Picked up a Holoson ACSS VULCAN 507C.

[Rebel_Rider1969]

For my Daily Dagger. Outdoor knock around pistol for life on the frontier ( Range,Al)

It's the 507C. Has the chevron reticle and outer circle that you can only see when NOT ON TARGET. You can turn it off but why would you?
Makes finding the dot effortless. If you see the outer ring, shift back and boom there's the dot.
You probably saying why would I need that? I've spent 242 hours practicing my draw, dry firing and two handed stance. Well, shoot from the ground, shoot off handed or one handed. Use crap cover where your not in your proper target range stance. Ya know like if someone was trying to end you in the real world.
3 mins playing with it and I had it figured out. Left outer circle, shift left. Bottom of circle shift down etc..
Wanna shoot gangster style? Go ahead. You can ding the steel and impress the homies.

I think it's great. You don't EVER see the outer ring unless your off point.

Drop comp built in, yep thats right. No guessing what you need for 50 yards or even 100. 0 at 25 and go shoot stuff. Chevron point 25. Just under point 50, Bottom of chevron 100. (115gr)
Solar and battery. Something like 30k hours. Tray for battery is on the side so no taking it off to change, so no loss of zero.

Very pleased with this, did I mention it's in green the new cool? Unlike red that looks like a road flare with my crap eyes the green is crystal clear. I have 3 of the green ones. And love em. Also have a red sig Romeo zero that looks like a Nike swoop.
It would also be handy on a carbine.
Food for thought... ** its a Primary Arms exclusive optic btw.

Welcome to the club! I have 4-5 ACSS equipped pistols and they are all great.

Having the large ring on will shorten battery life; however you will notice the degradation of the battery life near the end with the dimming of the reticle slowly. Once you notice it's getting dimmer, change the battery. And even so, they last a long time.

Still enjoying this sight. Super easy to draw off hand or one handed and get on target quick. Using on my Daily Dagger while building. By the end of the day it's full of crap. But Still working.
In all seriousness yall should look thru one and check it out and "go green" the right way.

I've got one I run on my duty dagger ( I beat the shit out of it before deciding it worked for duty). And I'm pretty happy with it. Pretty sure mine is sans circle and runs the chevron reticle.
I notice yours has same item number as mine but has the circle/dot, mine has the chevron. Haven't looked to see if there's a way to change the reticle or if that's a normal thing.

I still have my 507s, but switched to the HE 509 ACSS on two carry G19s (enclosed emitter). Also have an EPS-Carry on another for the same reason.

I don't think an open emitter is a huge issue but as you say, if working hard it can get filled up with junk while a closed emitter won't.

No it has the chevron and circle.

There is a way to change it, look at the instructions - if you don't have them, they are on the PA webpage on the lower left side they have the manual to download, sorry I can't link to it directly.

2 modes, circle and chevron or just chevron.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Played with it more today. Shot from prone, kneeling, leaning, lying on ground left, right two handed, one handed, sideways, behind cover. Just about anything I could come up with still quickly hitting the target. Did a boo boo and cut the top of my right thumb, my improvised improper grip. 8 inch gong ranges from 12 feet to 100 yards. Drop comp chevron works.
I'm telling ya this is a good design. Makes me feel like John Wick.

Nice review. I love my 507. I saw the vulcan sight and thought it was a great idea. But didn't know you could change reticle between chevron and dot. Good to know. I prefer red cause I feel the green will wash out with all the flora, especially in the spring with all the bright green colors.

 

[RHINOWSO]

I had an extra one that moved off a pistol and is now on a Rossi R92 / 357. With the 'middle age eyes' effect going on, the Chevron is far easier to use than the irons and ringing steel at 100-125yds is easy peasy.

You can't change it. Chevron only. No dot. It's 10 moa and you can range off of it.

Really can't say enough good things about this optic. You owe it to yourselves to check one out.

They are pretty great - traded my holosun red dots for the new green Vulcan sights. Love the chevron and the big ring

I know right? Have no idea why these aren't more popular?

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Now the dilemma, what to use on a hunting 45 acp G41? 507c, ACSS or SCS - holosun. All green led, all solar. Bullseye, circle, dot or chevron.

 

[RHINOWSO]

I prefer the chevron.

Dots and circles aren't bad and I use them when I don't have any other options.

The chevron works as a drop comp on the Acss for 115gr 9mm. Wonder how it would work for 45?

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Still liking it, you guys need to check these out!!

 

[RHINOWSO]

Yeah, mine are pimp on the lever-action 357/38s. Zeroed at 50yds w/38s and can easily ring torso plates at 100-125yds by making the ^ the "hat" of the target. "PING"
