During the past 10 years, shooters have taken to Holosun for the companys quality products and reasonable prices.
This Holosun red dot offers an intriguing new feature for handgun competitive shooting as well as defensive use.
How does this different reticle system measure up?
The Holosun 507Comp-RD offers multiple reticles and is night vision compatible. How does it perform on the range?
My favorite new pistol to run at the range is hands down the Echelon.
The gun features some truly unique and unparalleled features, all under one roof.

The Springfield Armory Echelon is a good test platform for the new Holosun optic as it is a duty pistol with the ability to natively mount optics without the need for plates.
For the model I received, I chose the tritium three-dot sights to be included.
What really struck me about Holosuns 507Comp was the extremely generous window and clarity when looking through it.

The Holosun 507Comp has a battery tray that allows you to swap power sources without needing to remove the sight from the gun.
No adapter plates are required.
Thats the beauty of the Variable Interface System system.
you might mount over 30 optics directly to the rail without requiring any additional special adapters.
The controls for the Holosun optic are easy to locate and use. The “+” button increases the brightness while the “-” button decreases it.
Then it was time to hit the range and see how the Echelon and 507Comp package performed together.
A minor adjustment to my alignment, and the zero and hold were both rock solid.
Then I performed rapid successions of shot placements from about 15 yards out on paper.
The author tested the Holosun reflex sight on the range with the Echelon 9mm pistol.
I switched the reticle system over to the 20 MOA circle and had a similar experience.
The MSRP for the red reticle unit is $435, while the green comes in at $470.
This puts these units as the most expensive of the companys 507 line of optics.
Mounted to the Springfield Armory Echelon, the Holosun 507Comp performed well and held zero.
However, it is still substantially cheaper than other high-end firearm optics like the Trijicon SRO and RMR.
