I own the HM3X. I prefer it over the titanium model as it is longer and mounted at the very back of my picatinny. I find that the little bit of extra tube length gets the eyepiece closer to my eye when my stock is extended.
I have both of these magnifiers and theyve been great! I have two paired with the Holosun 510, and one paired with an Aimpoint PRO. I prefer the Aluminum offerig simply for the tube length. Also he forgot to mention something that our Lefty Friends will enjoy...you can switch which side the optic flips to by removing the two mounting screws on the bottom and turning tbe optic around. Very simple and straight forward. Cheers!
I really wish holosun would come out with a 4x and 5x magnifier, perhaps with some ranging or 5.56 holdoff stadia like acog style BDC without touching the center section of course.
That’s exactly what I was going to ask for my question would be. Since it’s longer, it may give you the ability to have more relief with your head further back on the stock?
Question - can the magnifiers be flipped on the mounts so they will flip to the left (instead of the right) for us left handed shooters? Thanks - Great reviews on all the Holosun products.
Yup very easy to switch it over, it’s just the two screws at the bottom. We show how to do it in this video: th-cam.com/video/mQQiMCWO0v0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GzKqA5k7IJBkmxSA
Hey. Bought 2 optics for pistols from you. Great company and service. Just got my first rifle, an AR10 and had a scope installed. I don’t understand red dots and magnifiers for rifles and you did not explain how these are used in conjunction with a red dot on a rifle if they are. Ty.
Watch this for the Holosun rifle lineup: th-cam.com/video/CI5QdF5auH8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9wcUSORSXZBD4rDZ We’ll make a video explaining red dots plus magnifiers and if you have any questions, hit us up on chat, email, text!
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but having a titanium housing only increases strength of the body…. It doesn’t do anything to prevent shock damage which is what 99.999% of all causes of destruction will be. So the T model makes no sense to me.
@@TooManyChoices1freedom gorilla posted on another comment saying the the titanium version comes with a titanium housing as well as a titanium mount. So it replaces all the aluminum with titanium, according to them
How about the difference in eye relief and the eye box? That's arguably the most important thing about a quick flip-up 3x magnifier. I have a HM3X and its pretty forgiving, I wonder if the HM3XT is any better?
@@freedomgorilla1 Actually it is worse on the titanium but not due to optics but rather the optic itself is shorter so you have to mount it even further back to have the same eye relief technically.
my question is does the aluminum allow for the optic to overhang the charging handle for easier sighting without having to have your face to close to the charging handle?
I'm New to magnifiers - they have holosun green and Red but the magnifiers are red ? And do you need to sight in the holosun and you also need to sight in the magnifier too? I know they're stupid questions but it's the first time I'm getting them.thank you for your time
Joe it’s not a stupid question. The magnifiers have no reticle. They are basically just monoculars. They do have adjustments on them but I’ve never had to adjust my magnifier. All of does is magnify the red dot you put in front of it.
Does the titanium model come with an upgraded mount? In terms of material? I kind of worry about the durability of the hinge over time and am struggling to find reviews regarding it
It’s a great question! Something i was puzzled about too. FOV is the same. I believe the glass is smaller on the titanium one to account for the shorter length. That’s the best i was able to figure it.
@@freedomgorilla1 they have 3xt at shop near me..... I almost bought it 😂. It's funny because I was in there twice yesterday, first time I looked to see if the canik rivals they had were steel frame..... second time I bought a holosun 510c and saw the magnifier. Today I bought a sig Sauer scope for 550. Damn this hobby is expensive.

Simple, straight to the point, great review, thank you!
Yw and thank you!

I’ve heard that from many customers!
Thank you for the brief storytelling, without half hour introductions 😅
I’m glad you appreciate it!

I have been trying to find info on the differents between these two Optics everywhere you have answered my long awaited question, thank you 👍
Awesome! Very happy to hear that
ORDERED The 510c -GR , Tonite !!! The 3XT ( MAYBE 3X ??? ) Is NEXT On My LIST :o)) !!!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!! KEEP UP the AWESOME JOB !!!!!!
Thx! We price match to just fyi. Both are great the compactness of the XT is pretty cool

Hi Fellow! thanx for short and accurate explain...for people with little time this is invaluable! ,,, greetings from Poland.
Thanks for the video man. I've been scratching my brain on which one to get
Your welcome and thank you
Thank you for making this video!
I was wondering this question 7 months ago but here is the video I needed 😂
Your welcome!
Considering the red dot is usually aluminum, and the extra length actually makes the eye relief feel bigger, ill save the money and go aluminum.
That’s exactly what I was going to ask for my question would be. Since it’s longer, it may give you the ability to have more relief with your head further back on the stock?

Good review. I have two HOLOSUN enclosed circle/dot sights. Maybe I'll get one of these magnifiers for my PCC with the AEMS sight.

100%. The mount is still aluminum and is the failure point after.

1:33 it was at this moment my brain heard the voice of wall-e. With that said…. Great review my friend.
Lol thx. Wall-e is one of my favorite movies!
I got to try the co-witness adjustment on mine.
The aluminum one is still strong enough i would think..
Thanks my man! Will get the titanium.
Yw. Excellent choice. We have them in stock
The mount for the micro looks like it sits closer to the rail for optics that don't have risers aswell
I don't have them in front of me but i think the mounts are very similar
I need this bro , great job😆
Thank you

They’re the same

That’s a good question. Technically yes thr aluminum will allow you to mount the rear of the optic closer to your Face if you desired

Just ordered one with a 5% discount code.. going w the 512 gd..
Sweet!

Great question and the titanium version has a titanium Mount also!
At 3:32...... is one backwards? I'm seeing less glass on one, is the field of view the same on both?
It’s a great question! Something i was puzzled about too. FOV is the same. I believe the glass is smaller on the titanium one to account for the shorter length. That’s the best i was able to figure it.

Are they compatible with the aems or 12t?
Yep. Compatible with any red dot
Get the HM3X. It will be easier to use since they both have the same amount of eye relief.
I've heard the HMX3 has better eye relief because its longer so you don't have to but your nose up to the charging handle
Is the Eye Relief comparable?
Yes both are the same
How’s the eye relief on both??
It’s the same. I think 3.5”
What ones better with flip up rear sights?
Both at the same. The T will take up less rails space
Real life giga chad jaw line :d
Boosted Harambe w the GOATED commentary. Stay blessed KING
What is the eye relief on them??
2.75”
Thank you for the info
@@ogwalkonwater1562 sure thing
Aluminum has more eye relief. It’s on the box
Well, since I'm not planning on going to Afghanistan anytime soon, I'll stick with the aluminum one. And spend the extra money on ammo. 🤣😂🤣
Aluminum has a larger eye relief.
They both have the same
@@freedomgorilla1 I put them both on my rifle at the gun store. Check the box if you don’t believe me. Just fyi for anyone wondering
Correction. I apologize. It’s actually the Field of view that’s larger in the hm3x compared to the T version….
@@freedomgorilla1 good content tho. No offense brother
Best review yet! LOL
🇺🇦👍bravo 👍🇺🇦
