Holosun 507C
The full-size version, with an addition that changes the equation — **solar backup**. If the battery dies, the optic keeps running on daylight. Combined with a five-year battery and shake-awake, this is an optic that practically never goes dark.

- Solar backup — keeps working even without a battery
- Large window, 2 MOA dot, and circle
- Top-loading battery, no removal needed
What's less good
- Too big for a slim pistol

An optic is something you should shoot with before you buy
