I have four 509t’s. Two on pistols, two on rifles. The glass clarity isn’t great, but they’re ultra reliable and I love them. NOTE: A grease pencil clip will work as an adjustment tool in a pinch.
You still rocking the 509t? Im thinking of switching over from an RMR. I know I see the circle dot better, but can’t get over the rep that an RMR has, so I’ve stuck with it. Thoughts?
@@ВсёОбАмерикеИНеТолько you're right its really bad but its only an issue with the circle dot reticle. its not a non issue with the 2 or 6moa dot one. on one of my pistols i returned the eps for that reason and got the 509t x2 later since i learned i dont care for the MRS i got the 6moa dot eps and it has better clarity and isnt as bad with my astigmatism
I'm super happy to hear the glowing review. I recently purchased a 509t and Staccato P for duty carry and couldnt be happier with my choice. Keep up with the great content!
@@Mastersnake392 It’s been a fantastic setup. I’ve had several other officers place staccato orders or plan to after taking them to the range with mine. 509t is awesome as long as you don’t mind the bulky look. Checkout the Holosun SCS320. It’s designed for the 320 but has the DPP footprint which is the same as staccato so you wouldn’t need a mounting plate and it would be more low profile for a fully enclosed emitter optic.
@@bmac3375 I've been eyeing the SCS320, but we will have to see how it actually performs once it releases. I take it the 509T plays well with duty holsters like SafariLand?
@@Mastersnake392 Yeah when I’m working the street I rock it in a 6360rds ALS/SLS. Otherwise for CCW and competition I run hammer armament holsters. No issue with holster/optic compatibility so far.
I have a few of these. Love them. Acro P-2 is the only real competitor. They’re difficult to get and nearly twice the price. Until P-2’s become more available or there’s more on the market, this is the go too.
I have several 509s, including a couple of the ACSS versions, and LOVE 'em. HOWEVER, I have seen two that had moister get INSIDE of them rendering them USELESS, and I have seen a few videos and some forum reports reporting the same moister issues... SO, like all things made by humans, some of them fail. So far, I have not had to use their customer service.
Toasters Unite! If it works why not mount Air fryer? Thanks for the review...might try this ( Since no EPS carry's can be found) on 4.25 prodigy when my plate comes in.
Part of it depends on use and what mount you have available. Overall I think enclosed emitters are going to be the way of the future for duty or carry. The EPS are what I am going towards more and more but if its an RMR footprint slide then the 508 for the win.
15:03 Good info...thanks! I'm new Here in CA, I'm limited to a Gen 3 Glock 20. So, in order to bring mine into line with the Gen 5, I'm looking at swapping out the barrel (KKM), milling for the HS509T v2, and other upgrades. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
@@printingwithpeek4897 Sometimes better optics come out with different footprints. Like the Holosun K optic footprints vs the RMSc ones. Granted the difference there is literally filing the rear recoil bosses, so it's doable at home. But still, I'll take a modified K footprint over the original RMSc one, since it's backwards compatible and Holosun's optics are better.
Unfortunately for me I haven’t had the best luck with my 509t with a C&H Plate on an M&P 2.0 Compact Optics Ready. The dot came loose from the plate and the plate came loose from the gun and I just got a replacement in the mail a week or so ago all in the first year of me having it. The first one I sent back was eating through batteries, I finally did an RMA when my second set of batteries was dead in the first year. This gun isn’t carried often so it sits in the safe way more than it’s used. I haven’t decided if I am going to keep it and put it back on and hope the first one was just a slip through the crack or sell it and get an P-2 if and when I can find one in stock.
Had the same issue with my 509 and the same exact pistol. After almost a short amount of time it started getting loose from the C&H plate after just a few mags at the range. I thought the mounting screw was just backing out but the mount just wasn't fitting right on the plate.
Any update on this? Did you guys torqued down to spec? I have the same set up ran a few mags through no issues yet. Ttorqued c&h plate to 10 in lbs as directed and holosun 20 in lbs as directed.
@@luisespinal7123honestly I took that particular pew pew out of my carry rotation and have not taken it back to the range for the past year. I will say that I have checked it numerous times at home and it has not loosened up again.
At least these are actually available.... Aimpoint is prioritizing LE/Mil with their availability of the P2, you will probably see a lot of sales missed by Aimpoint from people buying this instead....
Glad to hear the 509 are working well. Because you mentioned it, I am running a Steiner on a Glock 40 with no issues and a few hundred rounds down range. Got it on sale and figured a German sight on an Austrian gun would be complimentary . 😂
Boys and their toys....heh...as the saying goes....Funny how I bought into RDS (as a civilian...the thinking I wanted to Gucci my pistols...heh). Just to look "tacti-cool". )) I've never been in a gun fight, never a LEO or military....but I can guess what real world scenarios are really like e.g. that LEO/MIL or CCW civilians engage only at distancces where we can actually see the body of the threat...so they appear at leat "2 feet tall" or taller...which are "point and shoot" distances. ..should be able to place shots somewhere on th body...that 2" groupings are not important... In shooting sports...sure....put a SrO onthe pistol :)) I mean REALLY....has any one really tested this out? ?? Try putting 5 rounds centre mass as the "bad guy" is moving and shooting back?? :)) GOOD LUCK!! :) ONly in the movies!!! Add ...most "good LEO" would prefer never to have to draw their guns. That is a good career. "...I've NEVER had to ddraw my sidearm!1...and i lived...never stabbed or shot once..."...
I have bad astigmatism and the Halosun 509T is the only optic I have found that does not distort with my vision. I have three mounted on Glocks and a Mossberg and will probably be getting another this morning for a Smith & Wesson PC 686+. So far, I have had no issues that required me to contact Halosun Customer Service. But, I consider that a statement to the quality of the product. I HATE using products made offshore when US products are available, but there’s no local options given my vision. Other than their origin, I LOVE HALOSUN!
Can you recommend where to get back green 509 for a decent price as well as a good light for a p320 3.9inch barrel that's bright and has condensed light like a spot light?
I have a new 509T on my EDC, a Walther PDP compact using a C&H precision plate and Walther Suppressor height sights. Without the C&H plate, you’re using a double plate system which I hate and the 509 is mounted quite high. Thanks for the glowing review. I also have a 507K X2 on a Sig with absolutely no issues. Love the channel!
@@Ranger-kc5bd because you cant reply.....when you try, explain why a red dot with failure to operate with dead battery, failure to operate when electronic failure, failure to operate when aim point shifts due to recoil, failure to operate in bad weather, and hard to line up under stress works better than tritium post that has none of these issues. I've done most of the work for ya....LOL
Admittedly I do not have any experience with Holosun, but I have heard of many guys having issues or them being DOA. My understanding from guys whether at classes, other agencies, or on social media, if you get a good one out of the box more than likely you are good. I’ve looked through Holosun’s, they have a very crisp dot and I like the Eotech like circle dot. I just wish they would tighten up their QC. our department is switching to g45’s with RMR’s. I have been approved to run my staccato. For duty I would really like to go with an enclosed emitter. I’ve been tempted to try Holosun but still have my reservations. Unfortunately trying to find a p2 is almost impossible. I have always ran Eotech,trijicon, or Aimpoint and they are treated me well.
I have a set of suppressor sights that work fine. I don’t co witness I want the back up sights low and out of the way. You can check out my co witness video for more info
you sermons super intelligent on this subject, hopefully ur not too busy. if u can give advice,I have a live free lf320 rmr cut slide. I bought an rmr. do I need a seal plate or an adapter plate with post on it. I read different things. thanks for time if u see this. or can it mount directly to the slide?
