For many new shooters its even easier because its easier to see the sight, just like it is on a rifle. ], M1 Garand Review (One Of The Best Milsurp Rifles You Can Get!). 507 0 obj <>stream Once again, we have a category in which these two sights have a lot of significant differences, To start off with, they both have pretty long battery life and an auto on/auto off feature (the Shake Awake and the MOTAC system), But that being said, the battery life on the Holosun 507k is significantly longer than the battery life on the Romeo Zero, and when it comes time to change the battery, With the 507k you can simply change it without removing the sight from your gun, Whereas with the Romeo Zero, you will have to remove the optic to change the battery, and then youll have to re-mount it and re-zero it, which is a huge hassle, Aside from that, the 507k includes 2 NV settings just in case you end up wanting to run your sight in the dark, And it has the Lock Mode, which you can use to lock in the perfect brightness level, So in the end, I think this is another category in which the Holosun 507k comes out as the clear winner, The Holosun 507k comes with one CR1632 battery. Stay in the know. Their weapons are the choice for many of the worlds elite military, LE (Law Enforcement) officers, and civilian shooters who demand reliability.

Like I said earlier, thats a huge hassle, and it really makes changing out the battery a lot longer process than it should be, Now on a more positive note, the Romeo Zero features the MOTAC system which stands for Motion Activated Illumination, and its basically the same thing as the Holosun Shake Awake feature, So your optic will automatically turn off after a period of non use which will save you battery life, and it will automatically turn on as soon as you touch your gun, Now with the Romeo Zero you get a total of 8 daylight brightness settings, Like the settings on the 507k, they get very bright on the high end, and you wont have any problems with your reticle washing out on a sunny day. Given their time on the trigger, they are practiced at indexing through the screen. A dot sight is classed as a weapon optic.

The smallest and most compact of the bunch, a micro red dot, or MRD, known as the 1x24 Romeo Zero weighs only half an ounce in its most abbreviated configuration due to its ultralight polymer housing-- so light, in fact, that it can run successfully on a .22 rimfire pistol without bogging down the slide. Both the Delta Point Pro and Trijicons RMR / SRS have secured military contracts making them solid and proven choices. More and more people are discovering what an advantage it is to have an optic on their pistol, Yes, there are some people out there who are still resisting it, but the truth is, that an optic on your pistol helps you shoot faster and more accurately, Its actually been fairly common to put optics on larger handguns for a few years, but now, a lot of people are mounting optics on their concealed carry guns, And since these guns are usually slim, single stack handguns, your typical optics like the Trijicon RMR and the Holosun 507c are simply too big, So more and more manufacturers are starting to produce tiny optics designed for these single stack concealed carry guns, and right now, two of the most talked-about options are, So in this Holosun 507k Vs Romeo Zero comparison, were going to see how these two little optics stack up to each other in the following 6 categories, In the end, Ill tell you if I prefer the 507k or the Romeo Zero, and you should have all the information you need to determine which optic will work best for you, Lets start by taking a closer look at the durability and toughness of these two optics, The Holosun 507k is a very durable little optic.

More specifically, it should be on target wherever it is on the glass. Ever looked at the sights on a GI M1911? Whichever dot sight configuration you choose, adding a dot optic is advantageous.

One of the other notable upgrades to the new Elite optic is a high-tech polymer housing that resists shock and protects the optic from damage. Size Comparison.

Both of them are recessed into the site housing, And that prevents them from ever getting bumped accidentally or even snapped off, which is something that can happen on red dot sights, The Holosun 507k is also waterproof. First of all, the 507k is a much more durable optic than the Romeo Zero, It has a high quality aluminum sight housing, as opposed to the polymer housing found on the Romeo Zero, and its simply a much tougher red dot sight, Thats an extremely important feature if youre mounting the optic on a gun that could be used for self defense, which is the case for a concealed carry gun, In addition to that, I prefer the Multiple Reticle System on the 507k over the fixed dot options on the Romeo Zero, Like I said earlier, I really like the Circle Dot Reticle because it helps you shoot faster without sacrificing accuracy, but with the 507k, youll be able to play around with all 3 reticles before you settle in on which one is right for you, The battery life on the 507k is also much longer than the battery life in the Romeo Zero.
