Lol, what forum are you on?? ALL threads go off topic....

Yeah,yeah, yeah... I forgot that this is still the internet

Simple make all items imported from China either pay a Covid tariff . Better yet make it a federal crime, with 50 years in prison for importation of good from China or exportation of American knowledge including what is taught at Universities. I have nothing against imports from other countries.

See, I'm a libertarian. I've no issues with tariffs. Buy I do not want anymore government intervention in colleges and universities then what is already there.

My two pennies.

I've owned several different optics and I've broke some and had some fail. EoTech and Aimpoint sent RMA's promptly and repaired/replaced the optics. Primary Arms replaced a red dot for me.

I have yet to break a Holosun or Trijicon anything. Rifle or pistol optics.

I just think Holosun offers the better value, especially with features and innovation.... even though some of their more recent offerings are creeping up in price and knocking on or going over that $400 price mark.

This thread is quickly getting off topic, I think you should buy what you want for the reasons you want, just understand what you are getting.

After years of going back and forth with optics on my "go-to, General purpose, Reece, whatever" I have decided on going to an ACOG with a Holosun 509T piggy back and a ADM cantilever mount. Why holosun instead of an RMR, price and reticle. Do I think the RMR is more durable, yes; would I rather buy US made, yes; but altimately it doesn't give me what I want because it doesn't have an easy access battery, and I like the donut of death as I get into night vision, which is a whole 'nother can of worms.

So you're choosing a communist made optic because of reticle... I see your priorities are in line.

What features? The stupid "shake awake" or the solar retardation?

I prefered it over the RMR because of cleaner glass, sharper reticle, and the battery life is still there. Not to mention half the price and being able to switch over to the circle dot is nice for introducing new shooters to a RDS on a handgun.

Edit: I'll also add that it is awesome to be able to change a battery without removing the optic.

If he is serious about using a tool for shooting that suits him best, I'd say his priority is perfectly in line for his needs.

The problem with the government, is they mess about with things they shouldn't and then are either too corrupt or too cowardly to mess with the things they should.

Well said...

Well, new at Shot Show, Holosun introduced a no battery (permanent rechargeable - lifetime guarantee) solar charged titanium dot.
They are custom made for a particular model gun. No plates needed and even match the slide milling to make it look like part of the gun.
Who are they copying now?

That video just pisses me off even more, than I was when I started this thread.

Why is the most innovative red dot manufacturer not an American made and manufactured company?
