Holosun’s Next-Gen Optics Stand Out from Competition
When it comes to a brand renaissance, Holosun has spent several years setting the bar for innovation, affordability, and quality. Long gone are the days of less-than-stellar optics. You’ll now find Holosun glass on guns used by professionals like law enforcement and pro-competition shooters.
While we were in Las Vegas for SHOT Show 2026, we swung by the Holosun booth for a sneak peek at what’s new in the world of affordable but rugged optics.
AEMS-EVO & AEMS-EVO-Dual

Coming in at about 30 percent larger than the AEMS-Pro-X2, the AEMS-EVO dot still offers red, green, and gold reticles with multiple reticle types. Offering a further upgrade, the AEMS-EVO-Dual steps things up with a built-in IR and visible laser.
That’s great news for competition shooters looking for an edge and those who run night-vision devices. To make things extra easy, the lasers are slaved to the reticle, which means you can zero your reticle and lasers all in one go.
The new optics run on CR123A batteries in an easy-to-access side housing, and there’s a port to attach pressure pads. Both optics offer Solar Failsafe and Shake Awake technology.
ARO-EVO-Dual

For those who like the finer things in life at a lower price point, the new ARO-EVO-Dual also offers a visible and IR laser combo. This optic runs on a side-loaded CR123A battery with connection points for a pressure pad.
The optic uses the T2 mounting system. Made with hard-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, the ARO-EVO-Dual comes with Holosun’s Solar Failsafe, Shake Awake tech, IPX8 waterproofing, and 1000G vibration resistance.
IRIS-ARC Illuminator

The new IRIS-ARC illuminator offers an adjustable throw from 3 degrees to 40 degrees. It is an IR-only illuminator designed for operating in the dark and comes with scout mounting points on the bottom. There is a rear pressure button and a connection port for an external pressure pad.
Fit for handheld, helmet-mounted, and weapon-mounted needs, the IRIS-ARC Illuminator is very competitively priced for the IR illuminator market.
507-Pro-Max

Big, fat reticles are a favorite among competition shooters, and Holosun’s new 507-Pro-Max offers an incredibly generous window size that can nearly swallow the old 407Comp competition red dots.
The 507-Pro-Max includes a backup solar panel and uses an RMR mounting footprint. The dot offers multiple reticle shapes and red, green, or gold illumination.
Redesigned 507C

The reimagined 507C offers a more subdued, concealable profile. It also incorporates the solar panel for which Holosun is increasingly known and uses an RMR footprint.
EPS-Core

For those looking to snag something extra concealable, Holosun’s EPS-Core dots offer a narrower profile while still maintaining a large optic window. Built for the RMSc footprint, these dots are perfect for concealed carry.
Plus, once again, you can set the 3-MOA dot to red, green, or gold. It also hosts Holosun’s Solar Failsafe and Shake Awake tech.
Fully Enclosed AEMS-Macro & AEMS-Micro Dots

Offering a 509T footprint, top solar panels, and side adjustments, the AEMS-Macro has a robust housing and makes for a great backup or primary dot on rifles and carbines. It is also quite at home on handguns and includes red, green, or gold reticle options.
Trimming things down from the rather large Macro, the AEMS-Micro is ACRO-compatible. Both optics are fully enclosed and, naturally, offer Holosun’s Solar Failsafe and Shake Awake tech.
