I recently picked up a S&W M&P in 10mm, one of the performance center guns, already cut for optics. I'm not planning on competing, It will be my truck gun, loaded with full house loads. I like the "shake awake," feature, but if I'm in the truck on a rough road, will it be shaking awake? What do you like? Suggestions?
I really like my Holosuns, and on the ones I have, you can turn them off to keep them from shaking awake. Unless it’s a carry gun, I don’t really see the point in shake awake.
I also like my Trijicon RMR, but there’s a significant price difference.
I use Holosuns on some of my carry guns and I actually prefer the shake awake option as the optic is ready when I draw. Yes, it stays on when I'm carrying, but the battery in the optic is rated for somewhere around 45,000 hours of use so I'm not worried about it dying on me. If you're worried about battery life, you can always buy a Holoson with a solar charging panel. You also have a choice of optic colors, either red or green. I prefer the green due to being older and having poorer eyesight, the green is easier to see in daylight situations.
If you have astigmatism the green will appear clearer, no "bloom" like the red.
Holosun all the way. It will shake awake from the ride, but it will be ok because of the long battery life and your not driving hours upon hours should last you years.
