Description

Let’s take a look at the new Holosun HE509T, a rugged titanium-housed closed-reticle red-dot sight designed for competition and defensive pistols.

HE509T DETAILS

The Holosun HE509T has a proprietary mount and a side-access battery tray, which means you don’t have to take the unit out of the mount to change the battery. The battery life is up to 50,000 hours at setting 6. It takes a CR1632 battery, which comes with the unit.

It also has Holosun’s trademark, a solar-capable powering system, and Holosun’s Shake Awake function.

The HE509T is adjustable for a reticle that is a dot or a circle dot, which is something a lot of people are looking for, especially people who are new to red-dot sights. They are considering whether they want an open or a closed design in a red-dot sight and also what kind of reticle they want to use. With this optic, you have a choice.

The HE509T has ten daylight and two night-vision brightness settings — compare that to other models from different manufacturers and consider the value and the quality you’ll get from Holosun.

Dimensions in inches are 1.6×1.16×1.13, and the weight of the unit is 1.72 ounces.

ROLES FOR THIS SIGHT

As well as a candidate for a competition pistol, this sight may be a great choice for your defensive gear, mounted on a carry gun or a staged home-defense pistol.

    What would it take to mount this on a Sig Sauer M17

This is the Holosun HE509T, and it's a titanium housed, closed reticle, red dot sight, for competition or defensive pistols. It has a proprietary mount that has a side access battery tray, which means you don't have to take it out of the mount to change the battery. And of course the trademark of Holosun, it also has a solar capable powering system as well. It's adjustable for a reticle that is a dot, or a circle dot. 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 reticle they wanna use. This one has 10 daylight and two night-vision settings. 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 Holosun. So take a good look at the 509T. Again, it's a rugged titanium closed housing, red dot sight, that may be a perfect choice for you when it comes to a defensive carry or a staged pistol.
