Wow this will be what I wait for. I’m sure it won’t be cheap. Assuming 329ish.

including the adapter plate is amazing too. Finally, a product to be excited for.

 

$400.00 the cheapest I've found.. but will probably get after I get slide work done on my non mos 43x

 

What does this offer that the eps carry doesn’t? The lack of a user serviceable battery kind of turns me off. It’s so easy and cheap to trade out batteries on an eps carry 1x per year.

 

Arguably not much. Even if you wanted open emitter only, the 407/507k are avaliable at a cheaper price point. In my mind, the SCS standard is more interesting on full size guns because they offer true cowitiness and a lower height w/o plates. Though that will have competition with CHPWS offering their own MOS compatible optic that actually allows user serviceable batteries, though it remains to be seen if they are true co-witness. Probably not based on the deck height

C&H Direct Mount Optic for Glock MOS Optics Ready Pistols (G17, G19, G20, G21, G22, G23, G34, G35, G40, G41, G45, G47) - C&H Precision

Green Multi Reticle COMING SOON Introducing the C&H Direct Mount Optic for Glock MOS optics ready pistols (G17, G19, G20, G21, G22, G23, G34, G35, G40, G41, G45, G47). No adapter plate required. The MOS-DMO is a rugged, compact pistol optic that is as good for concealed carry as it is for duty...

The advantage the SCS still offers is transitioning from irons to dot is so much easier since you have that true co-witness.

 

True co witness and SCS are direct mount. No plate.

 

 

This is most excellent news!!

 

Yes

 

I might be interested, but I do wish red was an option. My current favorite carry RDS is the EPS Carry MRS in red.

 

The G4X/48 MOS slides do not use an adapter plate. Any optic that uses the RMSc footprint mounts directly to the slide.

 

Yes. We know.

 

Looks like Holosun is really stepping up.

 

It is NOT direct mount on your typical 43x/48

 

You beat me to it. if the 43/8X MOS uses an "orthodox" RMSc footprint, a Holosun K footprint optic WON'T direct mount. This is one of the big negatives of the Holosun K line. They need to figure out how to make their optics work with the strict RMSc footprint.

Have yet to see a pic of this on a 43x or 48mos

 

I would still rather have the EPS carry and wish it was out when I bought my 407k. I’m still thinking of changing it out.

 

407k really seems like the ultimate best bang for the buck. Would it really justify basically double the price?

 

I’ll keep my EPS Carry MRS on my 43X & 48.

 

As much as I love the EPS (I own 3) I would like to try out an SCS Carry. Mum seems to be the word as to when they’ll actually come out, however.

 

Tried, really tried, to make the SCS MOS GRN work, but returned for a 507COMP GRN.

Why?

The SCS MOS is not manually dimmable. When shooting on an indoor range at longer distances 40'+, when the target is relatively smaller, using even just the dot is so bright it washes out the center of the target and you are left just guessing. True the SCS MOS has automatic brightness control, and brightness can be manually turned up some, but not manually down. I thought at purchase that Holosun would have this figured out , and would adjust automatically down under bright indoor lighting, but it is not the case. Outdoors the automatic brightness is OK, but would still rather control like a standard 507.

Perhaps more important, for carry or home defense use, SCS MOS does not have shake awake. It has to be manually turned on (and off), not optimal in critical situations.

Note that the SCS MOS fits full width Glock MOS, but does not the narrow 43X which uses the K series Holosuns. I have both, a 43XMOS with a 507K GRN and a G34MOS now with a 507COMP GRN, and also 510 on a carbine.

There's no need to ever turn it off. Keep it on 24/7 all year. A single full charge will last 2.28 YEARS when left ON 24/7. It's in the instructions. Why would you think you have to keep turning it on & off every time you use it? Information is power. Read the instructions. It's literally designed to be left ON all the time. Top it off with a full charge once a year by placing the disassembled slide in a sunny spot for a day, like on your dresser or window sill. Otherwise it will stay charged just with occassional use in a lighted area.

It's direct mount to the 43x no?
