Holosun's Product Offerings
Table of Contents
Hey all, we here at True Shot Academy are going to go over Holosun’s product offerings. The company is best known for producing a wide variety of optics and has been expanding their offerings considerably in recent years. Our goal with this blog post is to provide a brief overview of the company’s product offerings while highlighting traits and features of their various offerings. Without further ado, let’s go over Holosun’s product offerings.
Who Is Holosun?
Holosun is a company well-known for their production of affordable electronic sights. Their product offerings span from pistol and rifle optics to more exotic offerings such as IR lasers, illuminators, and recently, night vision and thermal optics. Holosun’s products have been utilized for duty use, competition, and recreational use by shooters of all types. The company is well-known for providing economically priced optics, and the flashlights introduced by the company last year are no exception.
Many Holosun optics feature user-adjustable reticles, allowing end users to swap between different reticles on the fly. Many of the sights offered by Holosun also feature solar panels that either support an onboard battery or act as a backup source of power to the optic.
Micro Red Dot Sights
Holosun offers a wide variety of optics classified as micro red dot sights. Many of these are designed to fit the popular RMR mounting footprint, making them compatible with a variety of mounts, optics-cut slides, and adapter plates. This ensures end users can easily find compatible mounts for their Holosun optics.
Beyond the RMR footprint, Holosun also produces optics compatible with factory optic cuts, such as Glock MOS systems, Sig Sauer P320s, and Heckler & Koch VP9s. While most optics in this category—like the HE507, HS507, and SCS offerings—feature open emitters, Holosun also produces enclosed emitter options such as the EPS Carry and HE509T. Enclosed emitter designs prevent ingress of debris that could obscure or distort the reticle.
Traditional Red Dot Sights
Beyond micro red dots, Holosun offers traditional-style red dot sights designed for rifles, shotguns, and subguns. These larger optics mount to 1913-spec rails and often follow common footprints like the Aimpoint T1/T2, allowing direct mount compatibility.
These sights come in both open and closed emitter designs, with more enclosed models available in this category. Optics such as the SCRS and HE515 lines can use different mounts and spacers to achieve varied heights or offset mounting configurations. Other models, like the HE510 and HE512, feature integral mounts with quick-release levers for rapid attachment or removal.
Desirable Features for Shooters
Holosun’s red dot sights integrate many popular features shooters value. The MRS (Multi-Reticle System) allows users to switch between reticles on demand. The Shake Awake feature powers down the optic after inactivity and automatically reactivates upon movement, with adjustable sleep timers or manual disable options. Solar Failsafe-equipped optics maintain charge via onboard solar panels and capacitors for near-indefinite runtime. These combined technologies make Holosun red dots reliable, efficient, and attractive to shooters of all types.
Lasers and Illuminators
Beyond optics, Holosun also manufactures laser and illumination products, including visible and IR (infrared) lasers. Visible lasers can be seen with the naked eye, while IR lasers are visible only through night vision devices. These units are available as standalone lasers or combined with illumination modules such as the LE321R.
Holosun’s illuminators include visible-light and IR-only models, appealing to users who operate in night vision environments. The company’s P.ID flashlight line marks their entry into weapon-mounted lights, available in variants with higher candela output and optional IR or visible lasers. Though designed primarily for handguns, P.ID lights can also mount to rifles and shotguns, with multiple holster companies offering compatible fits.
Accessories and Other Offerings
In addition to optics and illumination devices, Holosun produces various accessories and support gear. This includes mounts, spacers, and magnifiers designed for use with red dot or holographic sights. Their flip-to-side magnifiers provide 3x magnification and feature quick-release mounts for easy removal. Other accessories like rubber covers, flip caps, and killflashes protect optics and reduce glare. These additions enhance functionality and extend the lifespan of Holosun optics.

All in all, Holosun’s offerings represent affordable and innovative designs that appeal to shooters of all experience levels. Hunters, competitors, concealed carriers, armed professionals, and recreational shooters alike can appreciate the quality and versatility of Holosun products.
