Review: A fantastic optic - I've become quite the fan of Holosun optics and this one is no different. As an avid shooter that suffers from an astigmatism, your average red dot basically looks like a blurry star to my eyes. Not the case with any Holosun I've ever used, the glass is very clear although there is a slight tint and the reticle is tack sharp. I'm running the 512C on my Daniel Defense DDM4V7 and it's a fantastic combo. The 512C is lightweight, was perfectly zeroed out of the box and not that it matters but looks pretty cool. It's fully enclosed, waterproof and far more durable that anything I would subject my rifle to. The option to run on solar power is a nice addition but I'd stock up on CR2032 batteries just in case, they're cheap and plentiful. Don't be discourage by those that won't buy "Chinese optics" this is a solid product at a very fair price and will operate under harsher conditions than the average shooter will ever subject it to. My only criticism is that it doesn't get quite dim enough for night vision but that's just nitpicking. I'll be picking up another 512C for my home defense rifle.
Review: Great Value - All A Civilian Needs - Great optic for a third of what Eotech charges, and you get a clear reticle unlike the Eotech's blurry reticle. It also has shake-awake, something Eotech doesn't have, and for a home defense gun, I think that's an advantage. Though it doesn't quite give you that wide open feel of the Holosun 510C which I also own and love, it's worth the slight compromise to have a fully sealed optic if you think you might ever need to shoot in bad weather. Remember, open optics can become completely unusable in heavy rain. I've put about 1,000 rounds through my AK with this installed and the rifle has been banged around a good bit as well, but the zero is still perfect. Unless you are planning on being in combat, this is all you need. And by the way, I've seen several videos from Ukraine with guys using this optic, so it must hold up pretty well under harsh conditions.

## Features

- Shake Awake sensor with last setting recall. Auto off when not in use, auto on with slight movement or vibration. Manually off, manually on
- Multi-Reticle system: a 65 MOA circle with 2 MOA dot, a 2 MOA dot only, or a 65 MOA ring only
- Up to 5-years battery life on one CR2032 battery, Completely Enclosed Design
- 12 Brightness Setting: 10 DL & 2 NV Compatible, Multilayer Reflective Glass
- ShakeAwake Technology instantly activates the optic when movement is detected, making the optic always at the ready.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a holographic site? So if you magnify it the dot will not increase in size?**
A: No, it is not a holographic site.  This is a red dot.  I recently purchased this model and really like the optic.

To expand on the question, check out this thread on AR15.com about magnification and holographic reticles; to summarize it - the dot of an EOTech holographic sight DOES get magnified but you can't tell.  https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Does_a_magnifier_magnify_the_reticule_/18-563220/  

Also, if you look at the "Magnification" pictures on the EOTech website, you can see the 68 MOA circle stays the same size in relation to the targets; the edges of the circle are about half-way between the targets at 1X and 3X.  https://www.eotechinc.com/holographic-weapons-technology/holographic-sight-versus-red-dot-sight   

Additionally, here's a YouTube video where you can see it in real time.  https://youtu.be/8DwiI56--YI

**Q: Is it waterproof?**
A: It said IP67  same as Eotech Exp3 or iphone 12 Which means 30 minute for under 3 foot water.

**Q: Has anybody had an issue with this model not turning on after being stored in the dark?  I find myself having to charge it in the sun every 5 days or**
A: Yes. The super capacitor gets too low and you need to put it in the sun for a day.

**Q: Did this ever come in qd? i think i thought the battery lever was a quick detach lever, that sucks**
A: The one I purchased did not and I have never seen one with quick detach. Not to say they don't exist but no is the answer to your question.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent pistol caliber carbine red dot
*by J***I on May 25, 2025*

This is possibly my favorite red dot scope for use on a pistol caliber carbine. I have purchased many different rifle sized enclosed red dots, and the difference this one has is that it's slightly rounded and has a slimmer side profile, so it maintains the same width as my PSA AR-V, Benelli M4, even AR-15s without sacrificing field of view. Most of the rifle sized red dots I've used have a more wide and square outline which can snag and add a bit of top balance issues. I've also found it to be very reliable, even with repeated 12 ga recoil and thousands of rounds of 9mm. Extremely satisfied.
