Every time a Chinese manufacturer introduces anything, the china-phobic feel obligated to chime in.
There are good reasons for it. But before the holosun red dots, you had to pay 3 quarters of a grand for rifle rds from aimpoint or half a grand for a pistol rds from trijicon. They also didn't really develope anything new in that decade. I wouldn't either, why innovate (costing money) when I can sit there and make money, since consumers had no other choice. Now look at the previous five years. We've seen a PLETHORA of RDS' in different shapes and sizes.
The same has happened to various parts of the NV market. Majority due to innovate US based brands, but making it possible to enter the market at 3k for a set of binos, definetly opened the niche of NV to a much larger population of the firearms consumer sector.
You don't like Chinese made goods because of xyz reasons, good for you. And yes there are definetly actual concerns present. But virtue signaling by using your reasons is never a good look.
As a consumer, you can't say the increased competition by these Chinese made goods has not force innovation which has only lead to a benefit to the US consumer.
Some facts of this product, it's not a copy of anything. It's under a grand. It actually seems useful. It got thru the entire conformance testing process in around a year.
I find it funny how US made mfals cant claim the above facts. They have all either been vaporware or was promised at x price, but wait they decided to rape you at 3x instead, oh and they still haven't come out with a civ version. Yet somehow holosun has. Say what you will, holosun walked the walk, while other just talked the talk.
