Top 19 CZ P10 Optics Ready Holosun Optics - Red & Green Dot Sights + Adapter Plates

The CZ P10 Optics Ready variants are some of the best quality and value-driven striker-fired pistols you can buy. Picking the right optic is easy once you know the footprint situation, and that’s exactly what this guide covers.

In this guide, we’re going to tell you which Holosun Red and Green Dot sights fit your CZ P10 OR, which adapter plates you’ll need, and a full breakdown of the features and benefits of each optic.

To learn more, keep reading!

Which CZ P10 models does this apply to?

This guide covers all of the CZ P10 Optics Ready variants, including:

• CZ P-10 C Optics-Ready (compact) / CZ P-10 C OR SR
• CZ P-10 F Optics-Ready (full-size) / CZ P-10 F Competition-Ready / CZ P-10 F OR SR
• CZ P-10 S Optics-Ready (sub-compact)

The key detail: only models with the “OR” (Optics Ready) designation have a milled slide from the factory. If your P10 doesn’t have the OR designation, the slide isn’t cut, and you’ll need a gunsmith to mill it before any optic can be mounted.

All of the CZ P10 OR variants share the same proprietary slide cut, so every adapter plate and optic in this guide applies equally across the C, F, and S models.

Note: these prices are ballpark estimates to give you an idea of what to expect. Verify current pricing before purchase, since prices fluctuate.

Why do we recommend Holosun Optics vs other options?

• They’re a strong combination of quality and affordability.
• They have some of the longest battery life in their class — the 407C/507C-family optics offer up to 50,000 hours (and the newer X3 models push that to 100,000 hours) at moderate brightness on a single battery, and batteries can be swapped without removing the optic.
• They come in red, green, and now gold reticles, with different sizes and styles.
• Housings are built from 7075 aluminum or titanium with quality glass.
• Convenient features include Shake Awake, easy-to-press brightness buttons, and side-mounted batteries.
• Several models include a solar panel (Solar Failsafe) that keeps the optic running if the battery dies.
• Every Holosun comes backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
• They’re reliable, IP67/IPX8 waterproof, and have a proven track record with millions of optics sold over the last 10+ years.

When you compare Holosun to Leupold, Trijicon, Crimson Trace, Burris, Bushnell, Aimpoint, or others, Holosun consistently wins on features per dollar. A Holosun 507C retails for roughly $200–$250, compared to $500+ for a comparable Trijicon RMR Type 2, with more features, longer battery life, and that same proven track record.

What optics footprint is the CZ P10 Optics Ready?

The CZ P10 uses a proprietary cut slide and requires you to purchase an adapter plate — it does not come with one from the factory. This is why an adapter plate is mandatory. Without one, no Holosun optic will sit flush or torque down correctly on the slide.

The good news is that the proprietary footprint is identical across the P10C OR, P10F OR, and P10S OR, so one adapter plate recommendation covers all three models.

What adapter plates exist for the CZ P10 Optics Ready?

Luckily, there are several quality aftermarket and Holosun-branded adapter plates available for the CZ P10 OR. This guide recommends RMR footprint and modified RMSc/K-Series footprint optics, and the plates below cover both categories.

Quick reference: for the 407K, 507K, EPS Carry, EPS, EPS Core, or AEMS Micro, use the K-series plate. For the 407C, 507C, 508T, 407 Comp, or 507 Comp, use the full-size RMR plate.

The Calculated Kinetics and CHPWS plates are both machined from 6061 aluminum and are two of the most recommended aftermarket options.

Installation Notes

A few things to get right before you torque anything down:

• Use blue Loctite (242) on the adapter plate screws, not red. You may need to remove the plate again down the road, and red thread locker makes that a headache.
• Torque adapter plate screws to 15–18 in-lbs. Over-torquing can crack the plate.
• Torque optic mounting screws to the manufacturer spec, typically 9–15 in-lbs for Holosun models.
• A torque wrench or an in-lb limiter takes the guesswork out of this step and helps you avoid cracked plates or a loose optic that walks off zero.

Best Direct Mount Holosun Optics for the CZ P10 Optics Ready

The optic below mounts directly to the slide with no adapter plate required.

1. Holosun SCS P10 Green Dot - Best Direct Mount Option

Buy the SCS P10 at the Best Price

The SCS P10 was built specifically for the CZ P10 Optics Ready models. It fits directly on the slide with no modification needed and matches the slide serrations exactly. This gives you the lowest deck height of any option in this guide, which allows you to co-witness your low iron sights without any riser.

It has an internal rechargeable battery with a 20K-hour power reserve that’s constantly being recharged from natural and artificial light sources — the optic charges faster than it consumes. It uses the MRS (Multi Reticle System) and is available in green dot only. Reticle options are the 2 MOA dot, 2 MOA dot + 32 MOA circle, or 32 MOA circle only.

This model doesn’t have Shake Awake. Holosun’s recommendation is to leave it on; it will stay on and keep recharging. There’s a power-off button if you need it.

Because the SCS P10 sits flush with the slide serrations, it doesn’t add meaningful height to your holster draw. Most standard P10 holsters with optic cuts will accommodate it.

This optic is a great option if you’re looking for something super sleek where you never have to worry about batteries. Just turn it on and keep it on!

Note: the SCS P10 is green dot only; there’s no red reticle version.

Best RMR Footprint Holosun Optics for the CZ P10 Optics Ready - Larger Optics

The optics below use the RMR footprint and require the CHPWS CZ P10 407C/507C/508T Adapter Plate to mount on your P10 OR slide (unless otherwise noted below). They’re larger than the direct-mount SCS P10, offer bigger windows, and will have a slight overhang on the slide. 

1. Holosun 407C Green & Red Dot - Best Budget Option

Buy the 407C at the Best Price

The 407C is the most budget-friendly option in this guide. It runs a single 2 MOA dot reticle, no ring or switching. The housing is aluminum.

If you want the simplest possible reticle and don’t need the circle option, the 407C is the right call. Battery life is rated at up to 50,000 hours at setting 6 of 10 on the CR1632. If you think you might ever want the circle reticle, step up to the 507C instead.

It has Shake Awake, a side-removable battery, Solar Failsafe with auto or manual brightness modes, 10 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, and IP67 waterproofing.

Bottom line: the 407C is a solid pick for EDC shooters who want set-it-and-forget-it battery management and a clean, single-dot reticle at the lowest price point in this guide.

2. Holosun 507C Green & Red Dot - Best All-Around Option

Buy the 507C at the Best Price

The 507C-X2 is the current production model and the most popular Holosun pistol optic in this guide. Compared to the original 507C, the X2 added a larger, easier-to-press brightness button and a refined housing.

It’s available in red or green reticles. The MRS (Multi Reticle System) gives you a 32 MOA ring + 2 MOA dot, the 32 MOA ring only, or the 2 MOA dot only — toggle between them by holding the “-” button for 3 seconds.

Battery life is up to 50,000 hours at medium brightness on a single CR1632. The 507C-X2 also has some of the widest holster compatibility of any model in this guide.

It has Shake Awake, a side-removable battery, Solar Failsafe with auto or manual brightness modes, 10 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, and IP67 waterproofing.

Bottom line: the 507C-X2 is the best all-around pick for most P10 OR owners. It has proven reticle options, long battery life, and broad holster support.

3. Holosun 507C ACSS Vulcan Green & Red Dot - Best Specialty Option

Buy the 507C ACSS Vulcan at the Best Price

The 507C ACSS Vulcan may pique your interest. It’s just like the 507C except it has the ACSS Vulcan reticle. This reticle features a 250 MOA ring and a 10 MOA chevron – sounds crazy, right? Well, it’s crazy awesome! It helps new red dot shooters and experts alike and allows for the most precision of all the optics mentioned here.

The 250 MOA ring also helps you find the center quickly when you’re off target. The 10 MOA chevron functions as a BDC reticle and gives you a precise aiming point for accuracy work.

It’s available in red or green reticles. You can toggle the outer ring off by holding the “-” button for 3 seconds. It has Shake Awake, a side-removable battery, Solar Failsafe with auto or manual brightness modes, 10 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, and IP67 waterproofing.

Bottom line: if you want the most reticle versatility and precision capability in an open emitter, the 507C ACSS Vulcan is the pick.

Note: the ACSS Vulcan requires its own dedicated adapter plate — the CHPWS CZ P10 509 ACSS Vulcan Adapter Plate — because the optic body differs slightly from the standard 507C footprint.

You can learn more about the ACSS reticle in our guide here.

4. Holosun 508T Green & Red Dot - Most Durable Open Emitter

Buy the 508T at the Best Price

Next on the list is the Holosun 508T. It’s similar to the 507C except it steps up to a titanium housing and a square window that’s a little bigger. Titanium is roughly 45% lighter than steel at equivalent strength, so the 508T gets a meaningful durability upgrade without becoming a steel-weight optic.

The square window gives a slightly larger usable sight picture than the 507C’s round-cornered window, which some shooters prefer for target tracking.

It’s available in red or green reticles and comes with Holosun’s Multi Reticle System — a 32 MOA ring + 2 MOA dot, toggleable to just the ring or just the dot by holding down the “-” button for 3 seconds.

It has Shake Awake, a side-removable battery, Solar Failsafe with auto or manual brightness modes, 10 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, and IP67 waterproofing.

Bottom line: the 508T is the right pick if you want an open emitter that can take more abuse than an aluminum-housed optic without going to a fully enclosed design.

Read our full 508T review here.

5. Holosun 509T Green & Red Dot - Most Durable Closed Emitter

Buy the 509T at the Best Price

The 509T is the most heavy-duty pistol optic Holosun makes. It’s an enclosed emitter with a titanium housing — the titanium is there for durability, not weight savings.

To mount it on your CZ P10 OR, you’ll need the CHPWS CZ P10 509T Adapter Plate or the Holosun CZ P10 509T Adapter Plate. The 509T ships with its own RMR adapter plate, but that plate doesn’t fit the P10 OR slide directly.

The enclosed emitter means nothing gets inside the optic — no water, dirt, lint, or debris can reach the emitter or lens. It also wipes clean easily if it takes a drop in mud. The optic is nitrogen-filled for fog mitigation, similar to a quality riflescope, and has a large FOV. It’s available in red or green reticles with the MRS (32 MOA ring + 2 MOA dot, ring only, or dot only).

The 509T also has Shake Awake, a side-removable battery, Solar Failsafe with auto or manual brightness modes, 10 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, and IP67 waterproofing. Weight is approximately 2.08 oz — the heaviest optic in this guide.

Bottom line: the 509T is the go-to choice for duty or defensive carry where the optic must survive extreme conditions, including submersion.

Read our full 509T review here.

6. Holosun 509 ACSS Vulcan Red - Best Specialty Closed Emitter

Buy the 509 ACSS Vulcan at the Best Price

Similar to the 509T is the 509 ACSS Vulcan. It’s an enclosed emitter optic, but it has two major differences: it’s made out of aluminum instead of titanium, and it runs the ACSS Reticle (10 MOA chevron + 250 MOA outer ring) instead of the MRS. The aluminum housing makes it lighter and more affordable than the 509T, but slightly less impact-resistant — better suited for competition or range use than hard-use duty carry.

Available in red reticle only, there is no green version.

This optic is a good option if you need an enclosed emitter and must have the ACSS reticle.

7. Holosun 507 Comp Green & Red Dot - Largest Window Competition Reticle

Buy the 507 Comp at the Best Price

Next on the list is the Holosun 507 Comp. This is one of Holosun’s newest and most sought-after optics. “Comp” stands for “Competition” because this optic features a VERY large window meant for competition shooting. It’s among the largest windows in the industry.

The 507 Comp has some key differences vs. the other optics listed here. First, it has the C.R.S. (Complete Reticle System), which gives it many reticle configurations: a 2 MOA dot only, a 2 MOA dot + 8, 20, or 32 MOA circle, or just the 8, 20, or 32 MOA circle on its own.

However, the 507 Comp has no solar panel, which means there’s no auto brightness setting. You’ll need to manage brightness manually.

It has a 7075 T6 aluminum housing, Shake Awake, a side-removable battery, manual brightness modes, 10 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, and IP67 waterproofing.  

Because of its size, verify holster compatibility before purchasing, as not all P10 optic-cut holsters accommodate the 507 Comp’s wider body.

8. Holosun 407C-X3 – Updated RMR Duty Optic

Buy the Holosun 407C-X3 at the Best Price

The Holosun 407C-X3 is the newest evolution of the popular 407C series, bringing several design improvements over the previous X2 model while maintaining the proven RMR footprint that fits most full-size pistol optic cuts and adapter plates.

The X3 version features a flatter top housing designed to improve durability and impact resistance compared to the rounded design of the earlier model. The optic also uses a blacked-out Holosun logo for a cleaner, more subdued appearance.

The optic sits approximately 1mm lower than the previous X2 version, giving a slightly lower deck height which can improve co-witness potential and overall presentation on many pistols.

The 407C-X3 uses a simple and effective 2 MOA dot reticle available in red, green, or gold, providing precise aiming while remaining fast to acquire.

Battery life has also been significantly improved. Powered by a CR1632 battery, the 407C-X3 delivers up to 100,000 hours of runtime on the dot setting at brightness level 6 — roughly double the battery life of the previous X2 generation.

The optic is built from 7075-T6 aluminum and includes Holosun features like Solar Failsafe, Shake Awake, and automatic brightness adjustment, making the 407C-X3 a durable and reliable choice for range use, concealed carry, or duty pistols.

9. Holosun 507C-X3 – Updated RMR Multi-Reticle Optic

Buy the Holosun 507C-X3 at the Best Price

The Holosun 507C-X3 is the newest evolution of the popular 507C series, updating the previous generation with a reinforced housing and improved design while maintaining the proven RMR footprint used by most full-size pistol optic cuts and adapter plates.

Like the 407C-X3, the housing sits flatter and roughly 1mm lower than the X2 generation, and uses a blacked-out logo for a more subdued look.

The 507C-X3 features Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System (MRS), letting you switch between a 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or the circle-dot combination. Reticle colors are available in red, green, or gold.

Powered by a CR1632 battery, the 507C-X3 delivers up to 100,000 hours of battery life on the dot-only setting at brightness level 6 — roughly double the runtime of the previous X2 generation.

The optic is constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum and includes Solar Failsafe, Shake Awake, and automatic brightness adjustment, making the 507C-X3 a durable and versatile option for concealed carry, duty pistols, or range use.

10. Holosun 407 COMP – Large Competition Window, 6 MOA Dot

Buy the Holosun 407 COMP at the Best Price

The Holosun 407 COMP delivers the same large competition-ready housing as the popular 507 Comp, but with a simplified reticle designed for shooters who prefer a clean aiming point. It’s also the most budget-friendly competition-style optic in Holosun’s lineup, coming in at a lower price than the 507 Comp and 507 PROMAX.

Built on the RMR footprint, the 407 COMP fits a wide range of full-size pistol optic cuts and adapter plates while maintaining a low-profile mounting setup, including this guide’s CHPWS plate.

The optic features a large competition viewing window, giving a wide sight picture that makes it easier to track the dot during fast target transitions and recoil.

Instead of the Competition Reticle System used on the 507 Comp, the 407 COMP uses a simple and effective 6 MOA dot, available in red, green, or gold.

Power comes from a side-loading CR1632 battery tray, which allows battery replacement without removing the optic or losing zero. Battery life is rated up to 50,000 hours on the dot-only setting.

The optic is built from 7075-T6 aluminum and includes Shake Awake, Lockout Mode, and brightness memory, making the 407 COMP a strong option for competition shooters who want a large window optic without the higher price of the other competition models.

11. Holosun 507 PROMAX – Largest Competition Window Optic

Buy the Holosun 507 PROMAX at the Best Price

The Holosun 507 PROMAX is designed for shooters who want the largest possible viewing window on a pistol optic. With a window size of roughly 1.18 × 0.98 inches, it offers 21% more viewing area than the 507 Comp, making it one of the largest pistol red dot windows currently available.

Built on the RMR footprint, the 507 PROMAX fits the same range of full-size pistol optic cuts and adapter plates while maintaining a secure, competition-ready mounting setup.

The optic uses Holosun’s Performance Reticle System (PRS), giving shooters multiple reticle choices including a 2 MOA dot, 8 MOA circle, 20 MOA circle, 32 MOA circle, and circle-dot combinations, available in red, green, or gold.

A forward-leaning integrated sunshade helps reduce glare and improves reticle contrast in bright lighting conditions. At the same time, the enlarged window makes it easier to track the dot during fast transitions and recoil.

Unlike the 407 COMP and 507 Comp, the 507 PROMAX also features a solar panel, giving it Solar Failsafe and an auto brightness mode.

Power comes from a side-loading CR1632 battery tray with up to 100,000 hours of battery life on the dot-only setting. The optic is built from durable 7075-T6 aluminum and includes Shake Awake, brightness memory, and Lockout Mode.

12. Holosun AEMS-MACRO – Large Window Enclosed Competition Optic

Buy the Holosun AEMS-MACRO at the Best Price

The Holosun AEMS-MACRO combines the large-window performance of competition-style optics with the durability of a fully enclosed emitter design. With a roughly 0.9 × 0.9-inch viewing window, it provides a wide, square sight picture that makes it easier to track the dot during recoil and fast target transitions.

The enclosed emitter housing protects the LED from rain, dust, and debris, making the AEMS-MACRO a strong option for shooters who want the reliability of an enclosed optic without giving up a large viewing window.

The optic uses Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System (MRS), letting you select between a 2 MOA dot, a 32 MOA circle, or a circle-dot combination, available in red, green, or gold.

The AEMS-MACRO includes Solar Failsafe and a forward-facing light sensor for automatic brightness adjustment, along with Shake Awake technology.

Built from durable 7075 aluminum, the optic mounts using 509 T footprint adapter plates.

Best Modified RMSc Footprint Holosun Optics for the CZ P10 Optics Ready - Smaller Optics

Below are the best modified RMSc/K-Series footprint Holosun red & green dot optics you can mount on your CZ P10 Optics Ready model. These optics require the  Calculated Kinetics CZ P10 407K/507K/EPS Carry Adapter Plate or the CHPWS CZ P10 407K/507K/EPS/EPS Carry Adapter Plate.

Except for the EPS Full Size, these optics are smaller, have smaller windows, and have zero to minimal overhang on the slide.

1. Holosun EPS Full Size Red or Green (6MOA, 2MOA, MRS) - Best All-Around Closed Emitter, Larger Optic

Buy the EPS at the Best Price

This is Holosun’s closed-emitter optic made out of aluminum. It has a lower deck height than the 509T and 509, and is a larger model than the EPS Carry below.

These EPS models come in red or green and either a 2 MOA, 6 MOA, or MRS reticle. The MRS reticle has Solar Failsafe and an auto brightness mode; the others do not.

Read our full EPS Full Size review here.

2. Holosun 407K Green & Red Dot - Best Budget Option

Buy the 407K at the Best Price

This is the most affordable micro optic Holosun makes and is available in a 6 MOA green or red dot.

If you’re looking for a single-dot optic that’s very affordable and great for plinking, this might be the one for you. The 6 MOA dot is a nice size. It’s big enough to pick up rather easily, but still small enough to be precise with.

It has an aluminum housing, side-removable battery, manual brightness controls, Shake Awake, IP67 waterproofing, and 50,000 hours of battery life.

Read our full 407K review here.

3. Holosun 507K Green & Red Dot - Best All-Around Option

Buy the 507K at the Best Price

The next step up from the 407K is the 507K. This has all the same features — aluminum housing, side-removable battery, manual brightness controls, Shake Awake, IP67 waterproofing, and long battery life but it also has Holosun’s Multi Reticle System (MRS).

The MRS reticle is a 32 MOA ring with a 2 MOA dot. It’s really cool when you look at it — similar to an EOTech’s reticle if you’ve ever seen one.

You can toggle the reticle by holding down the “-” button for 3 seconds. So if you wanted to, you could use just the 32 MOA ring, the 2 MOA dot only, or both together.

Read our full 507K review here.

4. Holosun 507K ACSS Vulcan Green & Red Dot - Best Specialty Option

Buy the 507K ACSS Vulcan at the Best Price

Next on the list is the 507K ACSS Vulcan. This is exactly like the 507K except it has the ACSS Vulcan reticle. This reticle also 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’re off center. To learn more about the ACSS Vulcan reticle, check out our article here.

The dotted outer ring can be turned off by holding down the “-” button for 3 seconds. All the other features are the same as the 507K, and this is available in both red & green.

Read our full 507K ACSS review here.

5. Holosun EPS Carry - Best Enclosed Emitter Option, Smaller Optic

Buy the EPS Carry at the Best Price

The EPS Carry is very similar to the 407K and 507K except it has one major difference: it’s an enclosed emitter optic. This means a hood protects the laser emitter, so dirt, mud, or debris will never get in the way to distort the reticle. It also has the highest waterproof rating in this guide, at IPX8.

There are three versions of the EPS Carry — 2 MOA, 6 MOA, and MRS. The MRS version has a solar panel on it, acting as a solar failsafe to power the reticle if the battery dies, and it also gives you an auto brightness feature that can be toggled on or off.

Read our full EPS Carry review here.

6. Holosun EPS Core – Enclosed RMSc Large Window Optic

Buy the Holosun EPS Core at the Best Price

The EPS-CORE takes the full-size viewing window from the EPS Full Size and drops it into a slimmer, RMSc/K-footprint housing — Holosun’s way of saying you get a bigger sight picture without the wider body. It’s built from 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum (depending on version) with IPX8 waterproofing and rated for 5000G of vibration resistance.

It’s available with either a clean single 3 MOA dot or the Multi Reticle System (2 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, or the combo), in red, green, or gold. Brightness is managed automatically by a forward-facing light sensor working with Solar Failsafe, and Shake Awake keeps it instantly ready when the pistol moves. The side-loading CR1620 battery is rated up to 50,000 hours and can be swapped without removing the optic from the slide.

Bottom line: if you want the enclosed protection of the EPS platform with the wider glass of the full-size EPS, but still want the slimmer RMSc footprint, the EPS Core is the pick.

7. Holosun AEMS Micro – Enclosed RMSc Square Window Optic

Buy the Holosun AEMS Micro at the Best Price

The AEMS Micro shrinks Holosun’s enclosed AEMS platform down into a true micro optic, with a compact 0.71 × 0.71-inch square window that still maximizes usable glass for its footprint. The fully enclosed housing keeps dust, debris, and moisture away from the emitter, and the optic ships with an RMSc-to-AEMS-Micro adapter plate for broad mounting compatibility.

It runs Holosun’s Multi Reticle System (2 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, or the combo) in red, green, or gold, with a forward-facing light sensor for automatic brightness, Solar Failsafe, and Shake Awake with Lockout Mode. Power comes from a side-loading CR1620 battery rated up to 50,000 hours, and the housing is 7075-T6 aluminum with IPX8 waterproofing.

Bottom line: if a true micro footprint with enclosed-emitter durability is the priority, the AEMS Micro is the smallest closed-emitter option in this guide.

How to choose between red or green reticles

Both red and green Holosun reticles are excellent, and the choice mostly comes down to personal preference and shooting environment:

• Red reticles tend to be more visible in low light and dim indoor environments, and are generally the more affordable option.
• Green reticles are easier for the human eye to pick up quickly in bright daylight, tend to cause less eye strain over long sessions, and are typically slightly more power-efficient — though they usually carry a small price premium.
• 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 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.

For a deeper breakdown, check out our full guide: Red Dot vs Green Dot: Pros & Cons.

How to choose between open vs closed emitter

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 a 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 reflex sights 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 inside 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.

For the full comparison, read our guide: Open vs Closed Emitter Pistol Optics: Which Is Best for You?

How to decide which reticle style is best for you

In this guide, we covered a few different reticle options. If you need some help deciding which is best for you, here are some of our thoughts on each.

	2 MOA only : This dot is quite small which makes it precise. The downside is that it can be hard to “pick up” upon drawing the weapon. If you are experienced shooting red dot sights on pistols then this may not be an issue for you. If you are new, we recommend you practice “finding the dot” at home to become proficient. If you can train your muscle memory to find the dot then 2 MOA is a great choice.
	6 MOA only : This dot is decently larger than the 2 MOA dot. We classify this as more user friendly than the 2 MOA dot as it’s a bit easier to pick up upon drawing. The 6 MOA dot will not be as precise as the 2 MOA dot at long distances (50+ yards) but it is still plenty accurate at all distance ranges. The 6 MOA dot is a nice size and it gives you a less cluttered reticle. Some people prefer it over the MRS.
	MRS Reticle (32 MOA Ring + 2 MOA Dot): This reticle is a good combination of both large and small. You have the 2 MOA dot to be precise with, and the 32 MOA Ring to help “find the dot”. The 32 MOA Circle is quite hard to miss. The nice thing about this reticle is the flexibility. You can use the 32 MOA Ring only or the 2 MOA dot only or both together. This way you can find what you prefer and stick to it.
	ACSS Vulcan with 10 MOA Chevron and 250 MOA Outer Ring : This reticle is going to be the most precise out of all the other options because of it’s Chevron. The tip of the chevron is the most precise aiming point in any red dot reticle. The 250 MOA outer ring is not visible when the chevron is centered, it’s only visible when you need to adjust your aim. This way “finding the dot” becomes quicker. The chevron also gives you range finding capabilities which none of the other optics do. The only shorter battery life compared to other options.
	ACSS Vulcan with 3 MOA Dot and 230 MOA Dotted Outer Ring : This reticle is going to have a 3 moa dot and the 230 MOA dotted outer ring. The outer ring is only visible when the dot is not centered. The purpose is to help you find the dot quicker upon drawing the weapon. The 3 MOA dot give you a slightly larger dot than the 2 MOA dot, but it’s not that noticeable. The real value to this reticle is the outer ring and it’s assistance with helping you get on target faster by quickly adjusting your grip to “find the dot”
	CRS Reticle (32 MOA Ring, 20 MOA Ring, 8 MOA Ring, 2 MOA Center Dot): The CRS reticle is 7 different reticles in one. It comes with a 32 MOA circle, 20 MOA circle, 8 MOA Circle, and 2 MOA Dot. Holding down the "-" button for 3 seconds lets you toggle through all the reticle options to decide which you like best. You can use The 2 MOA Dot only, one of the circles only, or both the dot and a circle combo together.
