City of Industry, CA – The prices and options are stacked high when it comes to competition pistol optics. These optics must have strong performance, durability, and the ability to offer a large sight picture to provide fast target acquisition. Not only does this limit the use of standard pistol optics, but it also generates fierce competition within the industry to provide outstandingly durable and unique designs. Holosun is stepping up its game in this category with the release of its 507 Competition optic.

The 507Comp pistol optic features a large 1.1” x 0.87” objective lens for enhanced shooting performance and Holosun’s new Competition Reticle System (CRS), available with a red or green LED. CRS is an enhanced Multi-Reticle System with four components: a precision 2 MOA dot, an 8 MOA circle, a 20 MOA circle, and a 32 MOA circle with multiple combination settings to suit individual competitors’ preferences. As with most Holosun optics, the 507Comp offers up to 50,000 hours of battery life with eight reticle brightness settings – six day and two night vision compatible. Shake Awake technology helps to preserve the battery performance and returns the user to the last setting chosen. Coming with a 1.1x.87” window shows a significant increase in sight picture, necessary for competition shooting, and remains parallax free with unlimited eye relief. Read more

EOTECH is proud to have partnered with Black Rain Ordnance, a precision firearms manufacturer and Cerakote specialist, to show its “Made in America” pride by introducing the Betsy Ross, Limited Edition, XPS2 holographic weapon sight.

The Betsy Ross XPS2 includes a custom Cerakote aluminum hood consisting of the US flag’s red and white stripes and the circular pattern of 13 stars, that represent the original U.S. Colonies. Cerakote is durable like the HWS and is resistant to corrosion, scratches, and wear. At only 3.8-inches long and a mere 9-ounces, this is the shortest and lightest HWS sight. The HWS XPS2 is mission-capable and includes a single CR123 lithium battery configuration and compact footprint that leaves ample rail space for rear iron sights or magnifiers.

“Black Rain Ordnance is a leader in quality firearms and the Cerakote process, so it just made sense to partner with them” said Mark Cockman, Vice President of Sales for EOTECH. “We wanted to do something special and unique to bring in Summer in a patriotic way.”

The Betsy Ross XPS2 reticle provides a 68 MOA ring with a 1 MOA aiming dot that allows the shooter to quickly pick up and lock on a target. In all EOTECH HWS systems, the reticle is focused at the same plane as the target which aides in rapid target acquisition while reducing eye fatigue. Read more
