C and green HE515 Holosun. I got a good deal on an EOTech EXPS3 so I mounted that to my 14.5 pinned build. With my astigmatism the Holosuns are clearer to me, even with the target focus I’ve read some commenters say is needed with the EOTech. I got the EOTech for its bombproof history and for possible barter ability in SHTF. I think I’d keep my Holosuns to use because of the solar function, as batteries will eventually become hard to find (I am getting 123A rechargeables and a solar panel chargeable portable power station).

I’m hoping to not need any of these. They way the world is headed you never can be too prepared.

That was such an excellent video... Learned alot thanks

[FitnessConnect]

Holosun has done excellent in giving the gun community the best budget options hands down. I do still believe the high $cost$ red dots are worth investing in....at least one for a primary fighting rifle, just like it may be a good idea everyone own at least one revolver, or one Glock no matter if you like them or not.

[markej]

Extremely well done video with outcomes nicely explained and your reasonings sound, IMO. Thanks for all.
