Holosun Red Dot Sights: A Complete Range Guide
A complete guide to the Holosun red dot range: EPS, AEMS, ARO, 407/507 pistol optics, 510C, SCS and magnifiers, plus the technology that sets them apart.
Holosun has become one of the most popular optic brands by packing advanced features into accessible price points. If you are new to the range, the model names can look confusing — this guide breaks down the main families and what each is best for. Explore everything in our Holosun optics collection.
The technology that sets Holosun apart
- Multi-Reticle System (MRS) — switch between a dot, circle-dot or ring to suit the task.
- Solar Failsafe — a solar panel powers the optic in bright light and backs up the battery.
- Shake Awake — motion activation that sleeps the optic when idle for huge battery life.
You can read more about these power features in our battery life and maintenance guide.
Pistol optics: 407, 507 and EPS
The 407C and 507C are full-size open reflex optics for optics-ready pistols, with the 507C adding a multi-reticle system. The 407K and 507K use the compact Holosun K footprint for subcompact carry guns. The EPS and EPS Carry are enclosed-emitter pistol optics for maximum reliability — see open reflex vs enclosed.

Rifle optics: 510C, AEMS and ARO
The 510C is a large-window open reflex optic ideal for general-purpose carbines. The AEMS and ARO families are enclosed rifle optics built for durability and fast acquisition. Browse rifle dot sights and enclosed red dot sights.
SCS: solar optics for specific pistols
The SCS series mounts directly to specific optics-ready slides (such as Glock MOS, SIG P320 and Walther PDP) and is fully solar-charging for a battery-free experience.
Green and gold dot options
Many Holosun models are available with a green or gold reticle as well as red. Some shooters find green easier to see in daylight — browse green dot sights and gold dot sights.
Magnifiers
