I’ve been using Aimpoint Micro red dot sights since around 2008 and really like them, but I recently tried a couple Holosun 509t red dots and have been impressed with their quality and function too. When I decided to add a red dot to my Beretta A300, my intention was to buy an Aimpoint H1 and bought a Scalarworks mount with that in mind, but then I read about the Holosun 403r that shares the same footprint for less than a third of the cost. I ended up buying the sight through Amazon, and with my credit card rewards, I paid less than $50. I got it mounted a couple days and sighted it in with slugs, and so far, I like it at least as well as my Aimpoints. I’m really anxious to see if a $150 red dot holds up as well a $500 red dot.

Can’t beat a deal like that, I’m sure it will hold up just fine for you.
I think it will. The online reviews were very positive, and some guys with both claim to like the Holosun better.
One thing I find incredible that I don’t understand how they do it is that the Aimpoint battery life is 50,000 hours, and the Holosun claims 100,000 hours. With a battery life claim of basically 11.5 years and since I turn it off when not in use, I may never have to change the battery, but I’ll continue to carry an extra battery in my pack just in case.
