If you have a Sig Sauer P365x, P365xl, P365 X-Macro, orĀ P365-380 then you know it has an āOptics Readyā slide. This means the slide is milled out so you can bolt on a red dot sight.
What you might not know is exactly which red dot sights fit it.Ā This can be confusing, but we are here to make it simple.
The P365x, P365xl, and P365 X-Macro,Ā P365-380 all have the same optics footprint. The footprint is essentially the bolt pattern. Different red dots have different bolt patterns or footprints. The footprint on these Sig models is the RMSc footprint.
Therefore you will need a red dot that has an RMSc footprint.
The Holosun Red Dots we recommend for the Sig P365x, P365xl, P365 X-Macro, orĀ P365-380 are:
- Holosun 407K X2 Red or 407K X2 Green
- Holosun 507K X2 Red or 507K X2 Green
- HolosunĀ EPS Carry RedĀ andĀ Green
- Holosun 507K ACSS Vulcan Red and Green
The Holosun optic line is a great value hereās whyā¦Ā
- They are affordable but not cheap.Ā
- They are built sturdily with strong aluminum housings and glass.Ā
- They have convenient features like Shake Awake and Side Mounted Batteries.
- They have a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
- They are reliable.
Holosun has two popular lines of red dot pistol sights. The āCā line and the āKā line. The āKā series is slightly smaller for more concealed carry and doesnāt have a solar panel. This is what fits on the Sig P365x, P365xl, P365 X-Macro, andĀ P365-380.Ā
The K series Holosun has a modified RMSc footprint. So itās similar to an RMSc footprint but slightly different. For some pistols you need an adapter plate or some kind of modification but luckily for the Sig P365x, P365xl, P365X-Macro, and P365-380 itās a direct fit - no modification is needed.
Here is some more detail about the Holosun sights we recommend for the Sig P365x, P365xl, P365 X-Macro, orĀ P365-380.
1. Holosun 407K X2 Red Dot
The 407K comes with a 6 MOA dot only. So itās a little bigger than the typical 2 MOA dot, but that's pretty nice for close range.

2. Holosun 507K X2 Red Dot
The 507K comes with the multi reticle system. Which is Holosuns circle plus dot combination. The 507K has a 32 MOA Circle with a 2 MOA dot. The multi reticle system lets you cycle through these so you can use only the 32 MOA Circle, or only the 2 MOA dot if you choose to do so.
The 32 MOA Circle gives the 507K a slight edge when picking up the dot upon drawing from your holster.
Besides those differences both optics are exactly the same. They have the same dimensions, the same batteries, same housing, etc. The only difference is the reticle and the 507K, when using the 32MOA + 2MOA Dot, is rated at 20k hours of battery life vs the 50k if using the dot only. The 407k is rated at 50k hours of battery life.

3 & 4. Holosun 407K X2 Green Dot and 507K X2 Green Dot
Both of these optics come in green dot versions as well. The science behind the green dot is that itās easier for your eyes to pick up, some people say itās brighter, and some people say it also helps with the āstarburstā issue you encounter if you have any astigmatism.

5. HolosunĀ 507K ACSS Vulcan Green &Ā Red Dot
Buy the 507K ACSS Vulcan At The Best Price
The 507K ACSS Vulcan is exactly like the 507K except is has the ACSS Vulcan reticle. This reticle has a 230 MOA dotted outer ring and a 3 MOA center dot.
The purpose of this reticle is to help you find the center dot quickly if you are off center. To learn more about the ACSS Vulcan check out our article here.
The dotted outer ring can be turned off by holding down the "-" button for 3 seconds.
The main advantage of the ACSS Vulcan reticle is to be able to find the center dot quickly when drawing the pistol.
All the features are the same as the 507K except for the reticle, and this is available in both red & green.
6. Holosun EPS Carry - Closed Emitter Option
*Note: If you plan on getting the EPS Carry for your P365, it will mount directly to your slide with the included screws, however you will need to use the included adapter plate as the screws are slightly too long to sit down tight without it. If you want to eliminate the need for the adapter plate you can buy these EPS Carry P365 Screws which let you tighten down the optic without the need for the adapter plate.
The EPS Carry is very similar to the 407K and 507K except it has one major difference, it is an enclosed emitter optic.Ā Ā
This means the laser emitter is protected by a hood. So dirt, mud, or debris will never get in the way of the emitter to distort the reticle.Ā
Features:
- MRS Reticle or 2 MOA Reticle or 6 MOA ReticleĀ
- Shake Awake
- 50,000 Hr Battery Life
- Removable Side Battery
- IPX8 Waterproof
- 8 Daylight Brightness Settings and 4 Night Vision
- Aluminum Housing
- Enclosed Emitter
The EPS Carry comes in red or green reticles.
There are 3 versions of the EPS Carry.Ā
A 2 MOA Dot, 6 MOA Dot, and MRS version.
The MRS version has a solar panel on it which acts as a solar fail safe to power the reticle of the battery dies. It also gives you an extra auto brightness feature which can be toggled on or off.Ā

Choosing between Red or Green Reticles

You may be wondering if you should get a red or green dot reticle. We get this question a lot so I am going to list a few bullet points for you to consider.
- 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.

Choosing between Open vs Closed Emitters
The simplest way we can break down open vs closed emitters is to look at how you plan on carrying the pistol. If you plan on being outdoors in the elements with rain, snow, sleet, then a closed emitter will be beneficial.
If you plan on carrying OWB most of the time and plan on being outside then closed emitter would be beneficial.
If you plan on carrying IWB or don't plan on being outside using your red dot in the pouring rain or heavy snow then an open reflex is fine.
Open reflexes will still work in the rain or snow but the closed emitter will give you extra peace of mind.
An open reflex can collect dust and debris on the inside of the reticle over time, so you'll want to clean it out from time to time. An enclosed emitter is easier to clean in this aspect.
