Looking for Feedback on Holosun 407C vs 407K

I’ve been diving into the world of red dot sights lately, and I keep coming across the Holosun 407C and 407K. I’m trying to decide which one fits my needs better, especially for my P365.

Quick Specs Overview

To kick things off, let’s break down some basic specs:

  • Holosun 407C

    • Size: Larger footprint, suitable for full-size handguns.
    • Brightness Settings: 12 (adjustable)
    • Weight: Heavier than the 407K, affecting balance slightly.

  • Holosun 407K

    • Size: Compact design, ideal for concealed carry firearms like the P365.
    • Brightness Settings: 10 (adjustable)
    • Weight: Lighter and easier to integrate on smaller firearms.

Considerations for Each

  • Practical Applications
    The 407C seems more versatile for those who might want to switch it between various guns, while the 407K feels like a tailor-made option for sub-compact models like mine. My main question is, how pragmatic gives the size and weight impacts shooting performance, especially on smaller frames?

  • Features
    Both sights have the same reticle options and features like solar backup, which is a plus. However, I’m curious about the durability in real-world scenarios. Have any of you experienced weather or drop challenges with either model?

User Preferences

I’ve read opinions about the sight picture with both optics, but I’d love to know if any of you have personal experience with them on pistols like Glocks or even the P365. The preferences on reticle brightness and clarity seem to vary, too. Anyone with feedback on how they operate under varying light conditions?

Conclusion

Would really appreciate any insights from those who’ve used either the Holosun 407C or 407K! Pros and cons based on your experiences would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Looking forward to your thoughts!

I’ve been using the Holosun 407C on my P365 for about a year now. The battery life is fantastic—over 50,000 hours! I’ve had no issues with reticle options either; the dot is clear and crisp.

3

That’s impressive! Does the 407C handle well in low light conditions? I’m considering the 407K for its smaller footprint but I’m worried about performance.

4

I’ve tried both. The 407K is a bit more compact, making it easier to carry but I found the 407C has a more robust build. In outdoor shooting, the 407C shines.

That’s good to know! Any preferences on which is more accurate from your perspective?

6

I’ve found very little difference in accuracy between the two when used properly. It’s more about what you’re comfortable with. The 407K feels more streamlined but the 407C is rock solid.

7

Exactly! Plus, the 407K’s weight advantage makes a difference for all-day carry. Has anyone used them in rainy weather?

8

I took my 407K out in the rain recently, and it performed flawlessly! Battery life was solid too, and the reticle stayed clear.

9

Sounds great! I’m leaning towards the K for the weight. But how often do you guys change the batteries? Is it really that long-lasting?

Honestly, I only change the battery once a year as a precaution. Both models offer impressive battery life, but just to be safe, I do a yearly swap.

11

That’s reassuring! Now my only concern is choosing the right reticle style. I like options. Any thoughts?

12

The 407C definitely has more reticle options than the 407K. If you like versatility, I’d suggest going with the C for now.

Haha, that’s the spirit! Both have their perks, and honestly, it’s great to have choices when you go out shooting. Just be prepared for plenty of range time!

I’ve had great success mounting the Holosun 407C on my P365. The installation was straightforward, and it fits perfectly with the optics-ready slide. Highly recommend it for ease of use.

16

That’s awesome to hear! How does the 407K compare in terms of mounting? I’ve read it might require a plate for certain slides.

17

The 407K is actually pretty versatile too! It has some slide compatibility but may need a bit of adjustment with certain aftermarket slides. Just be sure to check your specific setup.

18

Totally worth considering! The 407C seems more plug-and-play with the P365, but the 407K can fit a wider variety of guns if you’re diversifying.

19

I’ve noticed some users say setting up the 407K can take a bit longer due to needing extra adapters. But if potential compatibility is a concern, it could be worth it.

20

I love the flexibility of the 407K, but installing it on a P365 isn’t as seamless as the 407C. Definitely make sure you have the right tools handy!
