Keep going back and forth between this and the 407k. Anyone have experience with both?

I know people LOVE Holosun, but I’ve had terrible luck with reliability on 507k’s and am cutting my losses (when they get back from warranty) and trying something new.

mhammond0361@reddit

Interesting to hear. I've carried my.507k for prob 3 yrs now mayhe more and it's b3en flawless.

[-]

truchoppy@reddit

Just bought one from them cause it’s a direct mount on my shield plus. Haven’t gotten to shoot with it yet but it fits nice on it and seems really solid. Coming from a guy who owns multiple Holosuns.

perfes@reddit

I heard these have bad flickering issues. Do you notice it?

[-]

They had a flickering issue and and issue with the red dot being blocked from view in the lower third of the window. They also had 12 or longer hour delay for auto power off. The delay has been shorted to something like 15 minutes and the flicker and blockage issue have been eliminated.

The new versions don’t. If you have a flickering version cortex will replace it

Sensitive_Pause7175@reddit

I bought one about a year ago and it’s been flawless. Better than my holosuns even I think. Got it for $200 bucks at the time. Can’t beat it. And they have an unconditional warranty. Literally. Can smash it on the ground and they’ll just replace it lol. You will 100% not be disappointed.

I had a 507k i was pretty happy with.

From what i've researched, these are nearly at 507k level.

I got mine in the mail today and i'm going to play with it.

If it truly is 95% 507k quality, I could see myself moving my 508t's to maybe the ST line.

I have both, I enjoy both. My only gripe with the Vortex is that it has more glare from the housing in the viewing window at certain angles. Ive only seen the glare when larping around my room and not at the range (indoor or outdoor). The vortex comes with every screw known to man which is nice, other than what was mentioned I feel like its a wash.

The optical distortion on the 407k is pretty bad.

[-]

Eleet007@reddit

I’m starting to lose faith in my 407k’s. I’ve had issues with two of them. Eventually Holosun replaced both, but it makes me hesitant to put one back on a carry gun. No experience with this Vortex

[-]

SilenceDobad76@reddit

For a sample size of two I've had zero issues with mine over the last few years over two carry guns. The size of the optic is low enough that I can still witness my regular hight sights over it on both my 365 and hellcat which is appreciated.

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

Only issue I’ve personally had is I moved one off my carry gun to another gun and couldn’t get it zero’d because it ran out of adjustment range. Worked fine on the one but wouldn’t work on the other, even send the slide and optic in to the machinist to have it checked over to make sure the cut was right. Apparently it’s a fairly common issue. Holosun replaced it not questions asked so can’t complain too much. And I haven’t had any issue with the EPS carry’s that replaced my 407ks.

Is this one of those that you have to remove to change the battery because the door is on thew bottom?

[-]

Zestyclose-Leopard48@reddit

Nope, battery access is on top.

[-]

RichIT123@reddit

Are these shake awake ?

[-]

RichIT123@reddit

I just asked perplexity. It says it does. Supposedly it used to be 14 hours auto shut off but the updated ones are 10 min

[-]

brixalpha@reddit

Correct, I have the original one that does the 14 hour and the battery lasted a year and a half on my EDC pistol so it was activated pretty much everyday.

[-]

cat_with_NVG@reddit

Vortex will give you a new model for free if you send them your old model

[-]

brixalpha@reddit

I know, but I rotate my batteries every year anyways, I wanted to see how far the battery would go with the long shake awake time. I love this site, it doesn't really bother me.

[-]

cat_with_NVG@reddit

fair enough, I checked with Vortex ahead of time to be safe. My defender ccw for my shield plus is due to be delivered today, very exicted

[-]

FitBananers@reddit

One of the best dots on the market right now. I have all three versions from Vortex
