OT, I have three T-2s and a Pro; I also have two of Holosun HS515 since they were on sale awhile back for $215. I've a bunch of Nightforce optics as well. My rifles aren't cheap either.
But I don't need T-2s on everything. Life will go on with Chinese RDS on a couple rifles, especially typing on a Chinese made computer, posting from a Chinese made phone, and carrying a Glock with a Chinese made RDS.
Blah blah MERICA Blah. Aimpoint isn't American made either. Trijicon makes good stuff but the MRO quantitatively sucks donkey ballz. The RMR is great but a bottom load battery sucks donkey ballz too. I hate that Holosun is kicking Aimpoint and Trijicon products in the ballz, but they are and they keep doing it again and again.
I'd pay more for a non-Chinese product if it came remotely close in capabilities / features. But right now Holosun is doing a lot right and I used to be a hater.
Is there a quality difference between the Holosun models? Like a basic HS403R vs HS515GM or is it just features? Do these use the same glass and emitter?

Not sure on that. I have a couple buddies with HS503R Holosuns, and I really like the rotary brightness control, and frankly the glass clarity is probably just as good as the top of the line HE515GT and HE530G, though I haven't taken the time to carefully compare. The HS403R is just the single 2 MOA dot version of the HS503R, which is itself probably the direct analog of the T1/T2. Again, I do personally prefer the HS403R to the T1 and T2. Over the T1 because the glass clarity is better in the Holosun, and over the T2 because the dot can be made brighter than the T2, thought the glass is a bit greener. FWIW.

I can certainly see how that would be lame as shit. I wonder if I’ve been going up in “average” setting over time. I crank them down or up as needed without much thought.
Just checked… My “goto” T2 has Sharpie marks on the dial. Its still on 10, which I marked as a generic daytime setting. And its still the correct brightness for my conditions. I understand that the settings on a T2 changed at some point.

Ive had to slowly get over this not buying NOTHING made in China. ALL your points are spot on, and contribute to this. Its is still heartbreaking, but it is still a fact that not everything Made in USA is good..and not everything Made in China is junk. IT ISNT. As for Holosun..I hearken back to what Mr.G&G said awhile back that Mr. Holosun..who has dual Chinese/American citizenship..was going to open a factory here in America. Ive heard NADA on that since.
One MUST look realistically at ones own personal situation as far as what MY needs are for gear. Were I a Patrol cop or using a weapon in ANY professional manner I couldnt live with myself unless I used the highest quality stuff..like Aimpoints and/or Trijicon. But, I aint..and the stuff I do use has been vetted and is great. My Steiner 1X4 is awesome. My Holosuns are more than adequate for me, and Im using and testing an Arken 6-24X 50 FFP riflescope on a 20" SPR that seems to built like a tank is very high quality, and for what I gave for it NIB...almost unheard of. So..unless/until we get another Trump like POTUS who does whatever he can to keep and create jobs & industry HERE..we gots to do what we gots to do.
