The Holosun 407C X2 green is a compact green dot sight with an RMR footprint. It’s one of the entry level optics from Holosun but competes directly with the Trijicon RMR Type 2 LED with the amount of features it offers, it’s just prices hundreds of dollars less.
The 407C X2 is intended for use on full size or compact pistols and will fit any RMR cut slide or adapter plate.
The 407C X2 has a 2 MOA dot which for a long time has been one of the most popular and preferred choices for red dot shooters.
The 407C X2 has a 7075 T6 aluminum housing, solar failsafe, shake awake, side removable battery, IP67 waterproof rating, manual and auto brightness modes, and has 50,000 hours of battery life.
If you are looking for a high quality, reliable, red dot, but don’t want to break the bank, this is the one for you.
This optic has a green reticle. Green has a few benefits:
Green reticles are less straining for the eye to see.
Green reticles can help with astigmatism. If you have astigmatism you will see a blurry dot, we have been told by a few customers that Green dots help with their astigmatism, making the dot look more crisp than the red version.
Green will not washout on backdrops like green grass, foliage, or green colors.
In theory Green dots can have a longer battery life because Green is brighter, so for example a green dot on brightness setting 6 may be the same brightness as a red dot on setting 7 - which would save battery life.
