Hi,
Dang! I forgot to turn off my optic after my range session yesterday. I don't carry that pistol very often and only turn it on when I need it. Well, I guess I'll see if the "shake awake" feature works. Thanks for the reminder.
Thank you for your indulgence ,

Cliff, if it's a Holosun you don't ever need to turn it off. Trust me.
Not that you mentioned this but, While the shake awake is a great feature for the conceals carrier and LEO you still should replace the battery at the regular intervals solar backup or not.Hi,
Thanks.
Yeah, I know. 50,000 hours of battery life and all, with solar backup. But being the geek that I am, I don't like systems running when they're not in use. I haven't turned it off yet. Maybe I'll get used to it and just replace the battery once every year or so. I guess that's how most folks do it.

Have EPS 6MOA green on M&P 2.0 4" and SA 1911 AOS Operator 5" shoot them much better than other pistols with red dots. For me the green dot is much easier to pick up. I replace batteries yearly on my b-day.Have a Holosun EPS Carry green dot on my current EDC. Took a while to get use to it. But I'm good with it.
Have 4 other guns with Optics on them. I prefer green over red.
Only optic I'm not sure about yet is a Holosun SCS-MP2-GR I have on my M&P 2.0 Compact. Not sure how the "no" battery thing is going to work.
I have never turned one off. It's like 3 minutes or 10 minutes or something and it turns itself off. I do change all my batteries once a year no matter what, but I have never had a battery die and I have heard stories of guys with 3 year old batteries in shake awake equipped Holosuns. Personally the $25 or whatever it costs to put new batteries in all my optics, lights and lasers once a year is money well spent. Another thing to consider, if you carry spare batteries in the grip of your AR or shotgun ( and you should) they need to be replaced as well.Hi,
Thanks.

It could, I know a lot of competitors that use frame mounted red dots, like the Cmore systems, were that would not be appropriate for deep ccw.Does it matter?
No, it doesn’t.
