I'm interested in mounting a Holosun SCS MOS on my G40 in 10mm, but wondering if real world experience shows them to be holding up to 10mm recoil well or not?

Anyone with experience and range time with this combo care to comment?

Thanks,
DeWayne

I have one on my G20.5 and has been good so far, 500+ what I would call full power, not “nuclear” 10 mm loads along with 200+ 40 rounds. Has held zero and always has power. I do shut it off when not in use and try to remember to put it in the light to maintain its charge.

That's great to hear.

Mines held up fine so far!!

Thanks, guys. Just mounted one up - will take to the range tomorrow.

I have one on a Gen 4 29 that was milled to accept it. I’ve had it on for about 6 months and around 500 rounds - a mix of Underwood HC, some softer reloads, all types of range ammo and even a couple boxes of .40.

No concerns at all. I never turn it off and just pack it OWB on a daily basis.

I’m genuinely curious about these sights. Do any of you guys who have them have any other brands or models to compare these to? Trijicon still seems to be the standard but it comes at a price and no doubt the direct mount to the slide is a huge plus for these SCS sights.

I can’t help but think this is what I want to try unless you guys have negative experiences.

One of the big advantages to me is being able to co witness standard height iron sights. In the event the sight does fail you have iron sights to fall back on and also being standard height it makes the cross over from irons to dot a little easier. I have also left mine on in a completely dark gun locker for a couple weeks and still comes out charged and ready to go. It has also proved to be durable for me for the year that I’ve had it. The jury is still out for me on how long it will still keep charging. I’ve also have a Vortex Venom which has spent its life on a 10 mm and has never lost zero and has been subject to a fair amount of abuse. That being said I consider the SCS to be the more durable of the two. I do not have an optic on my primary CC gun, but if I did I would strongly consider the SCS.

Holy crap - this sight is a game changer!

I've been avoiding red dots for a while, as I mounted one once and struggled finding the dot quickly. So, I figured I could get on my iron sights faster in an "I'm being charged by a bear or mountain lion" situation. But now that I've become pretty handy with Glock 40, I decided to try a red dot for real.

I took it to the range today and the ability to see a distant target AND the sight clearly is like having young eyes again. There was just no way to do this before - my distance vision is great, but the actual pistol sights were always fuzzy. So, I'd resorted to buying some shooting glasses with reader bifocals in the top part of the lens. This allowed me to see the sight clearly, but then the targets were fuzzy. 25 yards was spray and pray! But not with the red dot!

This target was shot rested, about 20 rounds, mostly at 15-20-25 yds. And the flyers weren't even at 25 yds, they were true flyers from flinching or pulling as I got tired and punchy. I'd been shooting before I starting sighting in the red dot.

Color me impressed - I'm going to keep working on my draw so I can always find the dot quickly from muscle memory, but in terms of accuracy, I am totally impressed. My shooting glasses with corrective lenses are now obsolete (at least with this pistol)! What fun to feel like you have young eyes again!

By contrast, this is what my 25 yd target looked like with open sights previously - when the sights were just a blur.

Mine is holding up. Not a fan of the green cuz my astigmatism but love that I can use the factory style irons

Any 10mm updates on the SCS?

Mine is still running smooth. No problems. Made its first kill this week. A brave, but stupid, ground squirrel down by the garden. Usually carry a 10-22 when I’m down there but that morning all I had was my 29. 10mm 1, squirrel 0.
