I need a new handgun...lets talk guns today. :D

True. Great option for sure. One of the mil-guys I shoot with has a setup like that. It definitely works.

 

I am new to AR rifles. Just built my 1st with a 223 Wylde bbl, and have a .30 cal suppressor in ATF jail.

What is the desire to have 556 vs 223 ammo?

 

Holosun 510C + 3x magnifier.

 

https://www.primaryarms.com/primary...-illuminated-acss-raptor-556-308-reticle-yard This is what I’ve got on my “go-to”. A little different than the link you posted. But that one you found I think would be a great one too. It has a top rail to do a red dot later. Mine doesn’t, but it is very easy to acquire up close and reach out within reason, as it’s a fixed magnification

That magnifier is HEAVY though.

 

My setup is an sig 1-6LPVO with a Romeo1Pro offset. It works. It’s on a 12.5. If I do a pistol I’ll do a Primary red dot or Holosun, just to test them out.

 

That’s why the 45° offset with a LPVO was my option. I can turn the gun without losing sight down range or taking my hand off ready. Super fast transitions

 

So this isn't a red dot? red dot, optical, reptical, prism, magnifier, oh my . lol.

 

No, but it’ll serve the same purpose essentially, as a red dot, but with some magnification.

 

I have ARs with the 1x6 Sig LPVO an a 1x10 LPVO. I like both of them. No red dots on them.

On my Staccato P I have a Delta Point Pro, and I just ordered an EOTech for my Sig P320 DH3 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9S1HGTB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1) Both those handguns have the slide machined to accept a Delta Point footprint with no
adapter plate, so it will sit a little more flush than with a plate. And they both allow for battery replacement without removal like Holosuns.

I have Holosun dots on my PCC's and my Canik's.

My PDP has a Trijicon that came with it as it was a used gun. Only thing, I dread the battery replacement on that.

Other than that...I have zero complaints about any of my optics.

 

What about in the middle of the night in a home defense situation? A dot would be better for home defense, no?

 

Think im gonna get this or the 403 without the 'circle' around the dot and no solar panel which is over $100 less, at $168.

I have one very similar to that on a PCC...it works nicely...and yes..the solar panel is pretty unnecessary.

 

I’d go with the 403. I actually had one before the 510. The battery life is stupid long and the solar panel on all the Holosuns is gimmicky at best. I had no gripes about the 403 until I actually shot a rifle with an Eotech which the 510 is basically a knockoff of. I prefer the bigger window.

The 403 will be a good starting point to figure out what you do and don’t like. An AR is never really finished. In a year or so you’ll probably have enough parts laying around to build another one out of stuff you tried.

 

The 403 will be here tomo.
I have a 407k green on my canik rival

Figured id stay with what im familiar with for now

 

I've used the Vortex 3x optic. It's 11.8oz
A 1-6x Strike Eagle scope is 18.x oz

I've got my 300BO and my AR-pistols both set up with EoTech 512 + 3x
The Holosun wasn't around when I first set them up, so that's the setup I went with.

 

Damn these Florida gun shows! Picked up some new toys yesterday.

 

.38sp.?

 

Doubt you'll start taking my advice now, but I'll offer it anyway... Sit back and wait until 223/556 gets back under 35 cents a round. In the meantime- get you a CMMG .22lr conversion kit with 3 25 round mags (goes on sale often for $170) and have fun and learn the basic operation of your AR for 5 cents a round.
