@@Being_Joe I’d go with the 407k (6 moa dot) for 20-25yds and under, and I do prefer the green. If you want to do plinking past 25yds at the range I’d go with the 507k to be able to turn the circle ⭕️ off and just have the 2 moa dot.
@@Being_Joe Yes, the 6 moa dot of the 407k is better for close distances and rapid acquisition, but you can achieve pretty much the same thing with the 507k with both the large circle on along with dot. Strictly self defense and close range I’d go with the 407k, and save some money as a bonus. Hope that helps at least some.
@@KD-lb9bg Yes it does help. I am in no rush and will probably stick with iron sights for now and wait for a deal. I was wondering if the outer circle would make a difference. Thanks.
Unfortunately the camera really doesn't show what the Red Dot looks like. I have both models. The dot is clear bright and large. Super easy to pick up. I thought it was going to be an issue due to the smaller housing size. Happy that I was wrong. Outstanding sight for the money
At the distance that you have the camera from the RUSSIAN, the reticle is reduced in size far smaller than it would normally appear when holding a pistol in standard presentation. Even using a RDS on an offset mount on a rifle, I doubt the RDS would be that close to a user's eye. The further you get from it, the larger the reticle appears in the window.
Thanks for reshooting that good look at the two optics. For my purposes and budget, I'll go with the 407 green with 6 MOA. This was a helpful video illustrating the direct visual comparison.
I actually owned the 507k first and mistakenly bought the 407k because they look identical, but the red dots don't. The 507 dot is much smaller and sharper (which is why it's a better MOA) while the 407 looks like a perfect magic marker dot. All depends on the budget. I'm pretty happy with both.
I like the 507k GR. It's an excellent dot sight and I like the fact I can change between the 3 reticle's. More models now come with the 32moa ring and 2moa dot so Holosun really likes that system as well.
@@ParadoxZer0 Naw I just have severe astigmatism in both eyes and I dont see that reticle well, its just too much going on. My eps carry has the crispest dot of any optic I own and it even gets a bit blurry in certain lighting conditions.
The 6 MOA dot is better in my opinion, It's easier to see it especially in the daylight. The 2 MOA dot is a bit too small. Holosun should make a 3 MOA dot instead of 2, I think 6 MOA is perfect.
The 407k is just a 6 moa dot, all you can change is it's brightness level with 10 selections. Yes, they both are available in green, you'll need to look around for availability locally or shop online.
What is the OSP Hellcat pro cut for? What is red dots fit that? I find it hard to find these answers, I’ve seen it needs an adaptor plate for the 407/507k
As far as shotguns go, I'd go with new beretta a300 patrol, it's lighter plus you can ghost load an extra round for a total of 9. Have the 407 on mine ❤it
@Parad0x Zero Yea, but good info. I'm looking for a good green dot reflex sight that doesn't break the bank. I've got a $40 green & red reflex sight on one of my air guns and it's awesome, but I'm concerned that on a "real" gun it wouldn't be able to stand the recoil shock. So I've been watching and reading a lot of reviews on the more economical options. Your videos are very helpful.
I appreciate you getting right to the point. Great vid, just gained a sub.
yea man getting right to the point is always appreciated. not like nowadays youtubers as whole.
I own 2 of the Holosun 407K X2 in Green. They are my favorite sights for a pistol.
I've got a 507k with a red dot, think I'm going to get a 407k with a green dot.
Dang nice garden 🏡, thanks. 👍🏻
Which do you prefer? I am leaning towards a green dot. Is the extra price worth it for the 507k?

@@KD-lb9bg I am a new shooter and I heas the 6MOA is better for self defense, though that 507 circles do look sexy.

I like the dot with ring better. Easier to pick up.

The reticle can be changed so it's best to have all the options
Thanks for this! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the great video. I could see the dots fine. Thanks for sharing.
Do a "distance comparison test" as far as different targets or objects and how much the "dots" compare on an object
Man if only the holosun multi reticle looked that crisp to my eyes in real time.. looks like a swatted fly on a window in real life.
Maybe you've got a bad emitter? All the Holosuns I own are crystal clear.

At arms length do the dots look bigger than in this video ?
They do. A lot bigger.
So the 407 can’t change how the dots look? Only the 507 can do that?
And do any of these 407 or 507 come in green?? Thanks!

Excellent work. Thank you.
I actually like the 407k dot better...i just like the small little dot, nothing to it
Does these two optics have the same exact footprint and exactly the same housing/body or different? I only have the hs507k x2. Asking a friend.
Yes, the rmsc
What is the OSP Hellcat pro cut for? What is red dots fit that? I find it hard to find these answers, I’ve seen it needs an adaptor plate for the 407/507k
Beautiful scenery!
any experience using the notch as the rear iron sight? if so is it accurate?
I've used the Holosun rear notch on my p365 and it works perfectly fine when you lose the factory rear sight.
@@ParadoxZer0 thanks!
Thanks!
Does the ring on the 507k look larger on the shotgun than in the video?
Yes it's all about eye placement, the camera really doesn't do it justice. Pick one up and give it a look at your LGS.
Optics look clearer on the left.
Haha I just got a moss 940 PT aswell & im contemplated on which one I should get. I think ima go with the 507k gr
Excellent choice on shotgun and optic. The EPS is a enclosed micro dot that'll work too.
@@ParadoxZer0 those are abit more pricey lol. But i think ima order the 507k
BTW i own the 407 on my Cz p07 👍
Nice man, can never go wrong with the 407k. The garden is all the workof the Mrs, I just keep it trimmed up.
@@ParadoxZer0 Same Here😂 greetings from Swiss 🇨🇭
How you like it? I'm about to go that route love my p07
Will the 407 fit the 43x
Not sure man,if it has the rmsc footprint it will. If not I'm sure there are adapter plates available.
You have to get a adapter plate. Either that or bevel down the 2 rear plastic posts once you remove the mos plate. But I didn't trust myself doin that
507k is better all around. The extra few bucks is worth it to buy the 507k.
I own a few Holosun optics.
507K
507C x2
507C x2 ACSS
Great video
Nice Garden
I liked the 6 MOA dot best and just purchased the 407K in Red Dot.
Do you have a preference of which model? And why. Great video thanks!
I prefer the 407k on my pistol, it catches my eye faster than looking for the 2 moa dot on the 507k.
I like the 507k the last video you couldn’t really tell but this video makes a difference on both
where do you live? it's beautiful
Helpful video. It made it easier for me to make a decision
Red or green dot?
Is there a difference in size of the box in regards to the packaging?
No they are both exactly the same size, just the reticle is different.
As far as shotguns go, I'd go with new beretta a300 patrol, it's lighter plus you can ghost load an extra round for a total of 9. Have the 407 on mine ❤it
Wait I thought the dot moved as the gun moves??? It’s that not how it works the dot always stays at the same place as you move the glass gun around??
The doesn't move. He was moving the camera.
Thanks but it seems just as shaky as the other video.
Guess it's a good thing I didn't quit my day job 😆
