Pretty funny how many high view count videos discuss the difference between red and green dots but do not actually show the viewer the difference. The video you made here is what people actually need to see!
Thanks, great video. Fyi I don't care much for "professional RUclipsrs." I'd much rather just watch an imperfect video from a regular person. Thanks again
I've been curious about green reticles. Bought a couple of red dots before and was about to bite again for red. Green is definitely the way I want to go. Ordered thru Amazon since local dealer is 50 miles away, Same price. Mounted it on Ruger LC carbine 5.7X28. Just perfect. Don't think the ground hogs are gonna like what happens next. Thank you for doing this. Ted 👍 One final edit, 150 rounds later. This sight is perfect for my eyes with the green reticle. Having fun for sure. 🤪👍👍
I have a red dot, was considering an upgrade and didn't know if a green dot might be a better option for me. I'm starting to lean towards green. Thanks for the vid.
Now that Holosun has taken battery life out of the equation with green I am changing many of my arms over to green. I perceive it far better than red regardless of background coloring.
You have helped me, add a +1 to those you have helped with your videos. between the 407k/507k and 510c video, I was able to compare reticles and whether my eyes like green or red. Thanks good sir!
I really appreciate the video. I've picked up several holosuns in person, and the green reticles (SCS and 507c) both have spring green colors to them. It's just my eyes, but they are always blurrier than red reticles/dots, and they starburst more. The 6MOA red has the cleanest reticle I've ever seen, with the fiber optic FireDot from Leupold being tied.
Thank you so much for this video. I am red and green color blind and was wondering which I would be able to see better. Definitely the green, not even close.
@@ModestOutlaw Yeah, they are like 'unicorns ' currently... ordered the green 507Kx2 yesterday. Already have a red on an 'XL so at least it'll be familiar. Thanks.
Great video! The video did a good job showing the difference in color and brightness - the green definitely showed up more in the video. Because of the video, I bought both versions to try out and sadly the green just did not work well for me - it was starbuursting a bit too much for my eyes. Couldn't verify if it was due to my slight astigmatism or if it was due to the fact that I'm pretty green-colorblind... or maybe both issues combined to make the green just not as comfortable for my eyes to pick up. So for any of those out there who has astigmatism and is even mildly green-colorblind, red might work out best for ya! Edit: autocorrect issues
Green is best for all human eyes because of biology…however, if you have astigmatism, you will likely have a strong preference for red or green. I personally can’t use green, it’s like an exploding star, the red is nearly perfect so try both
Great comparison. Thank for taking your time on each sight. The problem is I can't decide which one is better. The longer I look at them the more I like them both. Can't tell which I like better. I've got red on my rifles. Maybe I should stay with the same color. Thanks again.
It helped me out. Was trying to figure out if I’d like the green or not. My vision has changed for the worse the past few years, going to put one of these on my carbine.
Great video and focus with your camera so it didn't bloom the dot. Given me some thought as the green really pops on video but does it in real life as well. I think I may pick up a HS EPS Carry in green reticle for my Sig Sauer P365 XMACRO! Thanks!
I like how the reticle stays on target regardless of the focal point this is an issue with other brands the focal point has to be in the center otherwise the reticle moves from the target
I have a green on the way. It will set on top of my hot rodded Windham AR. Thanks for the side by side comparison. I have a red HS510 on my CQB AR pistol.
Swtg I'm a bit colorblind so I thought the red version I bought today was greenish when I looked at it at first lol. Generally, prefer red for my environment but this red shade seems different to others I've owned, I like it though. For me its a negligible difference, I hear the arguments about green being easier for humans eyes but I don't know if that science applies to like bright green led shades. Also feel like we train ourselves to look for red irl (stop signs/lights). I generally buy what is cheaper but I do wonder if green would actually work better for me.
Yes, I own lots of Holosuns. Think they are the best bang per buck on the market and for those that say they aren't battle proven check the pictures of Ukraine.
I was wanting to go with the 510c green but i found the red one at a local shop for 260$ tax included so i just went with that. Great video tho maybe ill go green next time lol
The red looks fuzzy to me, and the green looks more crisp. I have a nasty astigmatism, and looking for my first dot. After watching this I think I'll go with green. ty
astigmatism doesn't show up in videos, as you'll hear cameras don't have the condition. what your seeing, I think is just red doesn't work with your eyes as well as green. ( same with me )
Most green dot that I've had my hands on have a little redish tint (a little harder for human eyes to notice, thus clearer than the blue tint)...This 510C-GR, on the other hand, still manage to have blue-ish tint. It's weird. And not sure if it's just me, but 510Red seem to have less color tint than the green version...?
In the gold prospecting world it's a given that a green pan is the best color for a pan. There is tons of science used to get gold out of a river or rock and the color green was found to be the best color to highlight little specks of gold against.
Thank you boss!! Very helpful video… I’m still having a hard time deciding. Im a newbie…I do wear contacts for astigmatism and my rifle is just for home defense. I would think if I ever needed to use it (hope never) it would be in a dark home. Anyone have suggestions for me? Thank you.
I have the Romeo 5 and green 7s and find the red to show up better in daylight outdoors/vegetation. Green is mostly better for quick “CQB” acquisition in my experience. Edit: also green shows more from the opposite side of the glass, not very stealthy.
@@captainairbus3215 night vision is in grey scale. Red light doesn't stimulate the rods hardly if any. Why would you want to (over)simulate the rods, which peak in the blue region, a light that's predominant in the day? Do you actually think your eyes will maintain night vision?
@@calangel wrong, green light protects your nightvision better then red. Plus it gives more clarity and detail then red light. Thats why its used in new gen jet fighters
Do you find the green Holosuns have a better glass tint (less blue notch filter) than the red Holosuns? I inspected 5 or 6 of them at a store and that was my distinct impression. Not an enormous difference, but not a tiny one either. Noticeable.
@nicholasfrancoeur3897 I personally don't have this issue and the Holosun is very crisp to my eyes. I have had some blooming on other cheaper optics, just not with my personal 510c's. Holosun has a decent warranty department, might be worth getting into contact with them. There is a Holosun group on Facebook that has Holosun Sales Reps who are very active.

This video is amazing. Too many vids talk about optics without much POV shots. This is a great comparison video, keep it up!
It’s crazy how much clearer the green is given the mostly green foliage/background. Would have thought it would blend in too much
Yeah, it's a excellent option and super clear.
In bright sunlight green looks really bad. This demonstration is done in a low light setting.
Im sure a front sight to use as a co-witness would help in brighter condtions.
@@THINKforYOURSELFinstead Actually, green light prevents night vision loss better than red light. Jet fighters use green light in the cockpit.
commenters trying to act like they know everything. simple answer is that green is easier to pick up because the human eye sees green better than red.
Thanks for the video man! I would have never thought the green would look so much more clear and defined. Going with green for sure.
Your welcome! The green definitely pops.
A guy at a local store suggested green over red, but I wasn't sure. This video answered that question. Thanks!
Seeing them side by side is huge. Great video, really appreciate this
Thank you for doing this. Definitely helps since no one else has posted a comparison video like this side by side. Going with green. Thanks again.
Thanks 😊
Thank you! I see the green better, at least on your video. I've been trying to decide between the two. Green for me - I think.
Thanks, great video. Fyi I don't care much for "professional RUclipsrs." I'd much rather just watch an imperfect video from a regular person. Thanks again
My old eyes thank you for informative video. no hype just useful information!
Thank you, this was very helpful. The green was much clearer, it really popped and was more visible to my eyes, even against the green foliage.

This was a great video, I knew I was getting this optic, and you made the color choice that much easier. Definitely getting a green version.
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been racking my brain on trying to decide on green vs red 🙏
dude your garden/yard is gorgeous!
I have a red dot, was considering an upgrade and didn't know if a green dot might be a better option for me. I'm starting to lean towards green. Thanks for the vid.
Now that Holosun has taken battery life out of the equation with green I am changing many of my arms over to green. I perceive it far better than red regardless of background coloring.
This video was great! Very simple yet super helpful.
I was sold on the green version until you got rid of the donut and only displayed the 2 MOA dot.
Same lol
Wow. A short , sweet video that tells you eveything you need to know. Green for old eyes.
Thank you for the side by side. Great video. Just what I wanted to see to help make my choice.
i looked at both at the store and green def looks brighter and more crisp to me
Thank you for the comparison. This really helps me out A LOT!!! You did a great job on your video too!!!
You have helped me, add a +1 to those you have helped with your videos.

Thanks! I'm happy that it helped you out!
That was awesome I really wanted a side by side comparison for the colors and no one else that I could find did it
green is the most visible color to the human eye from a distance and will always appear sharper to most people
The glass tint looks better on the red one, I think.
I really appreciate the video. I've picked up several holosuns in person, and the green reticles (SCS and 507c) both have spring green colors to them. It's just my eyes, but they are always blurrier than red reticles/dots, and they starburst more.

Right on man. Exactly what I needed to see
This video was really helpful for me. Thank you so much! Simple and quick. Sometimes not professional is better.
Thank you so much for this video. I am red and green color blind and was wondering which I would be able to see better. Definitely the green, not even close.
Sure thing! You should look at the 512 gold dot, that would be your best bet!
@@ParadoxZer0 For a rifle I agree. Unfortunately that model gold dot doesn’t fit my pistol.
Great vid. Green really stands out. Red actually looks pink in comparison. Decided to go with a 507K in green this time instead of red. Thanks!
If you haven't ordered yet have you checked out the Holosun EPS carry? There's some benefits to having an enclosed system
@@ModestOutlaw Yeah, they are like 'unicorns ' currently... ordered the green 507Kx2 yesterday. Already have a red on an 'XL so at least it'll be familiar. Thanks.
If you haven't joined reddit/gundeals the eps carry gets posted weekly. Best place to buy the best deals around 👌
How are you finding the greendot? Im looking to get an eps carry but cant decide which color dot
Thank you for this. I’m blind on one side and I have a Stigmatism so this helps me narrow down my choices
I'm glad I could help 😌
You have astigmatism, not a stigmatism.

I'm glad I could help, sorry about your experience the green. I'm also slightly tritanopia color blind, probably why the red doesn't pop for me.

If your good with red, it's always a solid choice. This was my first green dot and it works great for me, I actually prefer it anymore.
I have red on my rifle also. I might just stick with it. Im thinking transitions might not be as smooth with a color change.
great video, thanks.
This is an excellent comparison thank you. I’ll be going with green after seeing this
It helped me out. Was trying to figure out if I’d like the green or not. My vision has changed for the worse the past few years, going to put one of these on my carbine.
The reticle will be blurry without your prescription glasses or contacts
This helped me out making a decision. Thanks for this post.

Naturally, humans can detect green better. But I’m baffled at how I can see the green in a green backdrop. 🗿
Just wanted to let you know your video was very helpful. Thank you!

Hit up your LGS and put your eyes to the test. I've got some colorblind issues as well and the green pops.
This has helped greatly. I'll go with the green if I choose one of these.
I decided on the green. Evidence shows that green is much easier for the eye to pick up in daylight and any background
The green in this case does look brighter but I'll still go with red
Appreciate the video definitely helped me make my determination to go with green
Thank you for making the video! I don’t have any of this stuff, but the color comparison is very informative.
Just bought a 507k in green. Also have a Swampfox Justice in green and a Sig Romeo in red. I likeee green! You likeee Holosun's.
Yes, I own lots of Holosuns. Think they are the best bang per buck on the market and for those that say they aren't battle proven check the pictures of Ukraine.

Green also disrupts night vision more than red, while red has little to no effect of reversing night vision. Blue is the worst offender.

Simple video and very helpful. Thanks man!
Helpful video; thanks
Thanks, super helpful! Keeping it simple stupid.
Green better!
Thanks for the info I just pulled the trigger on a green🤣
Thank you!
Green for my buddy thanks
P.S. Thanks for comparing them.
Any idea the distance the green retains its clarity for effective shooting?
Why not turn the brightness up??
Picked a new green one off eBay for $280 SOO WORTH IT
Which is better at low light situations, I'm getting older and I'm liking the green dot here. Thankyou
I think the green is better in all situations really, for my eyes anyway. I'm 45 and they aren't like they used to be.
@@ParadoxZer0 thanks man ,I with you there 👍
Forget the red dot your backyard looks like a passage way to Narnia
Is it just me, or does the green have less parallax too?
Thanks
Do you find that the reticle is out of focus ? Ive had a few friend la confirm that they were also seeing it..not due to astigmatism..
