I have been very vocal about not liking Holosun in the past, but they have become unavoidable, and I give them props for all of their fantastic innovations in the industry. Yes it sucks they are made in China, yes all of my defense guns have Aimpoints, Eotech's or Steriners, but Holosun is freaking killing it.
Oh, and all the holosuns competing with the T1's and RMR's have clearer glass, and crisper dots and reticles for me with my Astigmatism.
The lower cost Chinese stuff is innovating faster, putting out products faster, getting contracts, killing bad guys in Aftrica with the SAS, and flooding the market the last few years with very solid and (from what I've seen) reliable competition.
98% Sarcastic. 100% Overthinking things and making up reasons for buying a new firearm.
A lot of folks are reluctant to get into shooting comps due to the perceived need of expensive equipment. A lower cost of entry could boost class attendance as well.
I have a holosun 507c on a pistol and have been very happy with it. When I first started researching a while back I was set in a rmr type 2. Then I saw Aaron Cowan out over 10k rounds on one with multiple drop tests. Primary arms also had some reputable trainers and industry people give good feedback. Chambers customs also has over 10k on one he tests/breaks in his 1911s with
You can pick up gently used Aimpoint pros for around $300 for s rifle and that would be my first choice, but I wouldn't be hesitant to use it recommend a few lower cost brands on a rifle. Many people I know won't spend more than $200 or so on a red Dot, at least there are visible options these days
I stick with either the larger Aimpoints like the PRO or second hand market but on black friday PSA had a special ....10 Pmags and a Sig Romeo5 for $199. Haven't tried it yet but for $100 I figured I'd give it a shot since one of my older Aimpoints crapped out this summer

Rumbling I'm seeing by the FBI is they wish they had kept the Aimpoint T-2 instead of going to the SIG Romeo 4.
I get being on a budget and think PA / Vortex have raised the bar with Chinese made optics, but it's still Chinese made optics.
Pasadena PD has a good reputation in the Houston area for their firearms training program and instructors. The instructors and many of the officers are pretty active with TTPOA which hosts classes for many popular and vetted trainers. If the PPD firearms training staff vouched for a product and says its ready for duty work then I would tend to believe them. Primary Arms is based here and has put a lot of money into promoting their products to local agencies.
As a company they've been extremely supportive of local LE and I'm happy to see them make inroads to that market.
