If you were looking for something exciting from this year’s Shot Show, in Las Vegas, it had to be Holosun’s exhibit. I had a chance to chat with some super folks from the City of Commerce, in Los Angeles and received a guided tour of what’s next from a company that’s seen a meteoric rise in their markets. As all of you know, Holosun pioneered the integration of a solar panel on a weapon mounted red dot sight, a huge benefit when it comes to run times. For 2023, they continue that design but are now recharging an internal battery from the solar panel, a system  branded as SCS (Solar Charging Sight). The internal battery will power the SCS host sight for 20,000 hours of continuous use. The SCS sights will be available for the GLOCK MOS, H&K VP9, SIG SAUER P320 and Smith & Wesson M&P. All of the sights ship with a 2MOA dot but can be switched to Holosun’s MRS (Multi-Reticle System). The SCS sights will be available in green and I believe the guys said red as well . You’ll start to see them Q2 of 2023. GLOCK MOS green sights are shipping already.

HOLOSUN SCS SIGHT

Also new for 2023, Holosun’s SCRS (Solar Charging Rifle Sight). In a addition to the solar charging feature the SCRS is as light and compact as you can get and still feature a 20mm tube. The first thing coming to mind when I saw this sight is the HK MP5 or MP7 in an SBR configuration, an ideal sight for the compact platforms. The dot intensity has two modes of operation: manual, which can be controlled via the nicely raised button or an automatic mode that uses a multidirectional light sensor, a feature that should eliminate the issues associated with firing from a poorly lite position into bright sunlight and finding that your reticle is so dim that you loose it in bright light. The SCRS is also a Q2 2023 availability.

Holosun surprised attendees when they announced two new sights: the DRS-NV (Digital Reflex Sight-Night Vision) and the DRS-TH (Digital Reflex Sight-Thermal) you won’t see these sights until Q4 of 2023 but they will knock your socks off. Both of these sights will support photo and video capabilities as well as recharging via a USB-C cable. Holosun is still working on features so the final design will likely be slightly different than what I’m showing here..
