Holosun AEMS Micro Red, Green, & Gold Dot Sights - Enclosed Emitter - MRS Reticle

Why Choose the Holosun AEMS-MICRO?

The Holosun AEMS-MICRO brings a unique design to the enclosed pistol optic market. While most micro red dots focus on keeping their overall profile as small as possible, the AEMS-MICRO takes a different approach by offering a taller, square viewing window.

This makes it an interesting option for those who want a compact enclosed red dot for concealed carry but also appreciate having additional viewing space to help locate and track their reticle during recoil.

What Footprint Does the Holosun AEMS-MICRO Use?

The Holosun AEMS-MICRO uses a modified ACRO-style clamping interface rather than a screw-through RMSc footprint. However, every AEMS-MICRO includes an RMSc adapter plate. Always confirm the specific slide cut and mounting hardware before installation.

AEMS-MICRO Red, Green, and Gold Reticle Options

The AEMS-MICRO is available in three reticle colors: red, green, and gold. Each version features Holosun's Multi-Reticle System (MRS), allowing shooters to switch between a precision dot, a larger circle, or a combination of both.

Choosing between red, green, and gold largely comes down to personal preference and which color appears clearest to your eyes.

Additional Holosun AEMS-MICRO Features

• Enclosed Emitter: Protects the LED emitter from rain, dust, lint, and other debris.
• Solar Failsafe: Supplements battery power and supports automatic brightness adjustment.
• Shake Awake: Automatically deactivates the reticle when the optic is stationary and reactivates it when motion is detected.
• Multi-Reticle System: Switch between dot, circle, and circle-dot reticle configurations.
• Automatic and Manual Brightness: Choose your preferred method of controlling reticle brightness.
• Side-Loading Battery: Allows battery replacement without removing the optic from the pistol.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Holosun AEMS-MICRO

What is the battery life of the Holosun AEMS-MICRO?

The Holosun AEMS-MICRO offers up to 100,000 hours of battery life using a CR1620 battery. It also features Holosun's Shake Awake technology, which automatically turns off the reticle when the optic is not in use and reactivates it when motion is detected. This helps conserve battery life, making the AEMS-MICRO a great option for everyday carry.

What footprint does the Holosun AEMS-MICRO use?

The Holosun AEMS-MICRO itself uses a modified ACRO footprint, allowing it to mount onto ACRO-cut slides and compatible ACRO adapter plates. It includes a spacer to fill the additional space at the front of an ACRO mounting cut.

Additionally, every AEMS-MICRO comes with an RMSc adapter plate, allowing it to mount onto RMSc-cut slides commonly found on compact and subcompact pistols. This gives the AEMS-MICRO mounting options for both ACRO and RMSc platforms.

What is the Holosun AEMS-MICRO housing made of?

The AEMS-MICRO features a durable 7075-T6 aluminum housing. This high-strength aluminum alloy provides excellent durability while keeping the optic lightweight, making it well suited for slide-mounted use on concealed carry pistols.

What brightness modes does the Holosun AEMS-MICRO have?

The Holosun AEMS-MICRO features three operating modes:

• Manual Mode: Allows you to manually adjust the reticle brightness to your preference.
• Automatic Mode: Automatically adjusts reticle brightness based on surrounding lighting conditions. The AEMS-MICRO features a forward-facing light sensor, allowing it to better account for lighting conditions in front of the optic rather than relying solely on the solar panel on top.
• Lockout Mode: Prevents accidental brightness adjustments by disabling the adjustment buttons.

Who is the Holosun AEMS-MICRO best suited for?

The Holosun AEMS-MICRO is ideal for shooters looking for a compact enclosed pistol optic with a taller viewing window. It's particularly appealing for compact and subcompact handguns with RMSc optic cuts, including popular concealed carry platforms.

If you're currently using a Holosun 407K, 507K, or EPS Carry and wish you had a little more vertical viewing space, the AEMS-MICRO is definitely worth considering. Its taller, square window can make it easier to track your dot during recoil while still maintaining a compact design suitable for everyday carry.
