    Second, I'm pretty sure you wrote that on a computer built in China, or with parts built in China, wearing clothes that were made in China, or at least some other nation that exploits labor and hates the West. I'm pretty sure your cell phone, TV, and about 50 to 80 percent of the stuff in your house was made partially or entirely in China.

    And, Holosun is not a low quality RDS either. That's been pretty thoroughly proven.
    You can make excuses all you want, but at the end of the day you have an alternative choice to buying products made in China. Optics are one of those things you can for sure buy from sources other than China.

    I know paying more money for the non Chinese optic isn’t fun, but neither is supporting intellectual property theft, slave labor, and the People’s Liberation Army. Hey whatever, you do you, but don’t be surprised when your actions are judged in a negative way by others.

    Let’s add forced sterilization and economic terrorism to the list too.

    Funny how quickly one’s values can go out the window to save $100 on an optic. Americans are cheap suckers.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    People can't cherry pick. Look at everything you own that you actually can buy American, like American made clothing or shoes. There's a reason why Levi's last American factory closed for good.

    Sorry not sorry. I bought a Holosun 509 and I like it. Go ahead and line me and others who have bought Holosun up against the wall for treason if that’s what’s considered being a turncoat these days.

    Besides I bought from an American company. They got my money, not Holosun.

    I want to get my first dot and I have to say I’m stuck in the same China issue. Lots of ppl use em and they’re much more affordable but I have read plenty of them not working right lately AND …CHINA.
    I know, I own other Chinese made stuff. We all do. Some are American companies with Chinese factories. That seems more acceptable than Chinese company Chinese factory.

    Maybe I’m being silly and missing out on saving $200-300 and getting (hopefully) a great dot.

    No doubt. But let’s really not try to pretend this has anything to do with anything other than price.

    Holosun owners bought them because they are less expensive.

    Period.

    If a Holosun was more expensive than the equivalent Trijicon how many here would own one?

    Zero.

    There are plenty of folks that have deliberately picked Holosuns over Trijicon optics even when money is no object, e.g., Steve Fisher, Joe Chambers, etc. Seen it locally with USPSA guys, too, who take off SROs, RMRs, and/or DPPs for Holosuns.

    Oh I thought you meant folks who don’t get paid to advertise.

    Any regular Joe’s you know of that have done the same?
