Description

The Holosun HE509T is a titanium-housed closed-reticle red-dot sight for competition or defensive pistols. It includes Holosun’s standard features such as 50,000-hour battery life as well as solar power, three reticle choices (dot, circle, or circle-dot combination), plus 10 daylight and two night-vision brightness settings.

For those who prefer to have the iron sight option as a backup, the HE509T does allow for suppressor-height sights to be used as a lower-third option, not a co-witness.

The HE509T is a closed optic. Rob Pincus goes into more detail about the advantages of the closed optic system in this video: Closed vs Open Pistol Optics.

This is the hollow sun he 509 T and it's a Titanium housed closed red, red.site for competition or defensive pistols. It has a proprietary mount. It has a side access battery tray, which means you don't have to take it out of the mount to change the battery, but you won't have to change the battery that often because it uses a 1632 and it's good for up to 50,000 hours. And of course, the trademark of hollow sun, it also has a solar capable powering system as well. Now, this is adjustable. This is the 509 T which means that it's adjustable for a radical that is a dot A circle dot or just the open circle. And in fact, that's something a lot of people are looking for because a lot of people new to red dots are considering not only whether or not they want an open or a closed design, but also which red they want to use on that defensive pistol. Now, this one has 10 daylight and two night vision settings. And again, it is very rugged and durable and it's actually IP 67 waterproof rating. So you can compare it to other models from other manufacturers when you consider the value and the quality that you're gonna get from holiday. Now, I'm new to this particular optic, but I'm not new to the Hollow Sun Line. They've been durable, they've been reliable. And again, they've been a great value. Lots of students and lots of armed professionals I've seen now are choosing hollow sign as their go to for defensive carry optics. Now, if you are carrying an optic, there's some advantages to the closed system. It's less likely to have dirt lint or other debris get in the way of the actual light so that you can actually see it clearly and it's much easier to clean off. Should you get water, rain like any kind of dirt lin or anything that's going to block your vision through their actual red or that's gonna drac that red dot circle or circle dot that you're looking at for your precision Amy. Now, while a lot of people are going to red dots, a lot of people want to go to a red dot and still have their iron site option as a backup. And this does allow as you can see for suppressor height sites to be used as a lower third, not a co witness, but a lower third option. So take a good look at the 509 T. Again, it's a rugged Titanium closed housing red.site that may be a perfect choice for you when it comes to a defensive carry or staged pistol.
