    Lets talk AR Pistol optics...Again

    Ive gone through a few of these threads and still cannot decide what to do here. I could revive an existing thread but one doesn't cover all my choices. So while we're all bored out of our minds, lets talk AR pistol optics.

    This pistol will be configured for home defense (eventually it will get suppressed) and a range toy. Since that will be its purpose in life, I want an optic that has fast sight acquisition, durability, decent battery life and most importantly, holds zero.

    Vortex:
    I love Vortex stuff and have been running a strike eagle for quite some time that has been flawless. So I wouldn't mind sticking with them, but with a red dot or reflex.

    Ive had a Vortex Spark before and I liked it "ok" but it would not hold zero. While I liked the 2 moa dot, I would have preferred a circle surrounding it for even faster acquisition. Not sure I'd go back to a spark.

    I really like the UH-1 but they are a nightmare to get ahold of. Hint to anyone considering selling one

    Eotech:
    The XPS2 was what I was set on getting but Im starting to have second thoughts about that one. The warranty bothers me and honestly, I hate CR123 batteries. I can never find them when I need them. I love the reticle though, even though it is a bit grainy compared to the UH-1

    Holosun:
    This is the one Im really interested in. They have a perfect reticle, good battery life and seem to have an average warranty. Theres a few models I like:

    HS503G - https://www.opticsplanet.com/holosun...s-reticle.html
    HS512C - https://www.opticsplanet.com/holosun...dot-sight.html
    HE508T-V2 - https://www.opticsplanet.com/holosun...dot-sight.html
    HS503CU - https://www.opticsplanet.com/holosun...dot-sight.html

    Sig Romeos:
    Seem ok, probably would go back to a Spark before I bought one of these though. Feel free to change my mind.

    Aimpoint:
    I get it, the battery life is ridiculous. Other than that though, I just don't see the advantage over a Vortex Spark. I don't know what my deal with Aimpoint is but I just don't get into them. And the ones I like are redonculously expensive.

    So, who's got an opinion?
