Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Holosun 407K

Anyone feel that the 6 MOA dot is too big? This is for a hunting pistol, that I will also carry sometimes. If I have a shot more than 50 yards with the pistol that would be an exception. Looking at the holosun 407K green, which I believe has the 6 MOA dot.

EPS Carry MRS green. Dot, circle or circledot. I wouldn't want 6 moa on a hunter.....

Especially on a hunting pistol, I would go with the 2 MOA dot.

the circle dot thing is interesting.

I have the same sight on one of my compact pistols, but with the red dot. Ringing the 8" gong at 50 yds.... piece of cake.

30338 and starsky was over today to bang steel. After the rifles were put up we pulled out some pistols. Starsky was hitting the 10" gong at 200 yards pretty consistantly with a lowly glock 34. But he wasn't using a 6 moa dot.... I had multiple hits on a 8"er at 100 with the baby Girsan HP clone. Again, no 6moa dot....

So how does that relate to the posters question?

I have the EPS 6moa dot on my carry gun which works great for this purpose. For hunting I might choose the 2 moa dot.

It relates as it shows a finer dot performs as well as 'the blob', without all the unnecessary lit-up electronic clutter.

You just answered that question yourself.

"For hunting I might choose the 2 moa dot."

huntsman22 said they were shooting steel at 100 and 200 yds.

Kinda depends what you’re hunting. A 3” dot at 50 yards is bigger than I’d want.

2MOA on a hunting gun

The 2 MOA dot makes the most sense for a hunting pistol. Thanks everyone

As far as I can discern Huntsman is bragging about shooting with iron sights, not a dot.

nope, dot sight. and no brag....

I wouldn’t place him in the bragger category. Thanks ,Brother Super.

No. He's not a bragger.

Huntsman, do you have any feel for the Holosun MRS reticle? 65 MOA circle with 2 MOA dot? I have a similar set up on an older sig red dot on a carbine, honestly I use the center dot more than any remembrance of using the 65MOA circle. It seems like it might enable a pistol to have both faster close shooting with a 2 MOA dot for distance??

I have the holosun EPS Carry MRS green's. They have a 2 moa dot, a 32 moa circle or a 32 moa circle with dot. I tend to use the circle only, on carry guns and the dot for precision/distance, like you said. I do have a couple ADE's with the 65moa circle dots and like that bigger circle more than the 32 with the dot centered. Circle only, I like the 32 betterer....

Thank you, I was confused on the circle size. It’s the EPS Carry MRS green then!

I think you'll like that one. I sure do...
